Gassan Khuntan Hotel
Chiang Mai
Gassan Khuntan Hotel is a brilliant option for golfers looking for a peaceful stay-and-play experience in northern Thailand. Set within Gassan Khuntan Golf & Resort in Lamphun, the hotel sits surrounded by lakes, fairways and mountain scenery, with Doi Khuntan National Park providing a spectacular backdrop. For us, it is a great alternative to staying in central Chiang Mai if the priority is golf, relaxation and having everything you need in one place.
The accommodation is designed around the setting, with comfortable rooms offering plenty of natural light and many featuring balconies overlooking the surrounding golf course, gardens, lakes or mountains. The style is simple and relaxed rather than overly formal, which suits the atmosphere of the resort perfectly. After a day on the course, you have everything you need to switch off without having to travel elsewhere.
The biggest attraction is having Gassan Khuntan Golf Course directly on the doorstep. Golfers have 27 holes to choose from across three separate nine-hole loops: the White Bridge Course, River Course and Mountain Course. Each has a different character, allowing you to combine the nines in different ways and enjoy plenty of variety during a multi-round stay.
The scenery is one of the things that really stands out. Fairways sit between lakes, rivers and the surrounding mountains, creating a golf experience that feels far removed from Thailand's busier resort areas. Being able to wake up, have breakfast and head straight onto the course makes Gassan Khuntan particularly appealing for groups who want golf to be the main focus of their trip.
Away from the fairways, the resort has an outdoor swimming pool, gym and Thai massage facilities, giving you plenty of ways to relax between rounds. There is also a clubhouse, Pro Shop and restaurant serving Thai and international dishes, so you can comfortably spend several days here without needing to leave the resort.
If you do want to explore, Doi Khuntan National Park is nearby and offers trekking, mountain scenery and a completely different side of northern Thailand. Chiang Mai is also within reach, making it possible to combine a quieter golf stay at Gassan Khuntan with a few nights enjoying the city's markets, restaurants, temples and nightlife.
We think Gassan Khuntan Hotel works particularly well for golfers who want convenience, good value and plenty of golf in a peaceful setting.

About The Area
Chiang Mai offers one of Thailand’s most scenic and culturally rich golf destinations, set against a backdrop of forested mountains in the country’s northern highlands. Cooler than Bangkok and Pattaya, and far more relaxed in pace, it combines championship golf with temples, night markets and a strong sense of traditional Thai heritage.
One of the region’s flagship venues is Alpine Golf Resort Chiang Mai, a championship layout set among rolling hills and natural water features. Known for its immaculate conditioning, dramatic bunkering and elevated tees, it offers a visually striking and strategic test. Nearby, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf & Spa Resort consistently ranks among Thailand’s top courses. Its wide fairways, large greens and mountain-framed holes create a memorable round that balances playability with challenge. Summit Green Valley Chiang Mai Country Club adds further variety, with a flatter, tree-lined layout closer to the city centre.
Golf in Chiang Mai is defined by lush presentation, attentive caddie service and cooler morning temperatures compared to southern Thailand. The terrain is more undulating, and mountain views are a constant feature. The prime golf season runs from November to February, when humidity is lower and conditions are comfortably warm.
Off the course, Chiang Mai is renowned for its historic Old City, surrounded by ancient walls and moats. Ornate temples such as Wat Phra Singh and Wat Chedi Luang provide cultural depth, while the bustling Night Bazaar offers street food and local crafts. For rest days, excursions into the surrounding mountains, elephant sanctuaries and scenic waterfalls provide memorable alternatives.
For golfers seeking high-quality championship courses combined with cooler climates, mountain scenery and rich cultural immersion, Chiang Mai delivers one of Thailand’s most distinctive and rewarding golf escapes.
