Waterford Valley, Chiang Rai

Northern Thailand

Ideal for a golf holiday, with its long mountain ranges, wide valleys and spectacular jungle scenery within easy reach of culture rich cities. It has pleasant weather year-round because of the altitude it’s a little cooler than other regions. The regional capital of Chiang Mai, 480 miles from Bangkok, has the biggest number of golf courses, most with magnificent views of surrounding hills and valleys. Chiang Rai, three hours drive further north, has two championship courses in picturesque settings. (Click Here)

Mission Hills GC., Khao Yai

Bangkok and Surroundings

Bangkok has many courses, but it is the city itself that provides the main reason for a stay. (Click Here)

However, near Khao Yai National Park, about two and half hours drive north east of Bangkok Airport there are a number of beautiful (courses) and we recommend three in particular. All are scenic, well maintained and interesting to play. For those staying nearby the (Kirimaya Resort and Spa) is well situated in beautiful countryside about two miles from the entrance to the park. Day trips are available to explore the park and it’s wildlife, locally and from Bangkok (Click Here)
