If you’re right now thinking a-go-go girls and walking streets, stop. Don’t get me wrong, Khao Yai’s a great place but not like that. With its gentle climate, beautiful national park and awesome waterfalls during rainy season, it’s a hit with visitors. The entire area is filled with little enclaves of attraction, much like film sets in Hollywood, except that they are actual places to visit, restaurants to dine in and hotels to stay at; it is kind of like a world within a world, with cowboys and horses astride waterparks, a hobbit’s lair and Tuscan village.
Our first stop was to Sir James Resort and Country Club in the Mauklek district. Named after Sir James Richard Holt, who survived a spell in an internment camp during the Second World War, the resort boasts a hilly 18-hole golf course as well as an adjoining hotel.
Designed by John Rogers, the golf course undulates through the land and the famous mountain ranges that provide a picturesque backdrop, especially for its signature par 5 14th hole; a straight downhill covering 560 yards from the pro tees with water and bunkers guarding the green.
