Discover pool villa resorts in Khao Yai

Siam Stay Guide is an English-language guide to Thailand’s most rewarding stays, starting with Khao Yai: the cool, green plateau around Thailand’s first national park, about three hours from Bangkok.

A pool villa resort here gives you the privacy of your own home, with a pool that’s yours alone, a terrace facing the hills and hotel service on hand, all within reach of waterfalls, wildlife, vineyards and a remarkable food scene. Our guides explain how pool villas work in Khao Yai, which areas suit which travellers, and what to check before you book. Every property we feature has been checked against official information, and we never publish invented reviews or ratings.
