Incredibly, the lush quietude of Kirimaya Golf Spa Resort sits just beyond the neon circus of Bangkok. Championship holes on the edge of Khao Yai National Park - designed by Nicklaus, enjoyed by you.
EXPERIENCE
When the non-stop excitement of Bangkok finally overwhelms you and you need to recharge, Kirimaya Golf Spa Resort is a luxurious yet low-key option waiting for you just a few hours outside the city.
On the outskirts of Khao Yai National Park, Kirimaya basks in its protective shadow, visited only by its wandering birds and beasts. Here, you can choose within a wide selection of slow, sedentary, but still stimulating activities, including golf, hiking, massage, and stargazing skies with a beauty you'll never have seen before.
Kirimaya's 18-hole golf course, designed and still doted upon by sports legend Jack Nicklaus, stretches more than 7,000 yards in a single-track layout, and is entirely surrounded by gorgeous tropical forest. Sports seclusion at its best.
Before any muscle tension sets in after a day on the course, head to the treatment rooms of the Maya Spa, where your body will be warmed by vigorous Thai massage before being cooled in the outdoor pool.
LOCATION
Kirimaya Golf Spa Resort is just a few miles away from the entrance to Khao Yai National Park, and as you expect, is thickly cushioned on all sides by tropical rainforest. The resort is surprisingly easy to get to coming in from Bangkok, though it does require slightly over two hours of driving. However, you can also opt for taking the train or bus to Pak Chong, which is only a few minutes' cab ride away.
