5* Thailand national park stay
InterContinental Khao Yai Resort, an IHG Hotel, Thailand
Time-limited
Property details
- On the right track: Though a train never officially ran through here, the InterContinental Khao Yai Resort has a charming locomotive theme. The five-star hotel, designed by Bangkok-dwelling hotel guru Bill Bensley, is made up of upcycled former railcars rescued from scrapyards and given a new lease of life: you can eat, sleep and be massaged in vintage carriages, each one more characterful than the last.
- Jungle setting: The hotel’s not limited to one building, but rather spread out around a fabulously lush and leafy area of former farmland. Somying’s Kitchen is a diner-style restaurant with a Thai-international fusion, while Poirot is set in a revamped railcar by the lake, serving up French bistro-style dishes and cocktails from the bar next door, Papillon. Even the spa is set within a former rail cart nestled in the roots of an old ficus tree.
- Locomotive lodgings: Hotel rooms are set within a charming building overlooking the lake and are modelled on old train cabins, while each quirky suite is a recycled train carriage tucked away in a quiet corner of the resort, with luxe additions like marble shower rooms and full-size Byredo bath amenities. More spacious villas have lounges, dining areas and Victorian-era bathtubs.
How to get there
Khao Yai National Park is popular as a weekend break from Bangkok – the capital city, and its international airport, is about a three-hour drive away. With advance notice the hotel can arrange a shuttle service for an extra charge, and there’s plenty of parking if you’d rather hire a car, which will give you privileged access to the national park.
Entry requirements
The passport, visa and health requirements at the time of booking can be viewed on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for UK citizens, and on the Department of Foreign Affairs website for IE citizens. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel. Please also be sure to check the validity of your passport and allow up to 10 weeks for passport renewals.

Once you’re fully replenished by the hotel’s spa, head out to explore with a guide to learn about the local wildlife, take a hike – there are options from gentle strolls to strenuous mountain treks – and spot sambar deer, hornbills and macaques, and keep eyes peeled for lumbering elephants at dawn and dusk.
