Situated among the panoramic Khao Yai hills, Labaris boasts a unique stay in a boutique hotel with a labyrinth theme. The property is full of maze-like pathways, where sculptures, which seem to be a cross between animals indigenous to Khao Yai and magical creatures, peek through the shrubbery. So don’t be surprised if you get caught up in the moment, thinking you’re in some kind of fantasy land.
The looping saltwater pool is worth a mention. Just a few crawls down the pool is a natural creek, where the water runs all year round. There’s no fence or boundary between the two, so you can really feel one with nature when you’re taking your morning or afternoon dips.
If you’re looking for a real escape from hectic city life, pick one of the ten pool villas. Each villa has a private terrace and saltwater pool just a few steps away from the luxuriously decorated bedroom. If you want a full view of the mountainscape, go for the Deluxe or Grande Deluxe room. For a more spacious option, we recommend the Duplex, which has high ceilings and a two-story layout (perfect for small families).
Wake up early to take in the chirping of birds and views of the forest. Drop by Labaris restaurant to enjoy the breakfast buffet or make your way to Rabbit Café for daily-made pastries and house-blend Thai coffee. Lunch and dinner are also served at Labaris restaurant. The eatery offers a variety of cuisines, from authentic Thai dishes such as red curry crab meat with cha plu leaf to international fare like crabmeat salad with avocado and passion fruit, and grilled lamb served with pistachio butter, pumpkin mash and couscous. The hotel is also only minutes away from some of Khao Yai’s most popular eateries, including Ribs mannn, The Chocolate Factory, and Midwinter Green.
With so much political drama going on right now, we can’t deny that a little escape to a “fantasy land” is exactly what we need.
