February 2014 saw the opening of Escape Khao Yai, set amid the greenery on Padsuk-Goodkla Road, 15km from Khao Yai National Park and just a two-hour drive from Bangkok. Consisting of 48 deluxe rooms and six pool villas, Escape Khao Yai offers contemporary designed rooms under four decorative themes: wood, earth, floral and forest. Rates per night start from B2,700 ($108) for a deluxe room and B4,200 ($168) for a pool villa and includes a late breakfast until 2pm. While you are there, dine at its Green Oak restaurant, which offers Thai and Western dishes under a farm-to-table concept focusing on the use of healthy ingredients like organic vegetables grown at the resort.
