Mövenpick Suriwongse Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai
Right in the heart of Chiang Mai’s Night Bazaar district, Mövenpick Suriwongse is one of those hotels where location does most of the heavy lifting. Step outside and you’re straight into markets, street food and local life, while the Old Town and main cultural sights are all within walking distance.
The hotel itself blends a more traditional Lanna-style feel with modern comfort. It’s not ultra-contemporary like some newer properties, but it’s spacious, well laid out and designed to give you a proper sense of place. Rooms are generous in size, many with city views, and work well for both short stays and longer golf trips.
Facilities cover everything you need without overcomplicating things. There’s a rooftop pool with views across the city, multiple dining options including Thai and international cuisine, plus spa treatments and fitness facilities. It’s the kind of hotel where you can relax after a round but still feel connected to the city.
From a golf perspective, it’s a really practical base. You’re within easy reach of courses like North Hill, Alpine Chiang Mai and Chiang Mai Highlands, making it ideal for mixing golf with Chiang Mai’s more laid-back, cultural atmosphere. Overall, it’s a great all-round option — strong location, good space and easy to build a trip around.

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.
