A Khaem Son resort with its own terrain
Imperial Phukaew Hill Resort is at 99 Moo 14 on the Phitsanulok–Lom Sak Road in Khaem Son. The current Imperial hotel group website identifies the property, while Traveloka corroborates the address and lists a restaurant, pool, garden and parking. These facilities describe a resort stay; they do not place it inside Thung Salaeng Luang.
A trip to the Nong Mae Na grassland unit is a separate road journey. The resort is better considered as part of a wider Khao Kho itinerary than as a substitute for accommodation or permission inside the park. Its hillside and the selected room location matter to the night itself.
Space and outlook are recurring strengths
A June 2025 Trip.com Panorama Superior family guest praised the room, scenery, breakfast and staff. A May 2025 Panorama Executive family also liked the room space and welcome while describing the property as older. These are category-specific visits, not assurances that all rooms share the same view or condition.
An August 2025 Panorama Executive couple described a mix of bungalows and multi-storey accommodation, generous rooms, garden walks and a large pool. The same guest found breakfast hot dishes insufficiently warm. Someone comparing room photographs should therefore check the actual building and category, rather than choose on the overall resort landscape alone.
Slopes and older fittings are the trade-offs
An April 2025 Panorama Superior Upper View family reported cooling, hot-water adjustment and cleanliness problems. Other 2025 guests were positive about upkeep. These differing experiences should remain separate: neither the complaints nor the compliments establish the condition of a room now.
A Traveloka guest also described steps to breakfast and a need for buggy transfers after parking. The page displays a relative review age, and the exact stay date is not supplied. Travellers with limited mobility should establish the route from parking to their particular room and restaurant rather than assume that a resort shuttle eliminates every step.
Choose a hillside holiday, not a guaranteed park transfer
The appeal is a spacious, planted hillside property where the grounds and outlook can occupy part of the day. Its compromises are equally physical: room position, walking gradients and differing generations of accommodation. Confirm those details for the booked category, particularly for a family travelling with older relatives.
The pool and mountain setting do not guarantee good weather or access to a protected-area trail. Keep the resort stay and the park excursion as separate decisions, with the correct park unit and onward vehicle arranged independently.
