Imagine teeing off on a shimmering green under Bangkok’s wide sky, water glinting on both sides of the fairway and a gentle breeze whispering through the palms. That’s the feeling you get at Royal Bang Pa-In Golf Club. Located just north of Bangkok in Ayutthaya Province, this championship-level parkland layout was crafted by Schmidt-Curley Design to transform flat marsh and rice-paddy terrain into one of Thailand’s most dramatic golf experiences.

From the very first drive you sense the strategy built into the course: wide fairways give way to bold undulating greens, sand and water reach in from both sides, and the finishing holes demand both courage and finesse. The clubhouse stands out too — modern and spacious, with full-service locker rooms, a premium pro-shop and dining that overlooks the final holes.
