Khao Yai's newly opened Birder's Lodge (282 Moo 10, Mhoo Sri, Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima) is a quaint new resort that features only five European-style wooden cottages spread across lush, flora-filled grounds.

Each cottage comes in a homely modern-meets-rustic style, fully equipped with a kitchen and utilities. Prices range from B3,000-B4,500 per night. During the current promotional period, guests also receive a free barbecue set for a private grill dinner right outside your cottage. There are also bikes available for you to take in all that fresh air. 

If you're only doing a one-day trip, there's also a pretty stunning cafe on-site that sticks to that winning combo of raw wood and greenery.  

Bookings can be made at 096-545-4154 or www.fb.com/thebirderslodge.
