Day 1 Travel from Trang to Don Mueang Airport. Then take a minibus to Pak Chong, which takes about 4.5 hours. It rained the entire way. Upon arrival, we waited for the rental car. Once we got the car, we drove straight to the accommodation at Daimond Hill Resort. Arrived safely, but we were hungry, so we searched for a nearby restaurant using GPS. In summary, we didn’t get to explore much on the first day, just walked around the resort. Day 2 Started the day early with a visit to Khao Yai National Park. Next, we headed to The Birder's Lodge, followed by Primo Piazza, where we enjoyed the atmosphere, took photos, fed animals, and participated in various activities. Then, we visited Within Khaoyai café. The day ended at Thong Somboon Club, where we watched the sunset amidst a lush green landscape. Day 3 Before heading back, we stopped by Chokchai Farm. Then, we traveled back to Bangkok.

If you are traveling to Khao Chong near Saraburi, I recommend this place: Cat a Camp is both a cat cafe and accommodation. The view of the accommodation is right on the mountain. Free breakfast and a buffet of barbecue pork in the evening. There are many dogs and cats to play with for free. Most importantly, the owner is kind and the dogs like to take us to our rooms. 🤭

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck A newly opened cafe located inside the hotel, Paco by Bonanza Khao Yai, designed in the style of a glass house. The triangular shape is enhanced with a cool black steel structure and large glass panels that allow you to fully see the nature outside. Enjoy many unique photo spots both inside the shop and in the garden area outside, surrounded by large trees around the shop. It makes you feel refreshed and relaxed like you are in the mountains, escaping the chaos of the city. 📍Address: Located inside the hotel, Paco by Bonanza Khao Yai, 236 Moo 11, Bonanza Village, Khanong Phra, Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. |Tel: 085-594-8901 #Don'tMissCafe

Coffee lovers must try this shop called Slow Laap, but you have to eat outside because they don't allow you to bring it into the Nam Phut Hot Spring. The shop is a simple shop with seating for you to sit and relax. The atmosphere is very nice, not too hot, not too expensive, and there are many menus. I recommend it. When we went, we sat and watched people rowing boats, which was fun. We were excited, lol. The shop is on the walkway to Nam Phut Hot Spring. 📍Address: Nam Phut Hot Spring, Khao Yai 💞Reason for recommendation: Delicious coffee at a good price, not expensive at all 💰Average price per person: 60-80 baht #KhaoYaiTourism #PakChongNamPhutHotShow #KhaoYai #CoffeeShop #Coffee

Very beautiful. The summer weather is still nice, not hot at all. There are a lot of deer. If you come to visit, don't feed them. And don't keep food in the tent or outside. Otherwise, the deer and monkeys will eat it all. For those who go hiking, be careful of leeches. There are a lot of them. Prepare any brand of mosquito repellent spray. Spray when you get bitten by a leech. Don't pull it out. It will bleed a lot. If we spray it continuously, it will stop clinging on itself.

Khao Yai National Park is the first national park in Thailand. It is part of the Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai Forest Complex, which was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. 🌿 Highlights of the tourist attractions 👉 Haew Narok Waterfall: The highest waterfall in the park, more than 150 meters high, is beautiful but the water current is strong. Be careful when visiting. 👉 Haew Suwat Waterfall: A volcanic rock waterfall about 25 meters high, it is a popular photo spot and is easy to get to. 👉 Pha Dio Dai: A beautiful viewpoint on a cliff about 900 meters above sea level, overlooking the mountain range and plains of Prachin Buri Province. 👉 Km.30 Viewpoint: A viewpoint where you can see the sea of ​​fog in the morning and flocks of bats flying out to find food in the evening. 👉 Sai Sorn Reservoir: A beautiful sunset viewing point and a place where wild animals often come to drink water. 🕒 Visiting information Park opening hours: 06:00 - 18:00 hrs.

💰Average price per person: 40 baht per person 💞Reason for recommendation: The rainy season has arrived, so I had the opportunity to come back to Khao Yai for the first time in a year. This time, it rained heavily, everything was green. I even saw a baby barking deer, so cute. The mother and her child ran to hide from the rain nearby. I want everyone to try visiting Khao Yai during the rainy season because it is very refreshing. I recommend going during the holidays because you will see beautiful fog. 🗓️Travel planning: You should come on a holiday because you will see a lot of people. If you drive and don't see any cars, it will be lonely. Hehe #KhaoYai #KhaoYaiNationalPark
