InterContinental Khao Yai Resort
I chose InterContinental Khao Yai Resort as my accommodation because I wanted to fully enjoy the feeling of relaxation and was also very curious about the unique architecture here. InterContinental Khao Yai Resort is the real train cars that the hotel bought from the Government and spent more than 6 years to build a complete resort as it is today. The designer of this resort is Bill Bensley, who also designed many famous resorts such as InterContinental Danang, JW Marriott Phu Quoc or MGallery in Sapa.
InterContinental Khao Yai Resort is actually a real train car that the hotel bought from the Government and spent more than 6 years to build a complete resort as it is today.
The architecture in the train cars is designed to be extremely eye-catching, making me exclaim with many surprises as soon as I entered the room. The ceiling is also lined with fabric and designed with extremely detailed patterns, so it can be said that just looking at any point will immediately impress you with the architecture before your eyes. The train cars here are connected to each other and can be connected if desired, so this will also be an ideal place for families to come and relax together.
InterContinental is a resort that is always highly rated for its 5-star hotel services and this time they did not disappoint me in any way from the service, to the space as well as the dishes at the restaurant. While enjoying my favorite Thai dishes, I also looked out the window at the magical night scene, there is nothing more I could ask for on the first night in Khao Yai, right?

Surrounding the resort are very peaceful scenes, waking up in the morning I walked around InterContinental to explore other areas of the resort. Right next to this is the Thai national park so that is a plus to attract families to come to relax, in addition there is also a spa and kids club which are also very carefully designed, with high investment.
Cafe tour in Khao Yai, how much is enough?
Continuing my journey to explore “Miniature Europe”, I took advantage of my morning to visit the local cafes, just about 5 minutes drive from the resort. The first stop to enjoy a cup of morning coffee in Khao Yai is Olna & Py, a cafe that brings a gentle and peaceful feeling, just lift up the camera and you will have a beautiful photo.

The second cafe is Tellus Cafe, which has a view from afar like a small house on a green prairie. Not only that, this place also has a beautiful camping area and many virtual living corners. If you have the opportunity to set foot in Khao Yai, you must definitely take a "cafe tour" to explore all the super beautiful cafes here.

Chokchai Farm - the best 100 bath experience in Khao Yai
With only 100 baht (about 68,000 VND), I continued my journey to Khao Yai with Chokchai Farm. In my imagination, Chokchai is like a small valley. I was completely free here, enjoying the moment of admiring the flowers, enjoying the first time admiring the 12 white versions of the zodiac and being amazed by the extremely peaceful scenery of the animal-free area.

Not wanting to miss any opportunity, I quickly rented a car to take pictures at the flower field. From afar, I could see the whole area of bright purple lavender flowers, blending with the surrounding scenery, giving me the feeling of a miniature Europe. With only 100 baht, I could wander around here and explore all day, and take many beautiful photos to bring back, wasn’t that a bargain?
Primo Piazza - a real miniature Europe
When you come here, don't forget to bring your camera, because just lift it up and you will have beautiful photos to take home. This area is also chosen by many couples as a wedding photo shoot location, so those who are having a headache finding a beautiful place like Europe in Thailand to capture the moment, try considering Primo Piazza.

Khao Yai is peaceful until the end of the day
What better way to end a day exploring the peaceful Khao Yai than to enjoy a quality afternoon tea right at the resort? And I did not miss that opportunity, soaking in the afternoon sunlight through the train window, sipping tea and cakes that were prepared, what a beautiful way to end a day here.

If you go to Khao Yai, I think you should spend 2-3 days to explore more interesting places such as restaurants, cafes or other beautiful destinations. A peaceful Khao Yai next to the busy, noisy cities, gives you more time to connect with yourself and really let them rest. Will you come?
3 notes from Quang Vinh passport for a complete journey to discover miniature Europe
The low season is summer from June to October, when it rains a lot. But in return, the price is quite cheap and the tourist attractions will not be overcrowded. The best time for you to visit Khao Yai is from November to May of the following year. Especially from November to January is the peak tourist season in Khao Yai, because this season the Saraburi sunflower field and Jim Thompson farm will open, there is also a very interesting strawberry picking activity.
You should book a car in advance because the means of transport here are not operating regularly for tourists, you should prepare in advance so that the trip is not interrupted. Also, do not forget to bring a camera to record the beautiful scenes and special memories here.
