A luxurious resort set back from an unassuming road leading to Khao Yai, the Juldis is ideal if you're devoting a full day to exploring the park. It has a spa and pool, and the gardens in back create a wonderfully isolated feeling. Skip the steak house (which becomes a pub at night) and try the Thai-Chinese restaurant instead. The "deluxe" rooms, with balconies overlooking the forest, are a better deal for only a few baht more. The lovely houses and bungalows in the garden are much pricier. Pros: beautiful, natural location just outside national park; many activities (tennis, bicycles, swimming); on-site spa. Cons: far from town; no off-site restaurants nearby; many Thai tour groups.
