Vast wine valleys, beautiful flower fields and iconic Hobbit houses — nope, this isn’t New Zealand, but Khao Yai💖
Khao Yai is a charming town in Thailand only a 3-hour drive away from Bangkok. But perhaps the real charm is it’s air-con weather (certain periods of the year)! Temperatures average around mid-20°C in the day, and 10°C at night between November to February. This makes it perfect for glamping (AKA camping in a tent luxuriously) while surrounded by mountain views!
Read on for our top accommodation picks to make your glamping experience in Khao Yai one you’ll never forget.
*Note: The listing is ranked by the best value for money in terms of location and facilities offered!
1) Lala Mukha Tented Resort Khao Yai

Hidden among the lush grasslands on the outskirts of Khao Yai National Park, Lala Mukha Tented Resort is an eco-friendly accommodation that feels like you’re on an African safari (without the lions) 🦁 Psst, you can spot wild birds here like the Oriental Pied Hornbill during the hot seasons of March and April!
Fun fact: The staff are also trained and knowledgeable in teaching tourists how to care for, and conserve the environment without disturbing the natural landscape.

Stay in a deluxe safari tent with animal-themed murals, or a larger deluxe signature tent, with a more chic and modern look. And if you’re with a big group of family or friends, the loft tree house has two bedrooms and one living room (fits up to four pax) — with a terrace that’ll give you a bird’s eye view of the landscape!
Other facilities here include an outdoor infinity pool overlooking the lake and limestone mountains, as well as an amphitheatre where you can relax around a bonfire or go star-gazing.
Cost: From ~S$194/night (up to 2 pax)

Compared to other dome hotels in Khao Yai, the tents at Oh La La Glamping may seem pretty small at around 15sqm. But it still fulfills all your basic needs (bed, hairdryer, air-con, Wi-Fi).

Plus, this gives you all the more reason to explore the outdoors! Set up a picnic with your friends, try painting the beautiful scenery on a canvas, or watch a movie under the stars.

The resort is also 100% pet-friendly! While you can’t possibly bring your furbabies overseas (or can you? 🤔), socialise a little and greet your dome neighbours — you just might meet some locals who are on holiday with their adorable pets.

Honestly, you won’t feel like you’re in the wild at The Wild Khao Yai (pun defo intended :P). Built on a huge plot of land (60,000sqm), there are plenty of activities to do here like working out at the gym, getting in-room massages, paddle boarding, go-karting, and even archery!

As for room options, the Panoramic Double Room has custom-made tarps over each tent to prevent rain or sunrays from ruining your glamping experience ✨ If you’re coming with a big group of family or friends, the Family Room can accommodate up to 24 people — complete with a patio, outdoor dining area, and shared bathroom!

4) Glamping Hill Khaoyai

Glamp with style — either in a traditional tent or futuristic dome at Glamping Hill Khaoyai!
The tents are pretty simple, with a bed and lounge chairs provided. So I’d personally recommend trying out the domes instead. There are three types to choose from: Dome Garden, Geodesic Dome and Dome Family. All come with a private bathroom (unlike the tents 🙊) and you’ll get a pretty sweet view of your surroundings.

The Dome Garden is a small standard room with two single beds, the Geodesic Dome is slightly larger with a double bed and TV, while the Dome Family is the biggest — it can fit two king-sized beds and you’ll even have your own living room and kitchen!
Cost: From ~S$52/night (up to 2 pax)
How to get there: 15min drive from Khao Yai National Park (Google Maps)
5) Piromrat Valley Khaoyai

The rooms at Piromrat Valley Khaoyai are a blend between a tent and a rustic cabin in the woods — making it a little different from your usual glamping experience! Choose between a garden view or lake view — the latter has an outdoor wooden bathtub overlooking the forest 🙈
Photo credit: Piromrat Khaoyai via Facebook
Piromat Valley is quite secluded so there aren’t many attractions in the area, but here are some within a 30-minute drive: Khao Yai National Park, Villa Musée, Khao Yai Art Museum and Khao Yai Speedkart.
Cost: From ~S$99/night (up to 2 pax)
How to get there: 22min drive from Khao Yai Art Museum (Google Maps)
6) Athena Glamping Khaoyai

Athena Glamping Khaoyai is classy and beautiful — just like the Greek goddess herself 👀
If you prefer something simple, go for the basic luxury tents. If not, upgrade to the dome options where you get a personal bathroom equipped with a shower and a hairdryer!

Explore the area by walking across the lake via the suspension bridge and take loads of scenic photos!
