Golf Courses in River Kwai and Khao Yai

RIVER KWAI - about 2 ½ hours by car from Bangkok - is perfect for a side-trip off the beaten track. It offers numerous good attractions including a ride on the infamous ‘death train’ or on elephant back in an elephant camp.

That all is complemented by great natural beauty and excellent golf courses.

On the way up or down from/to Bangkok you can play ROSE GARDEN, a beautiful resort course, if you combine River Kwai with Hua Hin DRAGON HILLS - a Jack Nicklaus jewel - is on the way.

KHAO YAI NATIONAL PARK, located about 2 ½ hours northeast of Bangkok, is not only famous for its natural beauty, free roaming elephants but is now also the center of the Thai wine industry. Wine making in Thailand is still young but the products, mainly form Shiraz and Chenin Blanc grapes, become better by the year.

Khao Yai is also home of CHOKCHAI FARM where you find the best beef in Thailand and a couple of excellent and beautiful golf courses.

LIFE PRIVILEGE COUNTRY CLUB KHAO YAI (former Mission Hills Khao Yai)
Jack-Nicklaus-Course and when in good condition one of the best.

This is unfortunately not always the case, we have to check on condition case by case.    It has undergone extensive renovations so should be ok. But with BONANZA, FRIENDSHIP MEADOWS, ROYAL HILLS (Nicklaus but difficult to reach) and ROOKS KORAT there are enough alternatives.
