There is no place that can match golf in Thailand for the combination it offers. Not just in Asia, but all over the world. This may sound lofty as the world is full of exceptional golf courses, which even Thailand\u2019s best cannot match. But then, a golf holiday goes way beyond just the golf courses in a destination. It\u2019s the overall golfing experience that one takes away in Thailand. And when you add the food and the entertainment, you are talking unequivocally about a golfer\u2019s paradise. Don\u2019t just take it from me, ask the several hundreds of thousands who go year after year. Or those who go there, every other month if not more often.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3227 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-mountain-golf.jpg\" alt=\"black mountain golf club\" width=\"770\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-mountain-golf.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-mountain-golf-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/black-mountain-golf-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a look at what makes a golf holiday in Thailand an experience that wows all golfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>1.\u00a0 Golf Courses:<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The earlier disclaimer notwithstanding, the best <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/golf-courses\/thailand\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">golf courses in Thailand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> do make for a world class golfing experience. Agreed, there are no equivalents of Pebble Beach, Old Course St. Andrews or Royal County Down. But that doesn\u2019t necessarily make golf in Thailand ordinary. Regular golf tourists to Thailand will tell you that there are some superb golf courses across the country.

Right from the time of arrival at the golf course, golfers can expect first class treatment. There is usually a dedicated caddy assigned to every golfer, enhancing the service on offer. The locker rooms are fully endowed and a post round meal at the clubhouse is not to be missed. Very often, it can serve as the redeeming factor after the round. And for many, this bit too is an integral part of a golf holiday in Thailand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quick tip here : Stick to the Thai menu<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3220\" src=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/siam-country-club.jpg\" alt=\"siam country club\" width=\"770\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/siam-country-club.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/siam-country-club-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.golftripz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/siam-country-club-768x349.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;\"><strong>3.\u00a0 The After-Golf Experience:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cafter golf\u201d experience, on a golf holiday in Thailand couldn\u2019t have been summarized much better than in this line. \u201cWhen you are in Thailand, it seems like everyone is on a holiday!\u201d. This line credited to a repeat American golfer, pretty much underscores the spirit of Thailand. The country, its people, its establishments are completely geared towards the tourist experience. There is no dearth of dining options to suit every budget \u2013 from street side stalls to Michelin grade restaurants. There are plenty of bars and pubs to keep you going through to the wee hours. All this at a price which may be a fraction of elsewhere in the world. For a group of golf buddies, this is exactly what they need.

For a bunch of golf buddies, there are a variety of options to choose from, depending on their budget.
