  • Village Farm Winery (just off Highway 304 at Wang Nam Kheao) tel. +66 (0) 44228407 [1]. This winery / bed & breakfast is situated amongst the rolling hills just next to Khao Yai National Forest and is designed to be natural getaway. Rooms start at 2000 baht for a dorm style room and 3800 baht for a room with private bathroom. Dinner with wine, breakfast, and a wine tasting are included. Because of the height above sea level, the area is cooler than normal. The Village Farm is a great place for a romantic or family weekend away from the rush, but you may want to look elsewhere if you are looking for a wide range of activities.

Do

While it's not a resort town, there are plenty of things to do, including:

  • "The Mall" - a huge shopping mall with a quite beautiful waterfall theme.
  • An excellent waterslide park with an Olympic-sized pool, great to do some laps and stay in shape.
  • A landscaped jogging park near the military base.
  • Several Thai discos and massage parlors.
  • A cinema and bowling alley, and other amenities such as an excellent modern intenet cafe for 20 baht/hour.
