Places to Visit - The Blue Diamond Resort - Nakhon Nayok (near Bangkok)

Nakhon Nayok seems to be a very understated Thai tourist destination. The province is home to the famous Khao Yai National Park, which soaks up loads of tourist attention, but away from the park, the outer areas of Nakhon Nayok remain very popular with Thais and those in the know, due to the vast geographical attributes and heady mountainous landscapes.

The main road into Nakhon Nayok is heavily populated with resorts of all sizes and to suit all budgets, and if you tried to find the Blue Diamond Resort, you probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Although located just off the main road, it is very poorly signposted; you have to drive some way down various small sois and alleyways to find it.....We only perservered as we had someone on the other end of the phone as we looked..... the place is well known to Thai's who visit the area regularly, and who appreciate good value and clean spaces.

It's well worth the hunt once you find it - nice atmosphere, good bar and restaurant and lush, tropical walkways with picturesque little rooms; the central location also offers great access to the rest of Nakhon Nayok and to the many surrounding activities (kayaking, nature walking, waterfalls etc). A modest 800 baht per night asking price is pretty welcoming also.

So I heavily recommend The Blue Diamond Resort. If you would like more detailed directions please feel free to ask. Nakhon Nayok is a great place to visit, plus being that it's located literally just outside of Bangkok, it's worth a visit just for the absolutely stark change in scenery.

Plus they do a cracking 'Thai fried breakfast' (rice, egg, pork and chilli). Smashing.

You really are turning into a Fat Pang aren't you? Did you know 40% of Thai Pirate blogs mention grub. Stick that in your Googlestats.
