Bangkok Golf Packages

Bangkok is the perfect place to start exploring the rest of Thailand

Thana City Golf Club, Bangkok

When looking to book a golf package in Thailand, there is no better place to start than the capital city of Bangkok.  In fact, when it comes to playing golf in the whole of Asia, Bangkok stands out as one of the top places to book a golf package.  Bangkok golf packages are available in various durations and cover several championship golf courses, giving you and your group the best possible experience when it comes to playing golf in this region of Thailand.

Not only is Bangkok a great place in its own right, it is the perfect place to start an exploration of the rest of the country.  Thailand is a fabulous country, especially when it comes to golf and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to world class golf courses and facilities.  By arriving in Bangkok, via the international airport, you can easily travel around the rest of Thailand using different forms of domestic transport.  Whether it be catching a flight to the south of the country, taking a bus or train to one of stunning mountainous regions or a taxi to one of the many villages or towns on the outskirts of Bangkok, it’s all there for you to enjoy.

Chiang Mai & Phuket are just a short one hour flight from Bangkok

Alpine Golf club, Chiang Mai

For example, to reach Chiang Mai, which is beautifully set in the north of Thailand, you can take one of the several trains, some of which travel over-night.  You also have the option of an internal flight, which takes just 70 minutes from Bangkok and before you know it, you will be in the fresh, cooler air of Chiang Mai and ready to sample the wide range of golf courses in this area of the country.  If you would rather opt for a beachside extension to your trip, you can head to the picturesque island of Phuket, in the south of Thailand.  To reach Phuket from Bangkok, you can take one of the many daily flights to Phuket International Airport, one of the several direct buses and the train, all be it indirectly.  So, Bangkok is the perfect springboard to every other region of Thailand and you can easily split your time between Thailand’s capital city and other areas of the country.

You should be under no illusion just how big Bangkok is and there are over eleven million people living in the city.  However, you should not let the sheer volume of people who call Bangkok home stop you from visiting, as the fantastic temples and palaces are a sight not to be missed.  Then there’s the food markets, offering you the best in fresh and local ingredients and cooked meals, the canals and the lively nightlife.  When visiting Bangkok for the first time, the cosmopolitan city can be an overload for the senses but you soon understand this is part of the charm of one of Asia’s greatest cities.  Three palaces you should see during your stay are the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun and if you would like to escape for the hustle and bustle of the city centre for a few hours, head to Lumphini Park in Silom, which is the largest park in central Bangkok.  In terms of travelling around the city, you cannot leave Bangkok without taking a trip around the streets in an iconic Tuk Tuk.  These are easy to pick from almost every street and there is even a hop-on hop-off service available, which takes people to all the popular sites and you can pay for one trip and get off when you like.  It’s a fun way to explore Bangkok.

November to February are the coolest and driest months of the year

Bangkok Weather Patterns

As you browse the Bangkok golf packages below and begin forming your ideal golfing holiday, you must keep in mind the climate in and around Bangkok.  The city is just 14 degrees north of the equator and basks in warm temperatures all year round.  In terms of booking a Bangkok golf package, you should aim to travel between November and February, as this is both the coolest and driest months of the year.  During the day, you can expect temperatures to hover around 30 degrees and as the sun goes down, it can drop to the lower 20’s and this makes walking around the city and playing golf, a real pleasure.  At other times of the year you must be prepared for both hot and wet weather.  Between March and April, the weather can get extremely hot in Bangkok, with the temperature hovering around 35 degrees and this can make sight-seeing and playing golf a little uncomfortable.  From May until October there is a high chance of rain, with huge downpours not uncommon.  However, an afternoon shower can be a nice way to cool off and if the rain is not persistent you can easily enjoy everything Bangkok offers, whether it be shopping in the street markets or playing golf.

In terms of Bangkok golf packages themselves, you have several excellent options, some of which take in Bangkok and its vicinity and others which include additional areas of Thailand.  Which you choose will be depend much on the length of time you have available.  So, whether you have a weekend or nine days, there is a Bangkok golf package to suit your requirements.

Bangkok Golf Break - 3 days/2 nights

2 rounds (Thana City & Muang Kaew)

Muang Kaew Golf Club, Bangkok

For those who are a little short on time but would love to sample the best golf courses in Bangkok, we recommend the Bangkok Weekender.  This package is spread over three days and two nights and includes two rounds of golf, making one of the most popular Bangkok golf packages for those who have a short amount of time in the city.  This package includes the tremendous Thana City Golf and Sports Club, which features Thailand’s only Greg Norman designed golf course.  Within easy reach of downtown Bangkok, this course has played host to some of the biggest names in world golf, including Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Laura Davies, Ian Woosnam and Thailand’s own, Thongchai Jaidee.  The second course you will enjoy on this Bangkok golf package is Muang Kaew Golf Club and this a popular course with the locals.  Similarly, to Thana City Golf and Sports Club, Muang Kaew is just 20 minutes away from the centre of Bangkok, which is perfect for those who are short on time and having been redesigned by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley, you are guaranteed a good and challenging round of golf.  The back nine holes are excellent, with a wide variety of holes and plenty of water hazards to avoid.  If you are looking for the perfect weekend golf break, The Bangkok weekender is ideal.

Bangkok Golf Experience - 7 days/6 nights

If you have more time on your hands, you should select one of our longer Bangkok golf packages.  The one week Bangkok golf package will allow you to sample many of the cities attractions and play four rounds of golf, starting at Suwan Golf and Country Club.  This championship course hosted the 2010 Asian Tour International and 2011 Thailand Open, which underlines the fantastic quality of the golf course.  Located to the west of Bangkok, the course is set among rural villages, rice fields and fruit orchards and has won several best in Asia awards.  You cannot fail to be taken in by the beauty of this course but at the same time, with the course being hilly and greens well bunkered, you must try and focus on your golf, to get a low score.  From here, you will head to Lam Luk Ka Country Club, which offers 36 holes of top quality golf.  This course is used for Asian Tour qualifying and is set on Bangkok’s wetlands, meaning water comes into play on many of the holes.  Finally, we take you to the Nick Faldo designed, Summit Windmill Golf Club, which is home to one of the most challenging golf courses in Bangkok.  One of the great things about this course, other than the tremendous par-3 holes is the floodlights, which makes night golf possible and opens the opportunity to visit some Bangkok attractions during the day and play golf at night, when the temperature is a little cooler.

As mentioned above, one of the many benefits of Bangkok is the fact you can easily explore the rest of Thailand from the city and this means extending the choice of golf courses you can play, if you have nine days available.  Our longer Bangkok golf packages stretch over nine days and take in golf courses around Bangkok and one other region of Thailand.
