GHW Golf Tours are both delighted and proud to be able to offer our clients luxury golf tours to this stunning destination. Demand has grown hugely over the years, largely due to the affordable pricing, climate, culture, people, attractions, quality of hotels and outstanding golf courses. Whether you're a group, or a couple looking for the ultimate get away, Thailand truly has it all in abundance!

If you're planning on a golf tour in Thailand, here's a few pointers, tips or heads up:

1 - Caddies + buggy are compulsory and included in your green fee (excluding gratuity)
2 - Caddies are all ladies, are all smiles and extremely professional and well trained

How efficient are Thai Caddies are compared to other caddies worldwide:

- Tee the ball up for you and pick up the tee afterward
- Mark the ball on the green and replace it by lining up the arrow to your line
- Take the ball out of the hole and take it to the next tee for you
- Won't allow you to even touch the pin

3. Five and six-balls are quite normal
It's quite normal to see six carts or twelve people (golfers and caddies) walking the fairways in front of you.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the sun because fighting it will only hurt you.

10. There's water....everywhere

11. Every course is in immaculate condition

There's always someone working on something on the golf course and with the low minimum daily wage ($10 per day), it's no surprise.

Some courses even stipulate that the caddies need to do one day per week of weeding on the fairways. They'll sit in a group and groom the fairway gossiping with each other. They smile and wave as you walk by and they're happy, so none of the usual politically correct western "poor them" attitude applies here. 

12. Every course has a resident stray dog

In Thailand it's forbidden to put down stray dogs which means there is a LOT of them. So with the cities so crowded and full of undesirables, some dogs prefer to retreat to the quiet life on a golf course. It's a slow life and quality of sleep is much better.

Conclusion
From the moment you pull up to the bag deposit to the time you leave the course, you're treated like a god. Keep a smile on your face and embrace the "sabai sabai" lifestyle of Thailand and you'll want to come back to this golfing mecca again and again.
