The hotel was the heavy construction site in the time we stayed. The constructors were so kind to finish their work at around 21.00 a.m (after we asked them). Take a look at the photos.

Swimming pool dirty, quite big but renovation needed.
100 meter from the hotel somebody build "mini Italy". Elephant farm nearby.

I went with my partner and another couple to Khao Yai for a 3 day getaway. The hotel we originally booked were much to faraway from everything that we had to improvise and we found Juldis. We booked a 2-bedroom condo there for 3250B a night, which was about 800 baht each ( much less than all the other places we looked at). Despite being a little bit old and with showers that weren't very hot (as it was chilly in Khao yai) and no free wifi in the room.. we actually enjoyed it, mainly because we were relieved to simply find somewhere close that wasn't in the middle of nowhere and a half-hour-drive to any kind of activity.

We had 2 balconies with great views of a mountainside, a nice swimming pool and we were near everything that we wanted to check out in Khao yai. The gorgeous European-style market Palio was right next door and the Khao Yai national park was a short drive to the left.

Khao Yai is an 'outdoorsy' place so I wouldn't worry too much if you're with a group of friends about the quality of your lodgings.. Bring games, picnic material and hope in your car and explore - There's wine tasting, trekking, night safari's and surprisingly wonderful shopping.

If you're on a romantic getaway, I would imagine you'd have to pay a lot more for something to satisfy the genre. :).. One of the Wineries-turned-resorts could be the answer.
