Golf Holidays in Bangkok Thailand
No visit to Thailand is complete without spending a few days in Bangkok. The city is anything but charming on first impressions, but spend some time there and peel back the skin a little, and you may well grow to enjoy the taste of this fascinating city. Dirty and heavily polluted, the traffic, despite two mass transit systems opening over the last few years remains appalling. Glistening skyscrapers perpetually darken wooden slums and squats, whose occupants continue to fight against the development behemoth, while sparkling new Mercedes dodge food carts being pushed along the slow lane. Bangkok is a city of have and have-nots on a scale like no other in Thailand. Bangkok is a perfect choice as an add-on to your main golfing destination. Soak up the sights, sounds and smells of this bustling city and enjoy the vast array of food and shopping. A trip on a long tailboat on the Chaophya River is a must together with a visit to the night market for shopping. You can also visit the ancient capital of Ayudha and the floating market.
Whilst there are a large number of golf courses in and around Bangkok, we only offer a selection of the very best ones. The traffic in Bangkok is very congested so we have selected courses where the transfer times are predictable.
