With positive signs that the global economy is at last showing signs of improvement, many companies are now scheduling overseas trips to Thailand again
But with a close eye on the bottom line costs,
Thailand travel budgets are tight and gone are the chances of grabbing a few extra nights at the Oriental in Bangkok to fit in a couple of rounds with the local VP or Sales agents!
Golf and business in Thailand however are still a great way of clinching that business deal or renewing contacts and Thailand as the world’s lowest cost premium golf destination is again factoring high on the golfing executive’s radar screens.
So with this in mind I was curious to find out exactly what were the options of conducting a bit of social business around golf while traveling in Thailand and on a tight schedule.
Flying around Asia is now almost as cheap and as easy as catching a train, so trying to fit in some Thailand golfing activities is still feasible with some creative scheduling.

golf availability in Bangkok means a different slant on the business dinner. Certainly it is a known fact that the many Asian businessmen love to fit in 9 or 18 holes at night in Bangkok before grabbing a plane back home overnight. Night golf options in Bangkok include
Summit Windmill,
Bangkok Golf Club,
Pinehurst, Panya Indra, and Cascata. Of these I personally prefer
Panya Indra as it is the nicest facility. Others also enjoy
Pinehurst which is known to have the “best” night shift caddies in the Kingdom.
