Location

The resort lists its address in Mu Si subdistrict, Pak Chong. It does not state a distance to the national park on the pages we checked, so ask for the drive time to the northern gate. The resort describes itself as about two hours from Bangkok.

Couples and small families who want something different from a classic resort, especially travellers interested in art, architecture and landscape.

Highlights

  • A distinctive setting in a former marble quarry
  • Pool Villa sized for a family of four

Things to consider

  • Only one category has a private pool — the others rely on shared pools
  • Quarry landscapes have cliffs and water features; supervise children closely
  • Confirm meal inclusions and any minimum stay before booking

Nearby: what to do and how to plan

From Mu Si it is an easy drive to the PB Valley winery tour and to the national park. Families may enjoy the night safari.
