Thailand has some of the best golf courses in Southeast Asia complimented by friendly staff and exceptional facilities. With over 150 courses available, Exotissimo has selected the very best from Bangkok, Chiang Mai and the royal beach resort of Hua Hin. These destinations let you enjoy not only world-class golf but also the most intriguing cultural sights in the country alongside five-star accommodation.

Starting the tour in Bangkok, you will visit the Grand Royal Palace's golden splendor before taking to the fairways of the Thai Country Club. Constructed from grass imported from Hawaii, the vivid greenery and beautiful fauna make a fantastic setting, complimented by a notoriously luxurious clubhouse.

Departing Bangkok, we head north for the laid-back cultural heartland of Thailand, Chiang Mai. The Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club is an awe-inspiring setting with views over the northern mountains and a Schmidt-Curley designed course said to have the country's best greens.

With three different courses on offer the club has more than enough to entertain even the most avid of golfers.

Before departing the tour, enjoy one final day at your own leisure and soak in Hua Hin's peaceful and chique atmosphere.
