Thailand is a country that is ideally suited for playing golf. There is a wide choice of beautiful courses, laid out in a tropical environment. Wonderful weather, attractive green fees and excellent caddies complement a game of golf.
Golf is also a widely practiced sport in Thailand. Many Thai business people have the clubs in the trunk of their car, because a meeting with a business relation is often completed or continued on the golf course.
