Delightful Guesthouse in a great location and with a brilliant Tour Guide in the owner”
Great value accommodation very close to Khao Yai National Park and run by the wonderful Paphon whose passion for the local wildlife makes for a fantastic stay. Khao Yai attracts lots of wealthy Thais making the area pricey, so this quality budget guesthouse is an attractive oasis. It is quiet, out of the way (but does have a decent restaurant 600 yards away at the top of the lane) and a little tricky to get to (follow the instructions on the Trip Advisor listing) but is worth the effort. Do the full Tour of Park with Paphon and whatever you do, don’t miss the bats which is in the other direction but an amazing spectacle. We stayed three nights in total, using one of the days to spend the day in the Park on a scooter we hired. We really recommend Jungle Planet.

The owner made this stay incredible.”
A huge thank you to Phaphon at Jungle Planet for all of his hospitality over the last couple of days. As soon as we arrived at his guesthouse we were made to feel so welcome. His property is scenic and serene, and you immediately feel relaxed and at home. The rooms are lovely and spacious - the double bed is huge, the fan is more than enough to cool you down, and there's a large TV with satellite television for down time. Phaphon is a one man band really, and runs his own trekking tours alongside his guesthouse! He's been running tours for other companies for 15 years so really knows his way around the park. The first evening we went to see the bat cave which is a spectacle to be seen. We were treated to watermelon as we waited for the show. Well the bats soared, swerved and swooped in a rhythmic dance as thousands of them escaped their dwelling for well over half an hour. It was magical. The next morning Phaphon was waiting for us in his lovely garden at 8am, armed with his pickup truck, binoculars and telescope we set off for the National Park. Without giving too much away, the day was absolutely incredible. We saw two wild serow, which is on the endangered species list, along with a 1.2m-wide hornbill, numerous cheeky gibbons and many more impressive animals. Paphon added not only his substantial expertise, but his friendly, bubbly, welcoming personality to further enhance the whole experience. We decided we wanted to stay with Phaphon at his guesthouse for longer so booked an extra day, just to relax and enjoy the surroundings of his guesthouse and local area. Phaphon is a wonderful host and I can't recommend Jungle Planet enough.

Thank you, Alex, for your valuable review on our guesthouse and our serrvice.
Exceptional”
The host is fluent in English, and he is very friendly person, you can ask him any advice about travelling in Khao Yai. I was surprised to see how clean and nice the room was for this cheap price unlike many other places for the same price where I ever stayed before. There is less than 10 minutes by vehicle to the Khao Yai park Northen gate, so you can start your trip early in the morning. I will definitely choose this guesthouse again for my next visit to Khao Yai.

Best hostel for visiting Khao Yai”
Host realy realy nice and helpful. He speak french and english pretty well. He is also a guide in the national park of Khao Yai. You should ask him for tours, he is the best guide you can have and realy cheap compare the other regular tours. He will drive you to realy good and cheap local restaurents when you want. He also have 4 dogs (3 rescues) and 1 cat. The rooms are realy big ( we been in Thaialand for more than a month and never had this big for that price). The rooms are realy clean and confortable, with a TV , large fan (if you took fan ), big bed, nice bathroom and many windows. I realy recommand you this hostel. One of the best we had in Thailand!

Fantastic place to stay close to Khao Yai with a great guide!”
We absolutely loved our visit to Jungle Planet! Paphon was the owner and he communicated with us well via Facebook before our arrival and gave us helpful info. At the resort, he drove us to the nearest restaurants each night so we didn't have to walk on the muddy streets in the dark. One night he even spent a long time helping us get our SIM card set up! The place itself was great with a large room, TV, wonderful A/C, and a great bathroom. He was also a great guide to the park and he was able to spot a bunch of animals for us throughout the day. We highly recommend you staying here and meeting him! It is very close to the park and easy to get to Jungle Planet with public transportation.

Quiet and beautiful location.”
Down a small country lane, but still close to all the sights and various restaurants in the Khao Yai area. Our room was clean and comfortable, and afforded us a good night's rest. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Would happily stay here again

Great value, Great visit”
my partner and I loved our stay at Jungle Palace. we ended up staying 2 nights. (the buses stop driving back to Pack Chong in the early afternoon) and had a great experience in the park. There are two restaurants just down the road from Jungle Palace that you can borrow a bicycle to get to. One is built up and more expensive, the other is an outdoor kitchen and a few benches. they have an English menu and the food is great. definitely recommend.

Thank you so much, Alexandra
Excellent”
Very quiet place to stay. No wifi so you get a real break from everything. The owner is really nice and will help you with anything, even speaking good english and some french. Rooms are very confortable and clean. Two restaurants near by and little shops you can go by foot (5min walking). From and to Pak Chong you have one hour bus that will stop you at the place. The park really worth it : there is not so many tourists. You need to rent a moto to go in and it's around 12$ for foreigner for one day, you can see wil elephants, crocidiles, lezards, gibbons, dear...

Haven close to Khao Yai”
The owner, Mr Phaphon was very helpful in helping me arrange all my excursions into the NP. For the price of the room per night at his Lodge, I felt it was well below - and very worth what was being offered. Getting there from the Pak Chong train station was also easy enough, and cost only 40 baht by the local blue songtaews. The lodge is but a short walk in from the main road. A definite little bijou of a find, and I will certainly return to stay at here for subsequent KYNP forays.

The sweetest owners!”
The owners were so friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed! The place is very clean, quiet, and not far from the park entrance, but you definitely need a motorbike to get to places. You can find them near the park entrance. The staff speaks great English and even recommend a nice spot for dinner! Just so you know there is no wifi but sometimes it's nice to disconnect and relax!

Very quiet, clean and close to the Khao Yai national park”
We are enjoying our stay here. The only facility we would have loved to have are a) a kettle in the room (so that we could make coffee or tea any time we wish), b) wifi access). We stayed at air-conditioner room which is not necessary during this time of the year. It actually gets quite cold during the night.

Very good”
Host is wonderful guy and an excellent guide.It is very isolated and when we were there there was some heavy rain so very muddy.I would suggest tea and coffee facilities should be introduced to the bungalows. Our room hadn't been cleaned or the bed made but none the less it was excellent value for money. Our host took us too and from a local restaurant which was very obliging of him.The tour was great but a little strenuous for older generation. No regrets good fun.Great for a short stay or longer if you have transport
