10 Things to Do in Khao Yai

Ready, Set, Go! 

Khao Yai is magical—there’s no doubt about that. Venture into the heart of nature. Eat, play, drink, work–you decide how you want to rediscover yourself. 

Healing in The Forest 

A straight steep road to entrance to Khao Yai national Park to see the beauty of the tropical forest in Khao Yai National Park. UNESCO World Heritage Area, Unseen Thailand.

We chose Khao Yai as our home for a reason: its lush, green environment. Whether you’re planning to go hiking, trekking, or forest bathing, this natural wonderland is pretty perfect. Visit our team at the front desk to know your options and to learn more about the different routes you can take through the forest. 

Horse Riding 

Spending your holiday riding a horse through the countryside does sound dreamy. Khao Yai is home to a few stables and horse riding schools that can fulfill your fantasy of trotting along picturesque meadows and rolling hills atop a beautiful steed. Try Ride Journey (083-598-9997), OK Corral (089-717-4041), or Rancho Charnvee (044-756-210). 

Some Fun for The Family?

We take fun seriously and so does Thong Somboon Club. They have something for everyone in the family, from laser tag to go karting to ziplining at Rapsodia Park Khao Yai (062-595-3512).  

Get Inspired by Art

Earth without art is just eh. Khao Yai’s arts and culture scene is diverse and inviting. Drop by some of our favorite galleries and creative spaces including Secret Art Garden, Villa Musée, 129 Art Museum, and Khao Yai Art Museum. 

For The Love of Food

The extensive list of restaurants in Khao Yai will leave you spoiled for choice. Enjoy the local cuisine or try our top picks, who offer special discounts for Marascan members. 

But First, Coffee

Seek the vibe you want and sip that cup of joe, whether you’re out cafe-hopping or just checking your emails. Drop by top hits like The Birder’s Lodge, Khaam, Yellow Submarine, Klang Pa, Like a Mountain, or Banyakart Khaoyai. 

Wine Down  

Fine wines and long lunches overlooking the vineyard are quite rewarding. Just less than a 10-minute drive from our resort are some of the country’s most acclaimed wineries, including PB Valley and GranMonte. 

How about a Bike Ride?

Cycling enthusiasts can grab the bike parked in their villa and explore the area. Ask us for recommended routes, breathe in the fresh air, and ride on.

Night Safari

Home to many nocturnal animals like viverridae, owls, and elephants; Khao Yai National Park offers a night in the jungle, with prices starting from B600 per vehicle (up to 10 people) for about an hour. Just make sure you book in advance through 086-092-6529.

Marvel at The Stars

Get a closer look at the stars using the telescope in your room or join us at Stardeck, where you can lounge and unwind with a glass of wine or an amazing cocktail. Swirl, sip, stargaze. (Did we mention that Marasca is an official stargazing location recommended by the Dark Sky project?
