After spending some time in Pak Chong and the surrounding area, it's not difficult to see why so many Thais are eagre to be here. The region is home to splendid mountains, lakes, rivers and waterfalls, picuresque parks and farms, and vineyards that produce some of Thailand's best wines. The air is cool and comfortable on most days, and there are endless resorts, campsites, and fun activities to keep you occupied. And that's all before entering Khao Yai, arguably Thailand's best national park.
