travellife Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have been to the tourist places in Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, etc). I would like to drive from Bangkok and visit a new place. It would be interesting to visit scenic places like a lake or mountain. Someone mentioned the Nakhon Ratchasima area (4.5 hours by car) has some interesting places to visit. Anyone recommending this place or another place? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yep, if not Nakorn have a look in the Kan region... a good option within 4 hours. Sai Yok NP is nice and Erawan Falls and Hellfire Pass are also not far away. You could stop in the town to see the Kwai Bridge on the way up, do the national park or see the falls or the Pass, and then loop back through Ayuthaya (via the 324).

travellife Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Khao Yai national park Is Khao Yai as nice as it looks online? Any recommendation on where to stay (preferably a guest house or hotel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurhappy Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Khao Yai national park Is Khao Yai as nice as it looks online? Any recommendation on where to stay (preferably a guest house or hotel). A couple of weeks ago we travelled through Khao Yai on the 3077 road south to north. After leaving the north exit/entrance and heading towards Pak Chong you will find many resorts, hotels and guest houses. We chose one called InKhaoYai/the bakery coffee shop. It's fairly new, has adequate sized bungalows with a/c & european b/rooms. 1200 baht per night including b/f. There are plenty of places to eat and drink but at this time of year it was fairly quiet. It was Friday night though and at a bar called "Cowboy City" there was a Thai group playing some good music. Don't know if they play every night.
