3 Best Day Trips From Bangkok

"Set on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding valleys of Khao Yai, Sala Khaoyai is a stunning little number of a luxury hotel in an area otherwise lacking in glam accommodations. The views are superb, and so is the quietness, no doubt aided by the fact that there are just seven private rooms and pool villas. Guests wake up to the chirping of birds here, and nothing else. The overall vibe feels like a remote and private hideaway that’s close to nature to seek ethereal isolation, yet kitted out with all the comforts of a five-star property—infinity pool included. Because this is such a small property, Sala Khaoyai almost feels an exclusive Goop-inspired wellness party. The guest list? A multinational crew of discerning travelers who appreciate nature and silence, ones trying to reconnect with themselves without sacrificing comfort." - Marianna Cerini
