Khao Yai National Park, Thailand

This is ‘glamping’ as you’ve never experienced it, with the emphasis firmly on the ‘glamorous’ rather than the ‘camping’. Close to the Khao Yai National Park, the resort offers a luxurious launchpad for visits to the world-renowned wildlife reserve. But plenty of well-heeled Bangkokians come here just to relax in their tented villa, gazing at the idyllic views while sprawled on cushioned daybeds, or lolling about in the fabulous infinity pool. Set amid manicured lawns, the hotel is approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway that promises something special – and the hotel certainly delivers. Golfing fanatics will particularly love this property, which has its own Championship course.
