Phuket & Chiang Mai Golf Paradise — 10 Days / 9 Nights

DAY 1 – ARRIVE IN BANGKOK | CITY STOPOVER

Land at Suvarnabhumi International Airport and transfer to your hotel in central Bangkok. After settling in, take an evening boat ride along the Chao Phraya River — the city’s lifeblood — past glittering temples and riverside communities as the skyline lights up after dark. Dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Bangkok cityscape — a fitting welcome to Thailand before flying south tomorrow.

DAY 2 – FLIGHT TO PHUKET | ROUND 1 AT RED MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB

Fly to Phuket in the morning and transfer directly to the course. Red Mountain Golf Club is the most visually dramatic layout on the island — carved from the jagged terrain of a former tin mine, with crimson laterite rock formations, deep ravines, lush jungle, and sweeping views across Phuket’s hilly interior. No two holes play the same; every tee shot demands a different strategy, and the par-3s are among the most photographed in Southeast Asia. After your round, transfer to your beachfront resort.

DAY 3 – PHUKET | ROUND 2 AT BLUE CANYON COUNTRY CLUB

An early morning tee time at Blue Canyon Country Club — host of the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1994 and 1998. The Canyon Course is the signature layout: dramatic ravines, mature trees overhanging the fairways, and a finishing stretch along a natural canyon that has ended many a promising scorecard. Return to the resort for a long afternoon on the beach. Phuket’s Andaman Coast delivers some of Thailand’s clearest waters and most vivid sunsets.

DAY 4 – PHUKET | ROUND 3 AT LAGUNA PHUKET GOLF CLUB

Morning round at Laguna Phuket Golf Club, set within the iconic Laguna integrated resort complex on Phuket’s Bang Tao Beach. The course winds through coconut palms, over water features, and alongside the lagoon that gives the resort its name. It rewards accuracy and course management over raw distance — an enjoyable test for all handicap levels. In the evening, join a traditional Thai cooking class or explore the Laguna Night Market.

DAY 5 – PHUKET | FREE DAY & ISLAND EXPLORATION

A rest day between the Phuket and Chiang Mai legs — no golf, no schedule. Options include a day trip by speedboat to the Phi Phi Islands or Phang Nga Bay, a Thai massage and spa day at the resort, or simply a long morning on the beach with a good book. Evening transfer to Phuket International Airport for your night flight to Chiang Mai.

DAY 6 – ARRIVE IN CHIANG MAI | HIGHLAND WELCOME

Arrive in Chiang Mai in the early morning and transfer to your boutique resort in the hills north of the city. The afternoon is intentionally unhurried: explore the walled Old City at your own pace — ancient temples, night bazaars taking shape by dusk. Dinner at a restaurant specializing in khao soi — Chiang Mai’s iconic coconut curry noodle soup — and sai ua, the aromatic northern Thai sausage found only in this region.

DAY 7 – CHIANG MAI | ROUND 4 AT CHIANG MAI HIGHLANDS GOLF & SPA RESORT

The flagship round of the northern Thailand leg. Chiang Mai Highlands Golf & Spa Resort is a 27-hole championship complex set in the mountains at 900 metres above sea level — consistently ranked among the top 10 courses in Thailand. The cooler mountain air, manicured bentgrass fairways, and panoramic highland views create an entirely different atmosphere from the tropical resort golf of Phuket. A spa treatment at the resort after your round makes for a deeply restorative afternoon.

DAY 8 – CHIANG MAI | ROUND 5 AT ALPINE GOLF RESORT CHIANG MAI

A morning round at Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai, a scenic parkland course threading through rice paddies and fruit orchards on the outskirts of the city. The layout is gentler in character — wide, tree-lined fairways and receptive greens — making it an ideal round for players who want to score well before the trip ends. Afternoon free for last-minute shopping at Chiang Mai’s famous Sunday Walking Street or Warorot Market. A final group dinner in the evening at a northern Thai restaurant set in a traditional teak house.

DAY 9 – CHIANG MAI | ELEPHANT SANCTUARY & CULTURAL FAREWELL

The clubs are packed away for the final full day — a morning visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary in the hills outside Chiang Mai, where guests can walk alongside, feed, and observe the elephants in a responsible, no-riding environment. One of the most moving experiences Thailand offers. Evening transfer to Chiang Mai International Airport for your onward flight.

DAY 10 – DEPARTURE

For those overnighting in Bangkok: a final morning to explore Chatuchak Weekend Market, the Grand Palace, or Wat Pho’s famous reclining Buddha before your international departure from Suvarnabhumi Airport. Optional extension: 3 nights in Koh Samui or Krabi.
