Outdoor Activities in Bangkok

Renowned golf course architect Ron M. Garl set out to create a hilly golf course amid fresh air, beautiful lakes and dazzling tree-lined scenery. Mission accomplished. Bangkok's Alpine Golf Club is one of Asia's finest man-made, hilly championship golf courses. This private trip includes round-trip transportation between Bangkok hotels and Alpine Golf Club, plus greens fee, cart and caddy fees for 18 holes.

Falling coconuts, papaya groves, Buddhist temples, nine-foot-long pythons and miles of bike-friendly elevated sidewalks snaking through the jungle: Welcome to Bang Krachao, a smog-free, government-protected oasis of green that the mighty Chao Phraya River wraps around.This verdant island is all the more remarkable because it is across the river from Bangkok. The contrast between "Bangkok's Green Lung," as the palm-choked, lung-shaped Bang Krachao is known, and the concrete jungle on the opposite bank could not be more striking.
