Khao Yai 2-Day Nature Journey: Trekking, Stargazing & wine tour

Overview

Day by day itinerary

1. 1Trek Khao Yai's forests, spot wildlife, enjoy Thai BBQ, wine tasting, and stargaze under dark skies.⌄

   Depart Bangkok and travel into the lush landscapes of Khao Yai National Park. Along the way, stop at Saisook Café, known for its creative ice cream flavours inspired by local wildlife and nature. Begin your exploration with a guided trek along Trail No. 3, where forest paths, open grasslands, and shaded woodland reveal the park's diverse habitats. Learn how to observe the subtle signs of life hidden within the landscape while keeping watch for hornbills, white-handed gibbons, and other wildlife that call the forest home.

   Enjoy lunch at Penlaos, a Michelin Guide restaurant showcasing regional flavours and local ingredients.

   Visit Bo Nam Phut, a crystal-clear natural spring surrounded by peaceful scenery. Take time to relax, explore the area, or simply enjoy the slower rhythm of nature.

   As evening approaches, check in to your boutique resort before enjoying a traditional Thai BBQ dinner (Mookrata), one of Thailand's favourite social dining experiences. Continue to Alcidini Winery for a guided vineyard walk and wine tasting, offering a unique glimpse into Thailand's emerging wine culture.

   Later, experience the beauty of Khao Yai after dark. Using an astronomical telescope, discover constellations, planets, the moon, and, on clear nights, the Milky Way. Far from city lights, the night sky becomes a reminder of the wonder that still exists beyond our everyday routines.
