Apart from the scenic beauty of the golf course, the golfers from Malaysia are also looking forward to experiencing the local cuisine, Dr Pramote explained.
The Royal Hua Hin Golf Course is gearing up to welcome a large number of golfers from Malaysia between April and August this year.
The golfers will arrive in groups, flying into Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport before taking the train to Hua Hin.
The news comes after representatives from the golf course recently attended the Amazing Thailand Golf Networking Event in Kuala Lumpur which was organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) and Prachuap Kiri Khan & Phetchaburi Golf Course Association.
The seafood in Hua Hin is especially famous, and golfers will have the opportunity to taste some of the freshest and most delicious seafood available in Thailand. Additionally, the local festivals held in Hua Hin are another draw for the golfers. These festivals are a great opportunity for the golfers to experience the local culture and to learn more about the customs and traditions of the region, Dr Pramote added.
The Royal Hua Hin Golf Course is a historic golf course that is renowned for its charm and beauty.
It was the first standard golf course in Thailand and was built in 1924 by A.O. Robins, a British railway engineer. The golf course has a rich history and was also the site of the first golf tournament held in the kingdom.
King Rama VI presided over the opening on June 28, 1924 (with 9 holes), and in 1927, the course was expanded to 18 holes.
The course is now 99 years old and is a firm favourite among golfers from around the world who visit Hua Hin.
Meanwhile, the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course will also host a major golf tournament in April.
The Royal Hua Hin Thailand Championship 2023 by MENA Tour will be held between April 24-27, with golfers competing for USD75,000 in prize money.
Since its launch in 2011, the MENA Tour has been organizing 54-hole golf events primarily in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, and it serves as a stepping stone for players aspiring to join the Asian Tour and Asian Development Tour.
Since 2016, the Dubai-based golf tour has been recognized by the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
In 2022, the MENA Tour and LIV Golf Invitational events announced a strategic alliance, which allows LIV Golf to become a part of and sanctioned by the MENA Tour.
This partnership will enhance the MENA Tour’s development programs and instantly qualify LIV Golf for OWGR points.
