Itinerary
Day 1
Meet in Bangkok and transfer to Khao Yai. Short nature trails, spring kayaking, wine tasting and stargazing. Meals and 1-night boutique accommodation included.
Meeting & briefing — Terminal 21 Asok (pickup point)
Meet your guide and group at the designated meeting point (Terminal 21 Asok) for a short trip briefing and to load luggage. Guide confirms final route and checks dietary restrictions. Pickup from central Bangkok hotels may be arranged in advance.
Tips from local experts:
- Have your phone charged; the guide will confirm pickup details via WhatsApp before departure.
- Wear comfortable layers—mornings in February can be cool, warming up through the day.
- Bring any required medication and inform the guide of dietary restrictions at meeting.
Transfer to Khao Yai & short nature walk to Ched Sao Noi Waterfall
Scenic road transfer from Bangkok to the Muak Lek / Khao Yai area followed by a short nature walk. Choose a 3 km Chedkot Trail hike for a longer walk, or a leisurely 1.37 km walk to the Ched Sao Noi Waterfall for an easier option.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect 2–3 hours driving time from central Bangkok; use the travel time to hydrate and rest.
- Sturdy walking shoes recommended for uneven trail sections near the waterfall.
- Carry a small daypack with water, sun protection, and a lightweight rain shell.
Lunch — Thai set menu (confirmed before trip)
Sit-down Thai set menu meal at a local restaurant guided by the team. The operator confirms food restrictions before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Inform the team of allergies or dietary needs in advance so the kitchen can prepare appropriate dishes.
- If you prefer lighter portions after hiking, ask the server for smaller servings.
- Carry any snacks you prefer; lunches are balanced but may be heartier than a light picnic.
Bornamput natural spring — swim and kayak
Relax at a clear natural spring where you can swim or kayak in a quiet, green setting. Time allocated for water activities and short relaxation.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a quick-dry towel and change of clothes; facilities are basic so pack what you need.
- Secure electronics in waterproof pouches when kayaking.
- Apply reef-safe sunscreen and avoid stepping on submerged vegetation to protect the spring.
Check-in and short rest at boutique resort
Arrive at the boutique resort (Dark Sky Project area) and check into your deluxe room. Time to freshen up before evening activities.
Tips from local experts:
- Rooms are deluxe with breakfast included; request a quiet room when checking in if you prefer minimal night noise.
- Charge cameras and phones before stargazing; some rooms have limited charging ports.
- Confirm wake-up and transfer times with reception the night before the second-day trek.
Wine tasting — boutique resort (Alcidini selection)
Guided wine tasting featuring a curated selection of local Thai wines produced on-site or nearby, followed by instruction on mobile-phone astrophotography under dark skies.
Tips from local experts:
- Sip water between tastings to stay hydrated at higher elevation evenings.
- Bring a small tripod or steady surface for mobile astrophotography if you have one.
- Follow the guide's instructions for low-light phone camera settings to capture the Milky Way.
Thai-style BBQ (Mookrata) dinner — camping-style restaurant
Communal Thai-style BBQ (Mookrata) served in a relaxed, camping-style setting at the resort or nearby outdoor restaurant.
Tips from local experts:
- Mookrata is grilled at the table—ask the staff to assist if you prefer gentler heat or slower cooking.
- If you have dietary restrictions, confirm alternatives with the guide before service begins.
- Evening temperatures can drop; bring a light layer for outdoor dining.

Tips from local experts:
- Have hiking shoes and daypack ready the night before to save time at checkout.
- Carry water and light snacks; the operator provides a lunch later in the day.
- Notify the guide immediately if anyone in the group is feeling unwell before the hike.
Ranger-guided trek — Trail No.5 (partial loop, ~5 km)
Guided 5-kilometer partial loop along Trail No.5 through dry evergreen forest, secondary forest and grassland. Ranger commentary on wildlife tracking and habitat; keep an eye out for elephants, gaur, monkeys, hornbills and gibbons.
Tips from local experts:
- Trail sections may be uneven; trekking poles can help on inclines and descents.
- Keep noise to a minimum to increase wildlife sighting chances and follow the ranger's instructions closely.
- Avoid wearing strong perfumes and secure food in backpacks to minimise wildlife attraction.
Haew Suwat (Head Sawat) Waterfall visit
Visit Haew Suwat Waterfall within Khao Yai National Park for scenic views and photo opportunities amid lush surroundings.
Tips from local experts:
- There are viewing platforms—stay within designated paths and rails for safety.

- Restroom facilities are available at the park entrance; use them before short walks to viewpoints.
Lunch — Thai set menu (Michelin-guided restaurant selection)
Sit-down Thai set menu at a selected local restaurant. The team confirms dietary requirements before service.
Tips from local experts:
- If you have specific dietary needs, remind the guide again at the start of the day to ensure lunch is prepared accordingly.
- Use lunchtime to rest legs and rehydrate after the morning trek.
- Ask for local tea or coffee for a warm drink if you prefer after the meal.
Return transfer to Bangkok — end of program
After lunch, load the vehicle for the return transfer to Bangkok. The guide will advise estimated drop-off time based on traffic and arranged hotel or Terminal 21 Asok drop-off.
