Palio (ปาลิโอ) is an Italian-village-themed shopping and restaurant complex at Khao Yai, around 190 km from Bangkok. It features cobblestone streets, Italian-style architecture, cafés, restaurants, a winery, and fashion boutiques — a popular weekend destination for Bangkokians.
Is Palio Khao Yai worth visiting?
Palio is enjoyable as part of a Khao Yai day trip, particularly for the café-restaurant options and the novelty of Italian-village architecture in a Thai forest setting. It’s busiest on weekends with Bangkok visitors. The surrounding area has excellent vineyards and farm restaurants as well.

Beyond the national park: Palio Italian village, PB Valley Khao Yai Winery (wine tours and tastings), Primo Piatto restaurant, Château de Loei winery (2 hours north in Loei), the Friendship Highway scenic drive, and various coffee farms and organic restaurants in the Pak Chong countryside.
