Why Golfing in Thailand
 One of the world's leading tourism destinations, Thailand is a land of secrets and surprises for everyone to discover and enjoy. Visitors who love challenging, adventurous outdoor activities will find much to satisfy their desires here, and if golf is high on your list, then it is definitely for you, because the Kingdom is renowned as Asia's most popular golfing destination. Golf has been played in Thailand for almost a century with games recorded at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club as early as 1905. Over the years, Thailand has greeted millions of tourists to experience the beautiful scenery as well as welcomed golfers around the world to tee-off and swing on the superb courses nationwide. For the reason "Why golfing in Thailand?" There are 9 unveil reasons to broaden you.  1. Value for Money Thailand provides tremendous value in all the areas that really matter to visiting golfers. From the wide range of hotel accommodation and golf, to shopping in local markets or high-class department stores, to the breadth of dining options and nightlife, as well as travelling in Thailand is remarkably cheap for the quality provided. This sort of value, this saving, can often enable the upgrade from a short trip to a weeklong adventure - or maybe it's the difference between going on a golf holiday and not going at all. 2. The Weather In the cool season, from November to February, the Thai climate is without any peers. Light breezes, constant sunshine, great conditions for a golfing holiday - great conditions for pretty much any sort of outdoor activity (even non-activities, like lying on a tranquil beach reading a book). Even in the summer months, the "green" season, when it gets a bit warmer, the golfing conditions are perfectly acceptable. Here's an insider's tip for holiday-makers who want the best of both worlds, good weather and good prices: In the middle of the "green" season, during the months of June, July, and August, southwest winds from the Indian Ocean bring rain-laden clouds that produce heavy downpours almost like clockwork practically every afternoon. For the real golfing enthusiast, the predictable afternoon rain is easily dealt with: Play in the morning, which is the preferred tee time anyway. Moreover, not only is morning golf a certainty, the best bargains for green fees and accommodation are to be had this time of year. As a final bonus, there are hardly any other golfers on the courses, or at the hotels, during this time period, which insures 4-hour rounds and personalised services at your selected hotel. 3. The Courses The golf itself is the main reason golf enthusiasts travel to a premier golf destination, and with layouts designed by Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones II, Nick Faldo, Pete Dye, and Greg Norman, you will not be disappointed in Thailand. In addition, there are dozens of top quality courses from Thai and Japanese architects who might not boast household names across Europe and North America, but you will never forget the golf they have created here. Golf development is taking place all over the Asia-Pacific region, but many "emerging destinations" have only a handful of international standard courses. There are more than 200 courses located throughout Thailand with new ones opening every year ensuring an embarrassment of riches for the visiting golfer.  |
 4. The Locations Even a golf course architect will tell you that ultimately it's the landscape that makes a golf course attractive, challenging and memorable. Thailand is a beautiful country that offers an amazing spectrum of physical environments. It only follows that the courses are equally diverse and spectacular. From the bustling capital city of Bangkok, to the beautiful mountainous countryside of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.... From the stunning beaches in Phuket and Ko Samui, to the bright lights and amazing nightlife of Pattaya... From the quieter seaside town of Hua Hin, to the waterfalls and stunning scenery of Khao Yai... Thailand has an amazing assortment of golf courses thanks to an extraordinary diversity of landscapes. 5. The Infrastructure Many first-time visitors are surprised to find that Thailand has created for itself and its guests a thoroughly modern, first-world travel infrastructure. Yes, the traffic in downtown Bangkok can get a little heavy at times, as it can in any major metropolis. But all the cities in Thailand, all the golf centres, are connected by modern highway systems that facilitate easy, efficient travel. Thailand is not a small country. It's nearly 1,000 kilometres from Chiang Mai in the north to Phuket in the south. Accordingly, domestic flights are numerous and very affordable. Which help assure the travelling golfer a top quality holiday. 6. The Caddies A unique and truly memorable part of playing golf in Thailand. Predominantly female, Thai caddies provide a level service that will stun many first-time visitors - it must be the best value for money anywhere in the golfing world. Greeting you upon arrival at the clubhouse, Thai caddies take care of everything before you tee off. They will guide you around the course. They will give you distances to the green, mark your ball, rake your bunkers, read your putts and cool you down when the sun gets a bit hot. Through it all, smiles and good cheer. 7. The Accommodation No matter where you are staying in Thailand, you can find accommodation to meet your budget. From stunning 5-star hotels to modest Thai-style bungalows, Thailand is truly set up to cater to the broadest possible tourist market. Every international hotel brand is represented here, but this option is complemented beautifully by hundreds of superb 4-star properties, individually owned boutique hotels, even the rustic beachfront hut, on stilts, that you've always pictured in your mind's eye, where the sounds of gently lapping surf puts you to sleep each night. 8. The People & Attractions The Thai people are known to be some of the friendliest in the world, and I can personally vouch for this fact. Always with a smile on their faces (it's not called the 'Land of Smiles' for nothing), they are very welcoming toward visitors. And there is so much to do outside golf you will be spoilt for choice. From visiting amazing temples and shrines, to poking around local night markets and street stalls selling everything imaginable, Thailand is at once magnificent and grand, offbeat and surprising. Stunning beaches, beautiful waterfalls and mountains, international calibre shopping malls, world-class spas, boat trips to idyllic islands, elephant trekking... The list is endless, and the people make it all warm and welcoming. 9. The Food We've talked about value for money, and that certainly holds when it comes to dining out in Thailand. But the cuisine is exquisite in and of itself, a truly mesmerising fusion of Asian, Indian and Western influences. There are so many variations on these themes, it's sort of difficult to describe. Suffice to say, there is a huge variety in choice, style and spice when it comes to the local cuisine - and that varies depending on where you might be in the country. |
