The Best of Bangkok

The HK Golfer Guide to Golf in the City of Angels

HK Golfer’s Hotel of Choice

Bangkok is home to some of the most highly-rated hotels on the planet, but it’s hard to imagine there’s any where finer than the Peninsula. Occupying an excellent location on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Thonburi, close to the Sathorn Bridge, each of the Peninsula’s 370 luxuriously-appointed guestrooms and suites offer commanding views of the city and are the perfect haven for the discerning traveller. Having the hotel’s plethora of first-class leisure amenities, including the award-winning Peninsula Spa, at their disposal, golfers are especially well catered and are given preferential rates at the Peninsula’s sister property, the Thai Country Club.
