Climate |
 |
|
| Thailand
enjoys a tropical climate with three distinct
seasons - hot (March-June), rainy (July-October)
and cool (November- February). Temperatures
in Thailand range from 35 °C in April
to 20 °C in December. The climate
in Northern Thailand is much cooler than the
Central Plains and the South. |
| |
| |
| Play is possible almost any time of the year,
even in the rainy season when downpours are usually
short-lived and rarely bring a game to a complete
halt. Thailand is blessed with an average of 12
hours of daylight throughout the year, from 6.30
am to 6.30 pm. As the temperature is cooler in
the morning and late afternoon, it is popular
to tee-off early or late in the day, avoiding
the strong midday sun. |
| |
| |
| Most clubs in Thailand
welcome visiting players. There are no entry restrictions
on the majority of courses. |
|
| |
| |
| Green fees in Thailand, even at weekends, are
extremely reasonable, with weekday charges as
low as Baht 250 in Bangkok. Green fees in Phuket
are generally the highest in Thailand. However,
even at week- ends, fees are less than you would
expect to pay at comparable courses worldwide. |

Are
there caddies in Thailand |
|
|
| Caddies are available for about Baht 200 a
round. Your smiling, helpful caddie will be able
to improve your game no end. In fact, listening
to your caddie will be well worth the fee (generous
tips are appreciated too) and may make you look
like Jack Nicklaus by the time you reach
the 19th hole. |
|
| |
| |
| Clubs, shoes and umbrellas can normally be
rented for a nominal fee at most courses. Please
beware of shoe rental as most shoes available
fit the smaller Asian foot. It is best to bring
your own shoes with you. |
