Your morning begins with a seamless transfer to the airport for a short flight to Chiang Mai, the cultural capital of Northern Thailand. Golf Journeys has arranged a flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai inclusive of baggage allowance for suitcase and golf clubs. Upon arrival, a VIP luxury transfer awaits to whisk you through the scenic city streets to your 5-star sanctuary: the InterContinental Chiang Mai Mae Ping.

Located in the heart of Chiang Mai, this prestigious property is where Lanna heritage meets contemporary luxury. From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by warm smiles and the sweet scent of fresh jasmine. Step into the grand lobby, where traditional Lanna craftsmanship shines in intricate wood carvings, elegant lanterns, and handwoven textiles—every detail a nod to Chiang Mai’s storied history.

Your spacious room is a haven of elegance and comfort, featuring plush bedding, sleek modern design, and curated Thai accents. Large windows offer stunning views of either the historic Wat Chang Kong Temple, the Ping River, or the city’s lush hills, depending on your room choice. As you settle in, perhaps sip on a cool herbal drink delivered as part of the warm Thai welcome.

Feel the quiet luxury as you soak in the tranquil pool, unwind at the award-winning spa, or simply relax on your balcony, taking in the rhythmic sounds of Chiang Mai. The InterContinental Chiang Mai doesn’t just offer luxury—it immerses you in a sense of place, blending modern comforts with authentic Thai charm.

In the evening, step into Chiang Mai’s cultural soul with a traditional Khan Toke Dinner. Seated on plush cushions beneath a pavilion aglow with lantern light, you’ll savor Northern Thai dishes like crispy fried chicken, green chili dips, and fragrant sticky rice. As you dine, graceful Lanna dancers take to the stage, their movements telling stories of the region’s rich traditions. It’s an evening that celebrates the sights, sounds, and flavors of Chiang Mai—a perfect first glimpse into the magic of the north.
