Kirimaya Golf Resort and Spa, Nakorn Ratchasima, North-East, Thailand

Opened in December 2004, Kirimaya is a high-end nature retreat just two hours from Bangkok and the first boutique luxury resort in Khao Yai ("Big Mountains"). Nestled at the edge of the revered Khao Yai National Park (soon to become a UNESCO world heritage site), the Kirimaya Experience includes the discovery of nature’s gifts, wellness spas, culinary adventures and the exhilarating challenge of an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The rich nature and cooler climes of Khao Yai make it a popular weekend resort for Bangkokians.

Khao Yai has very unique climate from November to February. Although day temperature is between 23-28 Cฐ, during the evening and night it can drop down to 11 Cฐ. Therefore, do add a sweater and long pants to your luggage.

Hardwood flooring. Bamboo daybeds. The most comfortable mattresses in Thailand.
