The Bayview Hotel Pattaya
Pattaya
Located just a short walk from Pattaya Beach, The Bayview Hotel offers a well-balanced stay combining central convenience with a relaxed, resort-style feel. Positioned close to Beach Road and Central Festival, it’s ideal if you want everything within easy reach without being right in the middle of the noise.
The hotel is set within landscaped gardens, giving it a slightly more spacious and peaceful atmosphere compared to many city-centre properties. Rooms are modern and comfortable, with options ranging from city views to sea-facing rooms, making it suitable for both short stays and longer golf trips.
Facilities are strong across the board, including two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness centre and on-site dining options. The pool areas in particular add to the appeal, offering a place to unwind between rounds or after a day exploring Pattaya.
From a golf perspective, it’s a very practical base. You’re within easy reach of top courses such as Siam Country Club, Phoenix Gold, Burapha and Pattana, while still being close to restaurants, bars and shopping for evenings.
Overall, The Bayview sits comfortably in the mid-to-upper range category — offering a step up in feel from budget hotels while still maintaining strong value and a great location.

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.
