Ob-Oon Khao Kho Resort

The rooms at Ob-Oon Khao Kho Resort all have air conditioning, a private bathroom and a mountain view. They range from a king room for two guests to a double room that sleeps up to twelve, and include bungalows, a triple room, a family room with two queen beds and futons, and a room with a single, a queen and a king bed.

Many rooms have a balcony or terrace, and bed set-ups vary from king and queen beds to futons, so the choice of room depends on the size of your group. Some rooms also have a refrigerator and free bottled water, and capacity runs from two to twelve guests.

Guests can use the garden and the terrace, and the resort has a coffee shop and a convenience store on site. Karaoke and meeting and banquet facilities are also available, and the public areas have air conditioning.

Wi-Fi is free in all rooms, and free parking is available nearby. Guided tours and activities can be arranged by the resort, which is a practical way to see Khao Kho's hills without driving yourself. Non-smoking rooms and family rooms are also available.

Khao Kho is a mountain district of Phetchabun province in central Thailand, and the resort sits in its hills, with the village of Ban Rim Si Muang close by. The setting is rural and upland, with small villages and mountain views, and it is a long way from the lowland towns. Travellers who want a quiet break in the hills will find the pace much slower than in the big cities.

The sights around the resort are spread across the surrounding hills. The Itthi Artillery Support Base Museum is 4.7 km away, the Khao Kho Sacrifice Monument and the Monument & Machine Gun Posts are about 5.8 km away, and the Viewpoint & Parking area is 7.1 km away. Because the sights are several kilometres apart, a car or a motorbike is the practical way to visit them.

A good day out is a drive to the viewpoint, then a stop at the monuments and the museum on the way back to the resort. The garden and terrace at Ob-Oon Khao Kho Resort are a quiet place to finish the day.
