Wild Elephant watching @ Kui Buri

Please enable javascript in your browser to book

Kui Buri National Park is located next to one of the largest national parks of the country, Kaeng Krachan. Both parks are rich in flora and fauna and offer habitat to animals like the tiger, elephant, gaur, deer, porcupine, monkey, wild boar and an incredible number of bird species.

The animal experience is great – and entirely in the animals’ natural habitat.

You get close to the Elephants but still at a safe distance, and experience the big wild asian elephants as they slowly drift out of the woods, eat large amounts of bamboo or take a cool mud bath.

There are only a few hundred wild elephants left in Thailand and Kuiburi National Park has the greatest concentration in the whole Kingdom.

Kuiburi is also the only national park in Thailand, where you are almost certain to see the majestic giants thanks to the park´s open areas, lookouts and natural waterholes.

However, as the Elephant live in the wild, we can never guarantee you see the elephants. But the chances are extremely good.

Along the way through the park you will also be able to spot other wildlife. Perhaps you are lucky to see the Rhinoceros, the Gaur-bull, also called the Indian Bison which is the largest present ox species, monkeys, deer or even leopards?

Your guide will tell you about plants and wildlife in the park along the way.
In the late afternoon we will leave the park and return to Hua Hin where it is expected we arrive between 5 – 6 PM.

The course’s design incorporates various angles into the green, providing a visually striking and challenging experience for golfers of all skill levels.

Katathong Golf Resort & Spa, Phang Nga

Nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Phang Nga province, Katathong Golf Resort & Spa offers an unparalleled golfing experience set against the backdrop of former tin mining grounds. Located about an hour’s drive from Phuket, this mountainous course boasts breathtaking vistas, original rainforests, and a glimpse of endangered species in nearby national parks.

Originally a tin mine dating back to the 15th century, Katathong’s transformation into a golf course began in 2010, making use of the abandoned mining site. Authentic remnants of the mining days, including machinery and equipment, are scattered throughout the course, adding a unique charm to the experience.

With its fairways following the natural contours of the land, Katathong offers challenging yet rewarding play. Narrow fairways demand precision over distance, while par-3 holes feature dramatic elevation changes, adding to the excitement of each shot. The course’s greens, mostly flat with subtle breaks, provide an additional layer of challenge, with some featuring multiple tiers.

Among the standout holes is the par-5 fourth, where players navigate hazards on both sides of the fairway before tackling a challenging approach shot to the green. Another highlight is the signature par-3 tenth, requiring a precise shot from an elevated tee to a small island green—a test of skill and nerve for any golfer.

For those seeking picturesque moments, the 16th hole offers a stunning tee shot across one of the old open cast tin mines, capturing the essence of the region’s history. The clubhouse, designed in the local Sino-Portuguese style and adorned with mining memorabilia, provides a comfortable retreat after a round of golf.

Additional facilities include putting and chipping areas for practice, while carts are mandatory due to the area’s hot and humid climate. The resort also features a meditation center centered around a majestic red sandstone sitting Buddha—a perfect spot for relaxation and reflection.

While Katathong Golf Resort & Spa may be a bit of a drive from Phuket, it offers a refreshing change of pace for golfers seeking stunning scenery and a memorable golfing experience in Thailand’s serene landscapes. Whether you’re staying in nearby Khao Lak, Krabi, or Phang Nha, Katathong promises a day of unforgettable golfing adventures.

North Hill Chiang Mai Golf

The North Hill Golf Club was formerly a 9-hole private course which opened for play in 2011. In 2014, the Chiang Mai tract expanded to 18-holes and the following year opened for visitor play.

With breathtaking views of Doi Suthep, players can immerse themselves in the surroundings. The relatively flat layout makes it ideal for beginners, conveniently situated near Chiang Mai city center and the airport. Rated as a par 72 course, North Hill Golf Club is a solid choice.

The stylish clubhouse is also a nice touch, albeit a little smaller than most other Chiang Mai golf courses. Facilities include bar, restaurant, spa, fitness center, driving range, and pro-shop. Attentive and informative staff and caddies cater to all golfers needs.

The top draw at North Hill is the excellent golf course maintenance, and for this reason alone it is one of the best golf experiences in Chiang Mai.

Insiders Tip: Try the on-site restaurant after a round at North Hill. It’s worthy of a Michelin Star!
