Location and setting
The resort lists its address in Wang Kata, in Pak Chong district, and describes a hilltop position overlooking the Khao Yai countryside. The property says it is around two hours from Bangkok; actual travel time depends on traffic and your route.
Being on a hill brings views and a sense of seclusion, but it also means you will drive to restaurants and to the national park gate. Ask the resort for the current driving time to the park’s northern gate if early wildlife drives are part of your plan.
Villa and room types
The official website lists seven room categories. Detailed sizes and bed configurations are shown on each room page and in the resort’s fact sheet, so check those before booking.

| sala Pool Villa | Villa with private pool |
| sala Pool Villa Onsen | Private pool villa with onsen bathing |

Things to consider before booking
- Deluxe rooms are not pool villas — make sure you book a pool villa category if a private pool matters
- Confirm pool size, whether it is heated, and onsen water temperature for December–January stays
- Check how long the drive is to the park gate and to dinner options if you do not want to eat on site every night
- Weddings and buyouts may affect atmosphere or availability on some dates
Who it suits
Couples looking for a romantic, quiet stay, and small families who want space plus hotel services. Groups of friends can look at the three-bedroom Signature Villa.
Nearby things to do
Pair a stay with a morning in the national park — start at Haew Suwat Waterfall or the Khao Yai viewpoints — and an afternoon at one of the Khao Yai wineries.
