Location & what to see
Khaem Son sits in the hills of Khao Kho, in Phetchabun province in central Thailand, where the landscape is green and hilly and the air is noticeably cooler than on the lowland plains. It is a quiet area of villages and hillside roads, with hills rising around the hotel.
The two nearest villages, Ban Khao Sam Thong and Ban Pa Kha, lie within a kilometre of the hotel. The pagoda Wat Pa Khasamakhi is about 1.2 km away, and the temple Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew is around 5.1 km off. Ban Lao Ya, a village 3.6 km away, is another settlement in the hills. The hotel is on Highway 12, so a car is the easiest way to reach the temples, which are spread across the hills.
A good day here can start with a walk through the nearby villages and a visit to Wat Pa Khasamakhi, followed by a drive to Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew in the afternoon. Back at the hotel, the fireplace is a natural place to end the day, and the cool hill air makes the evenings pleasant.
