Frequently Asked Questions About Bangkok Golf Holidays
Is Bangkok a good destination for a golf holiday in Thailand?
Yes. Bangkok is one of Thailand’s strongest golf holiday destinations, with a large choice of championship golf courses combined with world-class hotels, restaurants, nightlife, shopping and sightseeing. It works particularly well for golfers who want to play several different courses while still enjoying everything a major city offers.
How many days should you spend on a Bangkok golf trip?
Four to six nights works well for most Bangkok golf holidays. This gives you enough time for three or four rounds of golf while still leaving space for sightseeing, dining and relaxing between rounds. Bangkok can also work as a shorter two- or three-night golf stopover as part of a wider Thailand trip.
How many rounds of golf should you play in Bangkok?
Three or four rounds are ideal for most Bangkok golf trips. Bangkok has enough course variety to build anything from a short two-round city golf break to a longer multi-course golf tour. Alternating golf with free days can also make the holiday more relaxed, especially if you want to explore the city.
Where is the best area to stay in Bangkok for a golf holiday?
Central areas such as Sukhumvit, Silom and the Riverside are popular because they combine a wide choice of hotels with restaurants, nightlife, shopping and easy access to the rest of Bangkok. The best location also depends on which golf courses you plan to play, as courses are spread around the wider Bangkok area.
How far are Bangkok golf courses from the city centre?
Many of Bangkok’s golf courses are located outside the central city, so transfers commonly take around 45 to 90 minutes depending on the course, hotel location and traffic. Some journeys can take longer during busy periods. Choosing suitable tee times and planning transfers carefully is therefore an important part of a Bangkok golf holiday.
Can you play golf in Bangkok on your arrival or departure day?
Often, yes. Several golf courses are conveniently located between central Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport, making an arrival-day or departure-day round possible when flight times allow. Enough time should always be left for immigration, luggage collection, traffic, changing after golf and airline check-in rather than treating it like a normal golf day.
When is the best time for a Bangkok golf holiday?
November to February is the most popular period for a Bangkok golf holiday because conditions are generally drier and temperatures are more comfortable. Golf can be played throughout the year, however. Early tee times are particularly useful during hotter months, while the green season can offer lush courses, fewer visitors and attractive golf rates.
Is Bangkok suitable for a golf holiday with a non-golfing partner?
Yes. Bangkok is one of Thailand’s best golf destinations for couples or groups where not everyone plays golf. Non-golfers have an enormous choice of shopping, spas, temples, markets, restaurants, rooftop bars and cultural attractions while golfers are on the course, making it easy to combine golf with a wider city holiday.
What can be included in a Bangkok golf holiday package?
A custom Bangkok golf holiday can include your preferred hotel, selected golf courses, confirmed tee times, green fees, caddies, golf carts, private golf transfers and airport transfers. Fairways of Eden can also include activities and additional destinations, allowing the trip to be built around your group, budget, number of rounds and preferred travel style.
Can I book Bangkok golf tee times without a complete holiday package?
Yes. You do not need to book a complete Bangkok golf holiday package. Fairways of Eden can arrange individual tee times or multiple golf rounds, with private golf transfers added where required. This is ideal if you have already booked your Bangkok hotel but still want your golf organised in advance.
