In reply to moon. That's smart -- rates vary wildly in Thailand depending on the season! You can get some incredible deals.

I am amazed, I have never heard of this side of Thailand. I am looking forward to a holiday next year, probably during low season to enjoy less expensive rates in a nice hotel in the Southern region.

In reply to Geunice. Hey Geunice! You actually remind me that I have been meaning to write a comprehensive guide to Thailand's wine regions, at some point. Yes, we did indeed have a private van with driver -- and that's really the only way to go. We left from Bangkok early in the morning, hit GranMonte and had lunch there, then went to PB Valley, then stayed the night in a nearby Airbnb. Then we went to Alcidini and back to Bangkok the next day. I hope that helps, and stay tuned for future wine posts!

Hi Alex, I just finished reading your 3-part Khao Yai wineries posts. I love them so much, you have a new reader! <3 I am going to Khao Yai in January. And I have been scouring the internet on how to do the Vineyard hopping. And I have not been very successful. Khao Yai lacks in public transport, ugh! Did you have a private car to go to those 3 vineyards? Did you go to GranMonte & PB Valley on the same day, and Alcidini the next? Sorry but need help on this!

In reply to Gabrielle Khaled. That sounds like an amazing trip Gabby! Have you considered Ayutthaya? That's my go-to recommendation for a destination that's close to Bangkok. You can find more about it on my destinations page -- I adore it!

Hi Alex, I am off to Thailand this weekend and will be spending 3 nights in Khao Yai National Park and will definitely visit Alcidini! I wondered if you could recommend somewhere else to go for 2 more nights close by Bangkok that is unique? I had saw your post about Bangkok Tree House but as I am a big foody not sure I would enjoy it. It would be great if you could recommend somewhere great! Thanks, Gabby

In reply to Ryan Biddulph. Not many visitors to Thailand know about its wine industry... even long-term expats! I couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to share this new side of my old favorite country with so many people.

Hi Alex,

Wow! Castles in Thailand? Never knew that existed. Awesome.

Cute goats and what a neat time visting vineyards in The Land of Smiles. Never knew, again, about the presence of vineyards there. Learning tons about Thailand today 😉

Thanks much for sharing.
