Being one of the most popular participation sports in the world, golf also has a growing following of those people who want to enjoy it while on vacation, or actually travel abroad specifically to play it. Originating in the United Kingdom, it is most popular in countries somehow connected to the UK, for example the USA, Australia and South Africa. However, in Asia it is also extremely popular. Countries such as Japan, South Korea and Thailand have good infrastructure, wonderful courses and massive following. Of those three Asian countries though, only one has a climate that allows year-round access to green greens and comfortable attire. For golf Thailand is not a world leader in terms of playing champions. But its advantages for serious amateurs, beginners, semi-pros, retirees and anyone else are clear to see. Thailand’s mix of so many other things, not just golf-related ones, enables it to offer the traveller and his or her companions a wonderful experience.

Firstly, for the golfer; Thailand has the climate for year-round play. It also has plenty of championship-quality courses, mainly less than three hours from Bangkok’s international airport. In addition, the popularity of the sport ensures high-quality products and services on offer. The country’s location and stage of development mean that the cost of such services, such as caddies and equipment rental are low. And finally the weather (lots of sun and rain) ensure the courses are always in good condition. It really is an ideal place to improve your golf game while enjoying a vacation or business trip. It is even possible to have some golf lessons with a pro. For golf Bangkok has plenty of shops, driving ranges and one or two excellent golf centres, where one can learn and practice using simulators. 

One must also remember that there are plenty of people who have a life outside of golf and do not want to live and breathe it 24/7. Also, there are golfers who travel with family members who are interested in other things. For these people, other attractions and activities are necessary. Thailand offers so much for shoppers, beach bums, trekkers, water-sports enthusiasts, and even those interested in spiritualism, Buddhism or meditation. The country’s cosmopolitan cities, idyllic islands, mountainous north and delicious cuisine all contribute to a wonderful travel experience, and that is made even better with its low prices and friendly people.

All in all, for its excellent facilities, wonderful climate and weather, and non-golf-related activities, Thailand is one of the best destinations in the world for any golf-related trip.
