Thailand ranks as Southeast Asia's most popular golf destination, thanks to its exotic sights and hundreds of beautiful courses, from the highlands of the North to Phuket in the South and areas around Bangkok, Hua Hin and Pattaya. To help plan your trip, consider these answers to some frequently asked golf and travel questions ...
Thailand is southeast Asia's most popular golf destination for a variety of reasons. For starters, it's a country that has a rich history in golf and has over 300 courses, ranging from posh new resorts to government-built local clubs. Around 2 million Thais play golf themselves, so they know how to handle the game.
If ever there existed a golfing spot worthy of travel to the other side of the world, it's Thailand. The nation's golf culture blends an established environment with an exotic, "we're not in Kansas anymore" feel. What's more, some destinations require restraint, or you'll be broke after the first day. Not in Thailand. Here, you'll spoil yourself silly on most budgets.
