How to go to Baan Yen Sabai

We are happy to welcome you at Baan Yensabai in Khao Yai.
To go there, I hope that you already have the plan.
Set off at first on Pahonyothin Road (no 1) northward to Saraburi. At the kilometre 106, take the Mitrapab Road (no. 2) toward Nakornrachsima (or Korat). There are two roads leading to the Khao Yai National Park. The simple one (via Tanarat Road) is to turn right (by using the flyover on your left) when you arrive at the kilometer 57 from Saraburi (or about 164 from Bangkok), the direction Khao Yai is indicated. I would rather advise you to take the shorter and more beautiful Kudkla Road. Please make a u-turn at the kilometre 36 from Saraburi (or about 143 from Bangkok) and immediately turn left after the u-turn (the Dairy Home restaurant is at the entrance of road). This road, of 24 kilometres, will bring you to Tanarat Road where you then turn right and continue for about 3 kilometres. This takes you to 200 m before the entrance of the Park where you turn left to enter Wang Nam Khiew road. After about 6 kilometres, you will go pass Kirimaya Hotel, the road turns a little bit to the right and to the left, a hundred of metres farther don’t go straight but follow the road to the right to enter Klong Deua village. Chateau de Khao Yai is situated at its exit. About 5.3 km from Kirimaya Hotel, you will enter Klong Din Dam village where you follow the same Wang Nam Khiew road to the right while crossing a bridge. After 4 bridges (including the one at the entrance of Klong Din Dam village and going pass the so-called Toscana Valley) you will arrive at Nong Chok village with a temple at the exit. Then the road turns towards the right and goes up a little hill. One km farther, the road goes straight down (you will see on the right a white and gold-coloured Stupa of Makut Kiriwan Temple which overlooks our house) and then goes up. The road is now relatively flat then goes down and up a little bit. Here you will see a big house on the right. Just after the house, please turn right, leaving the main road (about 12 km form Klong Din Dam village) to enter a small road. Here, there is a board on which the name Suan V.P. is written as well as a tiny orange plastic board where we put the name of our place (unfortunately in Thai). You could also notice a water tower, ‘Coffee Mania’ written up there, and a white 'cowboy' fence. Only the first part (400 m.) of this small road is paved. About 1 km from the entrance you will see a lone tree on you left and an electric post on your right (and another tiny orange plastic board on it). Turn right and you will soon see our rust-coloured house with a brown roof.

Have a safe journey.
