mca Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) I'm off to Khao Yai for a few days next week and wonder if anybody has any accommodation gems that they could recommend in the area. I've stayed there a few times before and have always been fairly disappointed with what you get for your money (like The Greenery Resort). I'm not expecting true 5 star but I'd like something a bit nicer and luxurious than those 2000 plus baht a night rip offs with musty bedrooms, knackered aircon and cold fried eggs/cold hot dog sausages in the breakfast buffet. BTW Kirimaya Resort is a bit more than I want to spend for a quick break although it looks very nice. Even somewhere nearer Korat or Chok Chai would be fine. Cheers.

Matjesill Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Kirimaya is nice - especially if you play golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 I was looking at their prices and they seem a bit steep soihok. Is it worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerlou47 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Juldis resort may be an option for you. You can google for info.

phibunmike Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 We are also going for a few days when the kid finish school. I am looking for not-too-expensive accommodation. preferably a bungalow with two bedrooms, or something like that. Close to hikling trails would be ideal. Also any advice on trails and guides, child-friendly, for wildlife spotting? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for the replies all. phibunmike if you go into the park after dusk and drive to the the restaurant/museum area they do "night safaris" on the backs of converted pickups fitted with spotlights. I did it a few years ago and hopefully they're still running and the price wasn't too bad (I think I negotiated it down to about 200 baht a head but don't quote me on that). It's nothing special but if you've got kids they'll love it out in the open air after dark. Guaranteed to spot herds of deer and possibly elephants but don't get your hopes up for any tigers seeing as there are quite a few of these pick ups darting about.

In my opinion it was a bit steep, but I did,nt use the Spa, the wife said it was very good. If you,re not up for Golf or the Spa then I would suggest look else where.

It's a familial and very friendly little lodge and they have skilful guides. Look at their homepage palmgalo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
