Chiang Mai Golf Travel Information

Chiang Mai (Chiangmai) or ‘Rose of the North’ as it is affectionately called, is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand. Located 700 km north of Bangkok, in a fertile valley between the highest mountains in the country, it takes one hour to reach Chiang Mai from Bangkok by air. The hospitality of its people and their unique unhurried lifestyle are well appreciated by golf visitors from the world over.

Chiang Mai is filled with various spas, shopping opportunities, and gourmets can feast on tasty local Lanna cuisine. Chiang Mai night life, while more relaxed than Bangkok or Pattaya, is another attraction that draws many international golfers. Chiang Mai offers an unbelievable choice from integrated golf resorts to boutique hotels.
