Khao Yai National Park is a national park in Thailand. It lies largely in Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Khorat), but also includes parts of Saraburi, Prachinburi and Nakhon Nayok provinces. It was the country's first national park, established on September 18, 1962. A major role in its establishment was done by Boonsong Lekakul, one of the 20th century's most famous conservationists in Thailand.

The park is the second largest in Thailand. It covers an area of 2,168 square kilometers, including evergreen forests and grasslands. Its altitude mostly ranges from 400 to 1000 m above sea level. There are 3,000 species of plants, 320 species of birds and 67 species of mammals, including Asiatic black bears, Asian elephants, gaur, tigers, gibbons, Indian sambar deer, Indian muntjac, dholes, and wild pigs. Its waterfalls include the 80 metre Haew Narok. Namtok Sarika is popular with the Thais.

Recent wildlife studies show that animal ranges, particularly the few resident tigers, are impacted by human activity near the center of the park. This study has not impacted the government's call for private lodging concessions within the park itself.

The park is often visited by travelers from Isan, Bangkok and beyond, for whom there are over 50km of hiking trails.

Whitepod Ski Resort

2010-01-03T11:35:00.000-08:00

The future of European ski resorts may well be found in five eight-foot-high white geodesic-dome tents perched 5,600 feet up a mountain in the Switzerland Alps. The tents are accessible only on foot or on skis. They have no plumbing or electricity, but each has a highly efficient wood stove and are grouped around a restored 19th-century farmhouse that has a solar shower and generator-powered electricity for just a few hours each day.

In such a trip guests will sleep in their tents on full-size beds, snuggled into sheepskin rugs and brushed cotton blankets, and sated on local wines, cheeses and produce like hand-gathered morels. Each dome has a wide window with an unobstructed view south toward Mont Blanc.

The right location of Whitepod is near Villars, an old-fashioned family-style ski resort southwest of Lake Geneva. Laced with streams, dotted with pines and ringed by the jagged tops of higher mountain ranges, it’s a quintessential Alpine ski spot.

But this resort is also in the list of the climate change ecosystems throughout the mountain range. Some scientist suggest that resorts at this altitude of Villars will no longer be sustainable ski areas in as little as 30 years.

Arriving at Whitepod means escaping your ordinary life in stages. The domes are surprisingly spacious inside, with room for an armchair and a bleached pine vanity, and pleasantly warm even as night falls. They’re also fully equipped with oil lamps, slippers, a neat stack of dry wood and an I-pod with tunes ranging from Britpop to Barry White.

Rates at Whitepod, $474 a person a night, which features all meals, ski passes, guides and transfers to and from Geneva’s airport. Dinners at Whitepod are made of locally obtained meats, cheese and vegetables, and served in the candlelit farmhouse kitchen, at a table with other guests. They’re accompanied by local wines, which are a pleasant surprise.

London Information


	The first and most significant thing to consider about London is its size - it's enormous. The country's capital, roughly forty miles from the coast, covers 625 square miles, has 33 local authorities, 5 main airports, 7 mainline stations and 13 underground tube lines. To fully appreciate the size of the city, consider this; if London was a country, it's population and economy would make it the sixth largest in Europe. The capital is divided north and south by the River Thames, London's first highway, which brought the trade and commerce that established London as a city. Apart from the river, the manner in which London is divided is fairly ill-defined. There are three central areas bordered roughly by the Circle Line underground; the West End - consisting mainly of Westminster, Covent Garden, Soho, Kensington and Knightsbridge; the East End - London's 'cockney' area; and the business sector of the 'square mile'.
