Just 1.5 hours from Bangkok (once the new road opens this year) lies a destination that transports you straight into the roaring 1920s. Imagine a world where The Great Gatsby meets Murder on the Orient Express, all set against the lush backdrop of Khao Yai. Welcome to Khao Yai, the Hamptons of New York, reimagined for Bangkok.
Opened three years ago, this 64-key property is a masterpiece of design by the legendary Bill Bensley. Every corner exudes sophistication and elegance, capturing the opulent spirit of a bygone era. You can even sleep in a luxury rail car, offering a nod to the glamour of classic train travel. (45 luxury rooms and suites, and 19 repurposed heritage train car suites and villas with private pool).
Dining, Drinks, and Jazz
Dress to impress, as the property embraces a refined dress code that mirrors its 1920s aesthetic. For a more relaxed evening, the bar comes alive during the week with live piano jazz sessions, creating an atmosphere both chic and intimate.
