Short answer: Khao Yai stays are spread along Thanarat Road (the route up to the park). Stay in Pak Chong town for convenience, the train station and cheaper rooms; along the Thanarat Road strip for resorts, cafés, wineries and easy park access; or near the park entrance for quiet nature. You really want a car here.
