Teeing off in Thailand Thailand has developed as one of the world’s best all year round golf package locations. There are over 200 high standard golf courses throughout the country with many of them up to championship standards. The result is some of the most attractive courses in Asia, with excellent facilities, memorable signature holes and regular maintenance to keep them in top-class condition. Every course has its caddies; it’s mandatory to employ one caddie for your round. They are Thailand’s secret weapon in making golf such good fun. These brightly clad ladies, in smart uniforms and straw hats, know lots about the course, smile almost all the time, and are very good at reading the greens.

There are at least a few courses in or within easy reach of all major tourism centres....Asia Escape Holidays can offer rates for Golf Courses in: Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai and even Koh Samui! Prices start from $90 per person (including green fees, caddy fees, hotel to golf course return transfers)

The best time to plan a golfing trip The cooler season, from November to March is recommended. From April to October it is hot and wet, but even in the rainy months the downfall usually comes in the afternoon, and for only a few minutes. Most courses have good drainage systems, and the rains should not interrupt your game for long. Add to this all the non-golf vacation activities that golfers look upon as an integral part of their Thailand golf packages. The excellent Thai food, the vibrant nightlife, the spectacular scenery, the golden beaches and the sheer value for money in Thailand, who could ask for more.

Golfing in Thailand...Highly Recommended. 8
