Why we should revisit Thailand and why we keep coming back? When we heard of Thailand, the first thing that comes to our mind is Bangkok, the home of great temples, street foods and night markets. Followed by countries' largest island, Phuket. But there's actually one magical land in the country that we never knew existed. This is KHAO YAI (which means large mountain) and this is the reason why we should go back to our favorite Thailand.
Khao Yai is a secret town which is approximately 2-3 hours drive from Bangkok. Here are 10 must visit places in this hidden gem the next time you head to Thailand! 1. The Bloom Add colors to your Instagram feed at Thailand's biggest flower garden. The garden grows and exhibits more than 30 species of beautiful temperate flowers.

5. Midwinter Green
A day to remember in this European castle-like restaurant. This restaurant is known for their Thai and international dishes and trust me, it's proven! I wasn't able to stay until evening, but I would suggest you to stay until the sun goes down for a more amazing and gorgeous view.
Address: Midwinter Green Nong Nam Daeng Nakhon Ratchasima Thailand Operating Hours: Mon-Tues 10am to 11pm
When the subject of tasty and healthy Thai cuisine is discussed, the name ‘Pad Thai’ rings a bell in our minds. Yum!

6. Farm Chokchai
Farm themed tourist attraction. Great for kids but I don't think it has much to offer for people above 14 years old, unless you're a zoo lover. There are the usual souvenir shops selling ice cream, farm souvenirs and plush toys and milk. There are also a couple of western style restaurants serving steaks and burgers.
Address: 159-160 Moo 2 Friendship Highway, Pak ChongContact number: 0651 558 5280Operating hours: Tues to Fri (10am to 2pm); Weekends 10am to 2.40pm. (Tours leave every 20 minutes)Entrance Fees: 300 Baht / USD $8.50 (Adult), 150 Baht / USD $4.20 (Child)
Fram Chokchai is a vast land for dairy cattle and has a small workshop for making ice cream.
