About InterContinental Khao Yai Resort
Tucked into the forested hills near Khao Yai National Park, InterContinental Khao Yai Resort is a destination where heritage and imagination meet. Conceptualised by acclaimed architect and designer Bill Bensley, the resort draws inspiration from Thailand’s golden age of railway travel during King Rama V’s reign. Spread across lush lakes, towering trees, and rolling landscapes, this luxurious retreat transforms vintage train carriages into whimsical suites and villas, creating a unique escape that blends colonial charm with modern sophistication.
Just 2.5 to 3 hours from Bangkok by car, the resort is easily accessible while feeling blissfully secluded. Whether arriving by private transfer or train, the journey sets the tone for an experience that’s anything but ordinary. Guests are welcomed into a world where the romance of travel lives on—complete with upcycled railcars, refined dining, and immersive adventures tailored by a dedicated Concierge team.
Each of the InterContinental Khao Yai’s 64 rooms, suites, and villas is designed to reflect the spirit of old-world elegance and discovery. From the garden-facing Classic Rooms to the pool-equipped Heritage Railcar Villas, every space is thoughtfully appointed with indulgent amenities and bespoke details. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family, or simply in search of solitude, each accommodation offers a luxurious retreat wrapped in the sounds and scents of nature.
Dining at InterContinental Khao Yai is a journey in itself. From the refined, railway-inspired elegance of Poirot to the laidback, locally infused Thai dishes at Somying’s Kitchen, the resort’s six venues offer culinary experiences that span cultures and moods. Sip French cocktails in Papillon—set inside a restored train carriage—or enjoy an afternoon tea in the Tea Carriage, where classic recipes meet modern flair under soft, filtered light. For poolside indulgence, the Pool Bar delivers refreshing drinks and snacks with serene lake views.
Wellness takes centre stage at Back on Track Spa, a tranquil sanctuary set inside an upcycled railcar. Here, traditional Thai therapies meet contemporary techniques, delivered by skilled practitioners using organic, locally sourced products. Daily yoga, meditation, and wellness masterclasses led by in-residence healers offer guests a chance to restore body and spirit amid the surrounding greenery.
Families and couples alike will find plenty to explore. Younger guests can enjoy the fun and discovery of the Kid’s Club, complete with bike tours, vegetable farming, and treasure hunts, while adults might venture out with wilderness guides or take part in culinary tours and local experiences. The resort’s Concierge Guide acts as your personal connection to the region, curating bespoke adventures and dining experiences with insider knowledge and thoughtful care.
