Primo Piazza Khao Yai or the Little Italy of Thailand is a picturesque inspired Tuscan Village situated in Pak Chong. It is absolutely a great day trip from Bangkok and a side trip to Khao Yai National Park. Primo Piazza is becoming famous now for both locals and tourists wanting to explore the quaint little town.
My curiosity made me visit Primo Piazza last year. The Italian style architecture is set dramatically in a lush and greenery Khao Yai that brings a Tuscan atmosphere. Aside from the Italy feels, Primo Piazza lure visitors with vintage style souvenir shops and cafes, Thai fusion and western cuisine restaurants, a Wine Bar, a two-storey Hotel with a cool restaurant, a barn where you can feed sheep, alpaca, and donkeys, and a live music in the fountain area every night.

What to Expect in Primo Piazza?
– The only drawback is that there is no public transport that will take you to Primo Piazza. It would be better to bring your own car, rent a car or motorcycle if you’re feeling adventurous. Unfortunately, there is no uber/grab a car yet. Let’s all hope that there will be such thing in the future.
– Entrance fee of 100 Baht
– Great Photo Ops. It is likely that Primo Piazza is created for the Instagram era
– If you are looking for something adventurous, this might not be a place for you due to its Limited activities.
– Overpriced Souvenirs, I would recommend Palio Village, an Italian-inspired shopping center in Khao Yai.
