Palio Khao Yai 🇹🇭

Palio is located in Khao Yai, Pak Chong District, Thailand. Chill out at this Italian style town in Thailand. It’s a place to stop by after all tiring activities. Definitely a great place for photo shooting. Nothing much to buy as it’s much more expensive to buy from here than in the night market. It’s nearby location to some resorts and hotel. Pros: Good for taking tonnes of photos, No entrance fee. Cons: Limited shops, Souvenirs more expensive compare to night markets, Quite hard to find the toilet (ask around if u need to). Suggested Duration: 1-2 hours. Operation Time: 9am-7pm. #thailand

Italian Village In Thailand⁉️🤩🇹🇭

#timetotravel Palio Khao Yai was created in a warm Italian village architectural style. Visitors can walk in the alleys of this romantic community and discover more than 120 lifestyle shops including restaurants, cafes, wine shops and souvenirs from the farm, home decorations, handmade souvenirs and unique jewellery. “Palio” is derived from a regular horse racing festival in the centre of Siena, Italy. It literally means “reward"". So “Palio Khao Yai” led the idea of creating this romantic community situated among the valleys to be a reward to travelers. #thailand #trip #travel #instatravel
