Somerset Pattaya
Pattaya
Located in the heart of Pattaya near Central Festival and Beach Road, Somerset Pattaya offers a modern, upscale stay with a strong serviced-apartment feel. It’s ideal for those who want a more contemporary and spacious base while still being right in the centre of everything.
The accommodation is one of the standout features, with well-designed studios and apartments that include kitchenettes and separate living areas in many room types. It’s particularly well suited to longer stays or golf groups who want a bit more space and flexibility compared to a standard hotel room.
Facilities are modern and well thought out, including a rooftop swimming pool with city and sea views, a fitness centre and family-friendly areas. The rooftop space in particular gives it a more premium, lifestyle feel compared to many mid-range options in Pattaya.
From a golf perspective, Somerset works extremely well as a base. You’re within easy reach of top courses such as Siam Country Club, Phoenix Gold, Burapha and Pattana, while having immediate access to shopping, restaurants and nightlife on your doorstep.
Overall, Somerset Pattaya sits in that “modern premium” category — offering more space, newer facilities and a slightly higher-end feel, without moving fully into luxury resort pricing.

About The Area
Hua Hin has long been regarded as Thailand’s original seaside golf resort, combining royal heritage, relaxed coastal charm and one of the strongest clusters of championship courses in Southeast Asia. Located around three hours south of Bangkok, it offers a more refined and tranquil alternative to Pattaya while still delivering tournament-level golf.
The flagship venue is Black Mountain Golf Club, consistently ranked among Asia’s top courses. With dramatic rock formations, natural water hazards and immaculate conditioning, it has hosted multiple international tournaments and offers a true championship test. Nearby, Banyan Golf Club Hua Hin delivers panoramic mountain views, strategic bunkering and a memorable closing stretch that rewards precise approach play. Springfield Royal Country Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus, provides further variety with tree-lined fairways and a slightly more forgiving layout.
Golf in Hua Hin is characterised by wide fairways, bold bunkering and superb presentation. Caddie service is standard and enhances the premium feel, while practice facilities are strong across most clubs. The dry season from November to March offers the most comfortable playing conditions, with warm temperatures and lower humidity.
Off the course, Hua Hin maintains a relaxed seaside atmosphere. The night market is a highlight, offering fresh seafood and authentic Thai street food. Beachfront bars provide sunset views over the Gulf of Thailand, while nearby vineyards and national parks add scenic rest-day options. The town’s royal connections — including the historic Klai Kangwon Palace — give it a more understated and elegant feel compared to other Thai resort areas.
For golfers seeking elite championship layouts, dependable winter sunshine and a more relaxed coastal environment, Hua Hin delivers one of Thailand’s most complete and enjoyable golf escapes.
