Grand Prix Golf Club
Grand Prix Golf Club opened in 2011 as one of the more distinctively themed layouts in Thailand. Designed by Prayard Chinnaraj and Prachin Eamlumnow, the course is built around a motorsport concept: each of the 18 holes carries the name of an automobile brand, and the golf carts are sports-rim buggies styled to match the theme. The course is located in Bo Phloi District, approximately 160 kilometres from Bangkok — about two hours by road. At 7,136 yards from the back tees over a par-72 layout, it offers a full-length challenge. Green fees are 1,600 THB on weekdays and 2,100 THB on weekends, with both caddie (400 THB) and cart (600 THB) compulsory. The club also operates a 50-room hotel on-site and offers night golf, making it a practical base for golfers who want a full overnight stay rather than a day trip.

Nichigo Resort & Country Club — now operating under the Artitaya Golf & Resort brand — is a 27-hole golf complex in Kanchanaburi Province, about 30 minutes north of Kanchanaburi city and roughly two and a half hours west of Bangkok. Designed by Japanese architect Mitsuaki Kobayashi and opened in 1992, the course is set along the banks of the River Kwai Yai in a scenic environment of tropical gardens, limestone hills, and mountain views. The three nine-hole loops — River, Lake, and Mountain — can be combined in any pairing for an 18-hole round, each offering a distinct character. The resort setting, historic River Kwai location, and Kobayashi's technically engaging design make Nichigo a popular choice for overnight golf trips combining the Kanchanaburi war cemeteries and Bridge on the River Kwai with quality golf.
