Your booking at a glance

Journey choicesDirect resort transfer in either direction, a return booking, or a sightseeing day with an agreed itinerary.
PickupYour Bangkok hotel or agreed address; BKK and DMK airport pickups can be requested.
DestinationYour exact resort, villa or agreed park destination, with a map link and any entrance instructions. “Khao Yai” alone does not identify a pickup or drop-off.
TimingAssessed using the pickup point, resort location, planned stops and traffic. Park visits require additional time beyond reaching the area.

Pickup from Bangkok, BKK or DMK

Bangkok hotel or address

Send the full property name, map link and preferred pickup time. For a condominium or large resort, include the entrance or tower. Tell us if you are checking out with all your luggage.

Airport arrival

Name Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK), your flight number and the local arrival date. Share the exact Khao Yai hotel map link and any booked activity time. Meeting arrangements and the road itinerary are confirmed for your booking.

For arrival planning, see our Bangkok airport pickup arrangements. Keep hotel check-in and timed activities separate from the flight landing time.

Choose a resort transfer or a sightseeing day

Direct hotel or resort transfer

Choose this when reaching your accommodation is the priority. Send the resort name and map link, travel date and luggage details. A hotel transfer does not automatically include a visit to the national park.

Private day trip

Send a short list of places you would like to visit and your preferred return time. We check the driving and visiting time together, then quote for the agreed stops and driver waiting.

Khao Yai resort areas and national park entry

Khao Yai describes a wider resort area as well as the national park. A resort in the Pak Chong area and a destination inside the park require different journey planning. Exact addresses help us choose the appropriate approach and avoid unnecessary driving. The park has a northern entrance at Pak Chong and a southern entrance at Noen Hom. If you plan to enter, tell us which places you want to visit so entry, driving time and the return route can be reviewed. Check the national park’s official visitor information before travel.

Plan your day around your group

A shorter list of stops leaves time for lunch, rest breaks and enjoying each place. Tell us if children or older relatives need shorter walks, or if anyone has difficulty getting into a higher vehicle. Paths, steps and access vary between attractions. Park admission, vehicle entry, attraction tickets and any licensed guide must be identified in your quotation. A private driver booking should not be assumed to include guided hiking or park activities. Access and activities depend on current park arrangements and weather.

Khao Yai to Bangkok, BKK or DMK

Book a one-way car from your Khao Yai accommodation to a Bangkok hotel or either Bangkok airport, even if your outward journey was arranged elsewhere. Provide the collection address and preferred date and time. For a flight departure, include the airport, flight number and departure time. Road travel, possible traffic and your airline’s check-in requirements need to be allowed for separately. Agree any sightseeing on the return before confirming the booking.

Example bookings for Khao Yai

A resort arrival

Bangkok hotel or airport pickup → a planned comfort break → your named Khao Yai resort. This is a direct transfer, with no park admission or sightseeing assumed.

A private sightseeing day

Bangkok pickup → the agreed park entrance or local attraction → lunch and a small selection of pre-arranged stops → Bangkok return. Share your priorities so the plan allows time at each place.
A park visit and a café or resort day are different itineraries. Tell us which you want, rather than booking a general “Khao Yai tour.” Admission, hiking, guides and attraction tickets are separate unless included in your quote. Use the national park’s visitor planning information when choosing park activities.

Transport for your whole Khao Yai stay

A resort transfer and a day exploring are different bookings. If you need transport after arrival, send us your full stay rather than only the drive from Bangkok. Include sightseeing dates, dinner plans, activity reservations and the final journey home. We check availability and confirm each day’s stops, duration, waiting and return arrangements in your quotation.

Two sightseeing routes to consider

Your interestsExample route from your hotelDetails to agree
Forest and natureAgreed park entrance → suitable trail or waterfall stop → meal break → hotelWalking ability, current access, park admission, vehicle entry and any required guide
Farms, flowers and foodFarm or seasonal garden → lunch → café or vineyard → hotelExact venues, seasonal availability, tour reservations and time at each stop
Chokchai, flower gardens, Oria Café and vineyards are ideas to choose from, not a promise that every place fits the same route. Send the ones you want most so we can check the driving from your resort. You can request a direct transfer, return transfers on different dates, a sightseeing day or transport across several days. Driver hours, additional time and any multi-day driver arrangements are agreed for your booking. Guides, meals and attraction activities are separate unless included. Read Natalie’s Khao Yai guide for her farm, food and accommodation suggestions before choosing your stops.

Choose a vehicle for your group and luggage

Send the number of adults and children, suitcases, smaller bags, pushchairs and any mobility equipment. Tell us whether these bags travel with you during sightseeing or remain at your hotel. We check passenger seating and luggage space together; see our guide to vehicle and luggage space before choosing.

Sedan

An option for solo travellers, couples or a small party when the passenger and luggage requirements fit the vehicle offered.

SUV

An option to consider for families or larger bags. Available luggage space depends on the seating arrangement, so send the full passenger and bag count.

Minivan

An option for families and groups travelling together. Confirm the number and size of suitcases alongside the passenger count.

Luxury minivan

Available on request. Ask about the seating layout and luggage allowance of the vehicle offered for your date.
Child seats are available on request. Send each child’s age, height and weight so the arrangement, availability and any charge can be confirmed before booking.

The people arranging your journey

SPNJ Travel is a family business based in Bangkok. Our approach is shaped by family journeys between Europe and Asia, with attention to the details that matter when travelling with children and luggage. We ask for your actual pickup, destination and group details so the vehicle and quotation reflect your journey. Contact us on WhatsApp or at info@spnjtravel.com. Transfer times are agreed separately, subject to availability. Read our family story.

Booking and cancellation

For standard bookings, cancellation fees depend on the notice received before your scheduled pickup:
  • At least 48 hours: free cancellation.
  • 24 to less than 48 hours: 50% of the agreed booking fee.
  • Less than 24 hours: 60% of the agreed booking fee.
  • No-show: 100% of the agreed booking fee.
All deadlines use Bangkok time. Send cancellation requests by email, WhatsApp or LINE. Separate terms for multi-day journeys or specially reserved vehicles will be stated in your quotation and agreed before booking confirmation. Your booking confirmation sets out the total price, payment instructions and agreed journey details.

How to book

  1. Send your details. Include your travel date, pickup point and time, destination, passengers and luggage. Add flight details, child-seat needs and any requested stops or connections.
  2. Review the quotation. We check availability and confirm the vehicle, journey details and total price. Ask us to clarify inclusions, waiting, payment and cancellation terms before accepting.

Does a Khao Yai day trip include a guide?

A private vehicle and driver does not automatically include a licensed guide, guided hiking or park activities. Request these when enquiring so arrangements and inclusions can be checked.
