La propriété — 99 Hotel
The 99 Hotel is a straightforward, modern budget base in Pak Chong, three storeys, clean rooms with air-con and free WiFi. It doesn't try to be charming — the lobby is small, tiled, functional, with a reception desk and a couple of plastic chairs. What it offers is reliable, no-fuss accommodation right off the main road, ideal for travellers who just need a bed after a day at Khao Yai or who are passing through on the train route. There’s no frills, no pool, just a decent place to sleep and shower.
Chroniques de Pak Chong
Pak Chong grew as a railway town after the Northeastern Railway reached it in 1900, connecting Bangkok to Isaan. It remained a quiet agricultural junction for decades, known for fruit orchards and rubber. The big shift came when Khao Yai National Park was established in 1962, drawing nature tourists. Today Pak Chong is the main gateway to the park, a sprawling, functional town of guesthouses, minimarts and tour operators, with a distinctly Thai provincial feel. Its architecture is mostly functional mid-century concrete shop-houses and newer budget hotels — no picturesque old quarter.

Principales attractions à Pak Chong
💡 Use it as a cool break after the morning market. The staff are friendly and won't mind you sitting with a book for an hour - just sign in at the desk.
💡 Bring a torch - the inner cave is dark. The stairs are steep but short; take water in the hot season.
💡 Come at 8am to beat the crowds. The water is chilly even in April. Don't leave valuables in the car - use the lockers at the entrance.
💡 Check Facebook 'Thung Bua Suwan' before going - some years the blooms shift dates. Go at sunset for good light and fewer people. Wear shoes you don't mind muddy.
💡 Rent a bicycle for 50-100 baht at the park entrance rather than paying for a guide. Go early morning to see gibbons and hornbills without the crowds.
