KHAO YAI
“Khao Yai National Park is a national treasure and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The surrounding region is incredibly diverse and offers no shortage of opportunities for discovery.”
The area is perfect for those who enjoy natural landscapes, tropical waterfalls and encounters with wildlife. It is also an ideal location to relax, with long countryside drives and abundant farm fresh produce and food, art galleries and spas, and a number of world-class golf courses and hillside vineyards. The region has a wild and exciting side too – with extensive bicycle trails, jungle trekking and adrenaline-fueled activities leading the list of Khao Yai attractions.
The Perfect day
Morning
Enjoy a breakfast of international standards and home style Thai cuisine at Somying’s Kitchen. Chat with our chef and learn about the farm-to-table fresh local Khao Yai produce used in every meal. Savour an afternoon tea in the Tea Carriage; an upcycled traincar café overlooking the lake. Walk along the shore and feed the swans and fish.
Afternoon
Set out to explore some of Khao Yai’s wonders. Take a short hike from the park’s main visitor centre to Kong Kaew waterfall, through natural forests full of seasonal flowers and exotic birds. Even spot a rare gibbon, near the falls. On the way to a vineyard tour and wine-tasting, get derailed by wild elephants walking in the road. Spend the last of your afternoon on a Khao Yai art tour; visiting galleries and shopping for local Thai silk.
Evening
Relax with a massage at the spa before dinner, then venture to Poirot for a la carte specials of French cuisine. Then move from one upcycled train carriage to its neighbour, for cocktails at Papillon Bar. Enjoy house specialties and Champagne while listening to a live jazz band.
Destination
Rolling terrain, challenging inclines, fresh air and breathtaking landscape make Khao Yai a cycist’s dream location. An abundance of roads, paths and nature trails also make it accessible for riders of all skill levels. Feel the landscape unfold in this incomparable haven, surrounded by natural wonders.
From train-themed art and works by recognised Thai masters, to Picassos and cathedral architecture – art in the Khao Yai region has a great deal to offer. Pop-up gallery events, local craft projects and our guided tours just make it all the sweeter.
Khao Yai is one of the most fertile regions in South East Asia. The region is ripe with organic farms, rolling vineyards and shady orchards with rare and exotic fresh fruit.
Connect with the natural side of life. Khao Yai remains one of Thailand’s top destinations for a reason. Breathtaking landscapes, picturesque waterfalls and natural encounters with wildlife are simply daily occurrences.
There is no shortage of things to do in Khao Yai. The wild mountain landscapes are a perfect backdrop for thrilling adventures like ziplines, river kayaking and ATVs, planting in the sky and bicycling, hiking and trekking.
Treasure hunts through our botanical groves, bicycle trips to feed wildlife and vegetable farming in an organic garden make InterContinental Khao Yai Resort a kid’s paradise.
For those willing to go deeper and explore further, Old World Italian squares, railroad town night markets and locally produced organic goods are just a few of the treasures which await.
Khao Yai is one of two world class winegrowing regions in Thailand (along with Hua Hin). Our custom tours include grapes plucked fresh off the vines, wine-tastings and bushels of local fruit.
No less than a dozen world-class courses can be found in the lush green rolling hills of the Khao Yai mountain landscape.
