The Khao Yai region, home to Thailand's first UNESCO World Heritage national park, offers golf in one of the country's most dramatic natural settings. Kirimaya Golf Resort is the flagship — an 18-hole layout designed by Gary Player, set in the foothills of the Khao Yai mountains and part of an integrated luxury eco-resort.
Mountain Creek Golf Resort and Khao Yai Golf Club provide additional options. The region is about 2.5 hours northeast of Bangkok, making it a popular weekend escape that combines golf with wine tours (the area is Thailand's leading wine-producing region) and wildlife spotting.
