Kanchanaburi / River Kwai Golf
Kanchanaburi (River Kwai) golf will be the subject of my next few posts. I hope you find the information useful and interesting as golfing in this area has been kind of a secret, at least up to now. Golfing in the Kanchanaburi or River Kwai Valley is something of a well-kept secret. It is well […]

Phuket Golf: Blue Canyon Country Club, Canyon Course
My golf in Phuket posts continue today with a review of the Blue Canyon Country Club’s Canyon Course.
