The Blue Sky Resort - A Step Into An European Fairytale Resort In The Heart of Khao Kho


The Blue Sky Resort is no stranger to anyone who have read or seen news about Khao Kho. The thought of staying in this magical place crossed my mind, but it was over my budget. Although I normally travel on a budget, I do occasionally splurge a little to enjoy a comfortable stay in a decent hotel. However, a night stay over RM500 per night in Thailand still sound pretty expensive to me, so I ended up staying at Akirynya Resort instead.

Akirynya Resort : Budget-Friendly Resort With An 'Atas' View

Bearing the reputation of “The Little Switzerland of Thailand”, Khao Kho has plenty of hotels and resorts which offers splendid view of the mountainous valley and morning sea of clouds. Although big names such as The Blue Sky Resort, The Sense Talaymok, Phu San Dao and Pino Latte were the hottest resort in town, they also booked out fast, so you’ll have to book in advance to secure a room, especially during the peak season in winter. However, with the booming tourism in Khao Kho, fret not, as there are plenty of new resorts in town, offering the same plendid view. One of such resort I found is Akirynya Resort.

Best Eats In Khao Kho – Boranniyom Restaurant & Tanrak Talaymok

We have covered Pino Latte which is the single most popular café in Khao Kho. But we can’t possibly only eat in one café, can we? Consider yourself blessed if you are visiting Khao Kho anytime soon, as the restaurants and café there springs up like mushrooms, you will be spoilt with choices.

Khao Kho Wind Farm - Romantic Wind Turbine Farm Atop The Hill

The first time I ever heard or seen a Windmills Farm was through a Hong Kong drama called “Ups and Downs in The Sea of Love”. A scene in the drama took place in Palm Springs Windmill Farms in the city of Los Angeles, where thousands of wind turbines line the valley. It was an eye-opening scene for a school girl who has never been out of Malaysia, and needless to say, I was awed. Knowing how far and expensive a trip to the US would be, I never thought I would be able to see a Windmill Farm any time soon. That is… until I get to know about Khao Kho Wind Farm.

B.N. Farm and The Front – Strolling Across the Cosmos Field For a Romantic Afternoon Date

After visiting both Pino Latte and Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew, we still had time before checking in to our hotel, so we dropped by two places along the way – B.N. Farm and The Front. B.N. Farm for fruits and ice cream and The Front for its flower fields. The two locations are by the same owner but located opposite each other along the road.

Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew : Colourful Mosaic Temple On The Glass Cliff


Thailand is never short of impressive temples. Wherever you go, you are bound to see beautiful Thai Buddhist Temple and Khao Kho is no exception. Nestled deep in the mountains of Phetchabun resides Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew, a magical temple straight out of a fairy tale.

Pino Latte Resort & Cafe: More Than Just A Café

Gone were the days where café only strive to serve the best coffee and breakfast. Nowadays, with the emergence of social media (especially Instagram), the aesthetic presentation of the food is as important as the taste itself. Camera is the first to eat, and the judge is no longer just the patrons, but millions other followers of them on social media. But one other thing outranks the instagrammability of the food – the instagrammability of the café itself.

Effortless Camping At Phu Thap Boek : Catching The Sunrise Amidst The Sea Of Clouds

If you have been following my blog, you should know by now that I’m a mountain person. Apart from travel posts, I also write about my hiking trips, specifically in Malaysia. Occasionally, people asked me about those astonishing “sea of clouds” (or cloud carpet) view I shared, only to be disappointed to find out that they have to hike for hours or days to get there. I get it, hiking isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

3D2N Khao Kho Road Trip From Bangkok – Tips On How To Get There, Where To Stay and What To Do in Less Than RM850 / SGD285


Let’s admit it, Thailand is a huge country. Beside Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, there are plenty of other places to visit. Even a visit to the ever-popular Bangkok can be extended to day trips to nearby district such as Khao Yai, Hua Hin and Ayutthaya, ranging from one day to a couple of days. But being a sucker for great mountainous view, I was drawn to another place, albeit having need to travel longer on the road – Khao Kho.
