Mountain views are Khao Yai’s great draw, but not every room sold as “mountain view” really looks at the mountains.
The park’s highest peak is Khao Rom, at about 1,351 metres. The ridges you see from most stays belong to the Dong Phayayen–Khao Yai forest, and they look their best at dawn and sunset.
