Visiting Khao Yai for the FIRST TIME! (Road trip + What to do)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.พ. 2023
- I can't believe Khao Yai is a 3 hour drive from Bangkok! It was so great to see a completely different side of Thailand so close to the bustling capital city, try lots of great food and stay at a very cool, hotel. I'm always blown away by how much Thailand has to offer.

Just want to say thank you.... I publish these videos on Sunday evening and the first thing I do when I wake up on Monday morning is grab my phone, open up the TH-cam Studio app and read your comments. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. You'll never know how much it means to me to see what you've written, hear what you enjoyed about the video, the things you spotted throughout, the stuff you do and don't want to try and how the video made you feel. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, kind and supportive community of amazing people here. Please know how much I adore and appreciate you. If you ever find yourself looking forward to watching the next video, just know I'm looking forward to reading your next comment JUST as much (probably more). Phoebe x
Hi Phoebe, please keep posting such lovely videos, we do really enjoy and feels that we are also roaming with you virtually.
Thanks
This is another reason I comment on every single video I watched! Much love from the Netherlands, soon to be in Australia. As the song says “I still call Australia home”. Looking forward to visit YOUR country once again 🤩. Keep posting these great video’s!
มีโอกาสลองมาเที่ยวเชียงใหม่ด้วยนะครับ😊
I am very happy that you like Thailand and Thai people. Hope you enjoy all the trip in Thailand. Sawasdee 😁😊
Wow beautiful girls have a nice trip in Thailand.🍉🥭🍞🌭🥪🌮🍗🥩🍲🥘🍳🍳
I am half Thai. I visit Thailand every year. I found your channel awhile back because of Thailand. I LOVE Thailand! lol. You are doing an incredible job on your solo Traveling. The music the editing is spot on and unique to your kind of style, I love it. Last time I was in khao Yai we stayed at Lala Mukha Glamping tent and tree house resort. It was super expensive but worth it. My uncle and I stayed in the tent which was amazing, had bathroom living room and bedrooms lol. My mom and aunt and all the girl cousins stayed in the amazing tree house. My uncle was teasing me saying if I was going to snore loud the wild elephants will come down and trample our tent LOL. I cant wait to get back in April for Songkran!
Are you kidding me?! I just googled that place... WOW those tents are amazing. What a great experience! I don't love camping but I DO love glamping haha Thanks so much for sharing :)
Khao Yai is very popular among Thai people since it's not far from Bangkok. There're many beautiful resorts, restaurants, Cafes, Vineyards and many places to visit around this area of Nakornratchasrima province. I hope you have more time to explore.
I can absolutely see why! It's crazy to me you can drive three hours from BKK and feel like you're in another country. I had no idea it would be THAT beautiful
Harriet and I have been to Thailand several times. Never been to Khao Yai. This Park we missed. What a hidden gem! So good. Phoebe , you did such a great job with the video footage and the
musical score. The pace was just right . Harriet and I are so happy for you that you enjoyed yourself. This destination is on our bucket list. A big shout out to Nan. We will check her out.
Sending you much love❤ from your most loyal fans. Harriet, Jim and Yuki P.S. Hope you like the picture we sent.
Okay, I FINALLY found a place you two haven't been to haha it took a while but I got one! :) Thank you so much for the lovely comment and so happy you enjoyed this video so much. Sending the three of you lots of love xx
Because we dont promote to foreign tourist 🤣. You will surprise. The weather is better than Chiang Mai. Mostly Thai nations love to gathering there 🤣 Beware of wild animals.
Khaoyai is huge it depends on where you enter. Pakchong is a famous weekend destination among middle-class locals, especially from Bangkok not because of the national park itself since most people have been there, I can't think of any Thai who haven't been to Khaoyai already the question would be how many times have you been to Khaoyai instead. The national park isn't what people like to visit again and again, but the resorts and facilities around it are the magnets, there are many nice scenic resorts around Khaoyai, that could be the destination of their own such as fake Italy one, I've been to Toscana, the one in Khaoyai is look as good as real. Another cheaper destination located on the other side of Pakchong Khaoyai is Nakhon Nayok this one is famous among budget travelers with lower-end facilities but it got what Pakchong doesn't have which is cruising on the dam and rafting on the river.
Phoebe loving this Thailand series! You stay in some of the most beautiful hotels and resorts…definitely my vibe! I love the concept of the Intercontinental resort…so fun yet luxurious!
I am all for nature and a good cafe. Khao Yai really is on my radar now…thank you! ❤
I know, I'm so blessed - the hotels I've gotten to experience have just been amazing! This one... the gardens... WOAH! And I'm obsessed with train travel haha so it was perfect for me :) Glad I could get Khao Yai on your radar - I had never even heard of it until this trip :)
This place looks amazing!! Definitely on my list to visit next. And great video as always!! 😊
Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏼 Glad Khao Yai could make your list! I had never heard of it until this trip 😂♥️
Loved this video! I love nature, hiking and coffee shops. I've added it to my long travel bucket list.
Okay, well then THIS place is perfect for you :) An absolute dream! Thank you so much for watching xx
Lovely video Phoebe. Love your positive spirit and sense of adventure. Keep up the great work xx
Thanks so much! 😊 I really appreciate it! Honestly brightens my day to read your comment ✨🥰
I absolutely love your channel and every one of your videos makes my day a little better ♡ I'm especially excited for every new realease because you often cover australia/south east asia which is an area of the world I can not wait to discover. Moving into the Brisbane area at the end of this year and your videos have shed such a beautiful light on that area and I can not wait to be there. Hugs and kisses from Scotland!
You're an absolute angel - thank you so much :) You've no idea how much it fills my heart with to read your comment and know you're loving the videos! I was editing the new episode yesterday and started overthinking it so I stopped for the day... now I've woken up and read your message I am FILLED with confidence again! Back to editing :) THANK YOU for starting my week off so wonderfully xx
I dont know why I am saying this but this video made me smile even after a good day already. Keep up the good work. These videos are so relaxing and I genuinely appreciate them soo much thank you for doing this.
Oh my gosh :) I can't tell you how that makes me feel! I was having a little self doubt yesterday editing the new episode for next week, comparing myself to others in my head and worrying my videos aren't 'loud' or 'high energy' enough and then I read your comment and just... I am so full of confidence again :) Thank you x
@@travelforphoebe I am so grateful i could help you in some way
Enjoy and safe travels! So glad you’re feeling better.
Thank you so much! I really am! :) Have a great day xx
Thailand is on another level. Like summer Sunday everyday, all year round.
Thanks so much for watching 🥰🙏🏼
First time here. You're the first foreign youtuber I've seen to present this side of Thailand this beautifully! Will be following you for more!
So glad you found my channel 🥰✨🙏🏼 thank you
Phoebe I am so glad you are back to yourself. You are a gem. You've really grown since the beginning of your journey. Keep it up, you are strong and courageous. So happy you are back in Thailand! My fiancé and I are officially going in June to start our teaching journey. These videos give me so much inspiration on what to do when we get there. Got myself a camera set up to start vlogging when we get out there. Thank you so much for all you do.
Oh thank you so much, I'm so happy you're seeing the confidence grow... I feel like a different person to the one who was so nervous that day at the Gold Coast Airport. The decision to push myself out of the familiar has been a very good one :) YES! Get a camera and get started!!! You got this!
@Little Grey Box I got the camera, very excited about it. Got the joby tripod you recommended coming from amazon. Do u use any special filters or extra lenses with your camera? Or just the simple kit stuff?
That is sooo exciting! Which camera did you go with? Did you get a microphone too? No fancy lenses at the moment as I often don’t have time to change them so I go for what’s light and versatile. I just use the standard lens my Z30 came with at the moment 😊
@Little Grey Box I got a mirrorless canon. Yes I got a mic. Thanks for the advice. Maybe one day I'll be as good as you 😊
Awesome video! I am headed to Thailand for the first time next month. Anyway…enjoyed your video! Keep up the good work!
First time?! You are gonna LOVE it! Make sure you pack loose fitting clothes cos you are going to FEAST 😂🙌🏻
You seem like such a fun person to travel with. Always have good vibes ❤
Thank you so much!!
You are the best youtuber. You covered areas in Thailand no one did before.
Keep going.....
Good job.
Oh my gosh 🥹🥰 thank you so much 🙌🏻
Very excited for this, Thailand is one the best countries to travel🤩 and the hotel you stayed at is just amazing🥹
I LOVE THAILAND sooo much! It's such a happy place to be :) I knowwww, how stunning is the hotel?! The gardens blew me away.
The hotal you are staying at looks awesome.
Glad you think so too! I love the gardens so much 🌿♥️
It is very wonderful place. Thank you so much.
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love most of your music selections. Good info.
Bloody hell woman you at it again. Another great VLOG and glad to see you sooooooo bubbly
oh my gosh.... THANK YOUUUU! I can't tell you how much it means to me to wake up in the morning and get to read a comment like this. Just fills my whole day with goodness!
The landscape is glorious!
I couldn’t get over the gardens at the hotel! You could spend the whole time there and be very happy 😊
wow can't believe this is a solo travel video! the editing is so good the music is so good cinematography is awesome also you are a very good at speaking so your video is incredible.
🥹🙏🏼 you’ve no idea how much I appreciate your comment. Thank you so much 🥰
I love your videos! Im obsessed with Thailand myself, only 3 weeks until I fly back for my 4th visit in the last 8 months hahaha. So glad I've found this channel ☺️
🥰🙏🏼 I’m so glad you found my channel too and sooo happy to hear you love the videos. Wow okay you really do love Thailand haha that’s a LOT of visits 😆👏🏻
@@travelforphoebe I work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off in WA, and it's literally cheaper most swings for me to fly return to Thailand than to SA 😂 not a bad problem to have though 🤷
After watching your South Africa travel vlog that is my next destination sorted for the 2nd half of the year ☺️ ✅
That was so cool that you met up with a guide who you knew. What are the odds? That place you stayed at looked amazing. Making me want to book a vacation very soon. As always keep up the awesome job. I always enjoy spending 20 plus minutes every week following your adventures.
The odds were very high as I requested her ;) hahaha Nam is the most amazing guide, I was so excited to have a chance to see her again and have her show me around. Thank you so much for watching week after week - it has a huge impact on the growth of the channel!! TH-cam's algorithms notice that kind of thing so, thank you :D so helpful!
What a beautiful place! I loved seeing that wildlife reserve. Just my type of day out. That hotel looks sectacular too. Another great watch!
Me too! It was so cool being able to drive around in there and see all the animals. I'd love to go back and try to see the elephants :)
Hello Phoebe! Thailand is indeed so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Love you too... Phoebe 💗❤️💗❤️ Looking forward to your next video 😘
Thank you so much! LOVE YOU!
Love to see you comeback to Thailand again after 3 years. Have a happy all the time you lived in thailand.
Great memory :) It feels like I never left... it just makes me so happy to be back! The food, the people, the sights... I'm obsessed :)
Phoebe is back!! And so is the appetite 🤣 Another great vlog 👏🏼 To think you were nervous about doing it all on your own in the beginning!
Oh it is BACK alright! 😂🙏🏼 I was just thinking that… how wild it is to think how nervous I felt all those weeks ago and now ✨🥰
YOU FINALLY REUNITED WITH YOUR THAI GUIDE!!!❤❤❤❤
Yessss!!! Can you feel the joy from both of us?! hahaha it was like no time had passed :)
You continue to inspire, Phoebe. Inspire us to get out there and join you on your adventures. Get out there and have new experiences. Be brave and overcome our social anxieties and discover who we are and what we are capable of, just as you are doing. And, just as you did, inspire us to go get “Hot and Fresh Now” donuts from Krispy Kreme! (Which I may or may not have done before I watched again 😊). What an absolutely incredible part of Thailand we got to see through your eyes. Looking forward to “our” next adventures, wherever you take us.
I honestly feel like a different person to the one who was so anxious in the airport on the Gold Cost and the one having those panic attacks in Uluwatu at the start of the trip. Deciding to push through and do all this by myself has changed my life in so many ways :) Thank you so much for being part of all this with me and watching every week. I can't tell you how much it means to wake up and have your comments waiting for me. It's amazing :)
I'm non stop watching your video. Keep sharing, love you 🥰
Thank you SO SO MUCH :)
Thailand has many places to visit. Thank you for letting us take a video for us to see.
So true 🙏🏼🥰 thank you for watching!
Spectacular mountain scenery. I loved it too. ❤️
So happy you enjoyed watching this one :) Have a great week. Phoebe x
Thanks for the great trip!
So glad you enjoyed it :)
Looks like such a great place to visit. Definitely adding some Thai NP’s to our bucket list now ❤
Yesss it’s very you guys!! 🥰🙏🏼
ว้าว...คุณกลับมาแล้ว💞💞💞
I am!! 🥰🙏🏼
Wow never been to Khoa Yai but it will definitely be on our list of places to visit when we move back out in May 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh amazing! I hope you have a great visit. I'd never heard of it before - so glad I got to see a new part of Thailand. I'm always blown away by how much there is to see and do!
Hiya! Thanks for sharing this beautiful place with us. I haven’t seen much from Asia apart from Seoul, Tokyo and Kyoto. You really seem to come to rest over there. And that National Park is just insanely gorgeous with that mountainous terrain 😮. Haha I like your “oh deer” pun 😂. Those hotel beds always look so perfect 👌. I’m curious to your Thai coffee, looks so good. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to visiting Australia and road tripping from Adelaide to Perth starting next week. Have an amazing week ahead 🤙
I am sooo excited for your road trip Felix!! Please come back to the comments somewhere and let me know all about it! I hope you have the BEST time 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve been amazingly impressed so much enticing, whoa 😮 👏🏻👋🏻
I'm so glad!
💥👍👊🏻❤️
Welcome to thailand🎉
Thanks for the video. I will be visiting khao yai next month. Btw, god did not take any short cut on you. You are gorgeous!
Welcome back
Thank you 🥰✨🙏🏼
So proud that you love my country.
🥰 I adore it!
I am Thai ,and just randomly see your channel. I love the way you explore the new places that is not so popular for the foreign tourists.However this is the way the local traveling in Thailand ,we avoid going to the crowned places from them 😂.
Enjoy travelling and show the new places 🎉👍
Thank you so much!! Yes, I was the ONLY tourist out there that I saw haha it was so cool to be travelling like a local :)
Enjoying this trip 🌸🌸🌸
Thank you! I’m really glad to hear it 🥰 and…. FIRST COMMENT! 😍♥️
😍😍😍
✨🌿♥️
The beach movie Leonardo DiCaprio and his companions jump from waterfalls. This scene was shot at the Haew Suwat Waterfall
No way!! I’m gonna Google that 🥰😍🌿
How lovely you are. So much enjoy with your video.
You are so kind - THANK YOU :)
Everybody needs a Nam to bring them doughnuts!
More doggo's! None with eyebrows but we did get a sleepy pup and a googly eyed little baby 😃
I loved the music choice and how seamlessly you sync it to the visuals. That montage at 05.20 was super clean, I loved the sense of progression and time passing on a dreamy walk through a summer paradise. The beat/footage sync on the montage at 17.17 was perfection!
Also that shot where you acknowledge that yes, nature is a thing thats happening and it's wonderful, but BREAKFAST! That spoke to me on every level.
I had a bunch of dead air at the end of the video from 22.40 to 24.26. If thats actually there and not just a fault on my end then you can edit it out using the TH-cam video editor. It allows you to make small changes without losing views or having to reupload.
Thanks again for the amazing video and a chance for me to leave my house in Australia and go to exotic places 🙂
Yesss, Nam makes the magic happen! She’s the best guide ♥️🥰
OMG! Great catch on the dead air, thank you so much for catching it and the tip on how to fix without losing any views etc. My mushy post-edit brain must not have cut the end properly 🙏🏼😆 appreciate the help!
Soooo stoked you noticed the extra effort I put into getting everything synced this week 🥰🙌🏻
@@travelforphoebe oh yeah it's a super easy thing to do. I once edited a batch of corporate reels/shorts for a very prominent business man and left placeholder b roll in the final edit 🙄
Edit brain is a very real illness that only a walk to the nearby cafe can cure. In fact, I'm going to do that now!
Looking forward to the next video 🙂
excellent work
Thank you ♥️🥰🙏🏼
Have a nice trip to Thailand
Thanks for watching 🥰🙏🏼
it is the place once in a lifetime must visit
Absolutely!!! It’s sooo beautiful! 🥰
oooohh, I also want to do a café tour.....loved it! Never thought about doing one, but NOW - yes!
I´ve been to Brazil, Australia, USA, but never to Thailand..... I´m now planning a trip to pass through Thailand and Singapore on my second trip to Australia in 2024.
It´s a must now, thanks to you, Phoebe! You are an inspiration! Sending some snowflakes to you! 🌨❄☃ Take care! 🧡
hahaha when you're in your 30's it stops being a pub crawl and starts being a cafe crawl ;) Happy planning! You're going to have the most wonderful time on your trip. I have a few more Thailand videos coming your way! Hopefully, lots more inspo in them for you x
Enjoyed with you today
Thank you so much :) have a great day x
Looking good 🔥 phoebe..

Just came across your channel now for the 1st time. Loved this video. Actually I believe the waterfall you visited here in Khao Yai was one of the set locations from the movie, The Beach.
I’m so glad you found my channel 🥰🙏🏼 thanks for watching. Damn I wish I’d known that before I visited 🫢
ยินดีต้อนรับครับ เที่ยวให้สนุกครับ
🥰🙏🏼
Wellcome form Thailand 🇹🇭

Omg Nam is so sweet 😍
Right?! She’s the best!! 🥰♥️
❤ awesome
Welcome to Thailand and of course to KhaoYai, normally Khaoyai is vacational rest of Bangkokians because it is nice weather and beautiful environment and not far from Bangkok. Hope you enjoy and getting nice condition impressive nature to your life. Have a good trip and take care ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏼
Hey there! 🌟 Super excited to announce that I'm definitely planning to visit that spot in 2024 for one of my upcoming videos! 🎥✈ Can't wait to capture all the amazing moments and share the adventure with you all! 🌍🤩
I'm very glad to have taken care you and you like coffee with oat milk, avocado toast . I hope you enjoy at Somying restuarant and Intercontinental Khao Yai.
I hope to take care you agian when you come back.
Hello!! Do you work at the hotel I stayed at?! 😍
Awesome❤
Thanks for watching :)
@@travelforphoebe your welcome
welcome to thailand
🙏🏼🥰
Hello Phoebe, I'm Thai and I love your videos in Thailand so much since last time you visited our country. Just my suggestion, other national park to spot wild elephant is at Kui Buri national park and it is easier to spot them than Khao yai.
Kui Buri nation park is in Prachuap Kiri Khan province down south of Thailand. This province also has many famous tourist area such as Hua Hin (one of famous beach town in Thailand) Prachuap Kiri Khan town (peaceful beach town that you can easily spot dusky leaf monkey)
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the tip 😊🙏🏼 my Thailand bucket list just keeps getting longer 🥰😂✨
6:42 i dont like buffet but i got everything on the ala carte menu. You are so cute!
DIY buffet! 😂🥰
Love it there especially if u r a golfer
🙌🏻😊
beautiful❤
Thank you! 😊
ยินดีที่ได้ต้อนรับคับ
จงมีความสุข ในแบบที่คุณเป็น
ยิ้มสวย

ยินดีต้อนรับครับ
Thank you! 🥰
Great video! I love how the French restaurant is called Poirot… when Agatha Christie’s character Poirot was Belgian and hated being confused as French 😂
Omg 😂🙏🏼 that’s too funny!!
@@travelforphoebe Same same but different 😁
Welcome.
🙌🏻😊
สวยงามครับ
Thanks for watching 🥰✨
Khao yai has a treasure called oud trees. Its pretty expensive her in UAE and GCC countries.
gonna attempt that coffee soda at home. i need to know!!!! 😬
😂 I’ve been trying to make it myself and I CANNOT get it right. Please let me know if you crack it! I think I’m getting the orange part wrong!!
Just look at your VDO the first time and I feel like your personality and the way you present all. You are also very cute and beautiful. Subscribed.
Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏼♥️✨ that’s so lovely of you!!! Really happy you found my channel
Hi Phoebe, there is another place in Thailand you can visit. Khao Kho
Really nice :)
Thanks! 😊
@@travelforphoebe :)
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽☺⛰
Hello!! So glad you found my channel 🥰
The trains hotel really is beautiful.That's all I can tell.
So glad you think so too - I’m obsessed with it! 🥰
Need to try that coffee, soda orange thing…I’ve also seen it on menus and been scared but I trust your coffee taste-haha
hahaha yesssss omg the first time I saw it I ordered it 'just to try,' you know, I figured I'd be brave and... wow... it's so refreshing. I can't quite recreate it myself yet! I need to find out what they're using for the 'orange,' part... someone said it's a powdered sugar flavour thing?!
@@travelforphoebe So I know that the cafes here make a syrup with the citrus and other ingredients which they then add to the espresso etc. I have also seen a lot of places using tonic water too....
The magic citrus syrup! That’s it! That’s what I need!!!
So beautiful you tuber..+ Beatiful music + Beautiful scene..
That's so kind of you! Thank you :)
You look beautiful and happy in khaki Yai
Thank you 😊
w😯w😯w😯w👍Good Video👍 amazing thailand👍
Thanks for watching 🥰
Hope you see the herds of wild elephants, it’s soooo amazing!
I think I need to go back again and try to see them!!
Yes, you should because baby elephants are so cute❤
Wow I’m watch the angel did vlogs.
Thanks for watching 🥰🙏🏼
Hey enjoy and u looking beautiful
That's so lovely of you, thank you :)
Sei bellisima😍😍😘
