If you haven’t been to the Khao Yai area recently you will be surprised at some of the impressive new developments. By the end of the year we will have a walking street shopping and eating area called Palio next to the well known Juladis resort. With dozens of shops and restaurants it promises to be a real landmark of the area. Much of the space has already been booked in advance as this map of the center from early October 2009 shows.

It looks like it will give a big boost to the local restaurant scene. We have a number of good restaurants already in the area (see Local Eats) and now we will have even more variety. Some nicer services will be moving into Palio, including a nail salon some interesting boutiques.
The architecture is interesting and is strikingly similar to Primo Posto. That is no accident because the owner of Primo Posto is a partner with Juladis on the Palio development.
