Ahh Okok normally how much do u spend on the transport and hotel n games for a 4d3n??

I m thinking of playing a game when I reach (tee off pm) , rest next day, then one game day after and one day before I fly back ( flight to sg at 9pm)

Bro below is my suggestion

Day 1 - As near airport as possible(Muang Kaew is good choice, Windmill,Thana City,Royal, Vintage and Green Valley)
Day 3 - Any where you want ( Go check the website by Bro Slinger)
Day 4 - Same as day 1, make you get am tee off.

How much it cost depend on you lah!Typically less than SGD150 per game(depending cart, where you go, time and day etc)
Last time we spend 2000 baht for the vehicle but was for whole day.
Hotels - Go check website by Bro Slinger.

2000 baht is cheap, i found one which is 2,500 baht. but we only have 2 people la, so costs abit high

Remember to tip caddies hor, abt 400baht cleaning shoes abt 20-25 baht

I understand that March is a high season to play in Bangkok?

here what i always do....

from airport i take taxi to one of the nearby golf courses.... shd be abt 300-600baht

along the way, i nego with the driver, to come back at certain time to pick me up after the golf n bring me to hotel.... mayb 600-800baht

if driver cant do it, then just go to the golf course n ask them to arrange a taxi to bring u to bbk hotel.... since the golf courses are near the airport, confirm got taxi come n pick u guys up....

the taxi drivers will tcss with u cos they want to know your itneriary in BBK..... they want your biz, so u go strike a deal with them, try not to be al cheapo, as long as reasonable, they will offer good services in return, cos a few hundred baht is abt S$10, why bother abt $10 when on holiday


in all my experiences, i have yet to have taxi drivers not coming back to pick me up.... still less than 2000baht

since its 2 of u, i prefer u pick the bigger taxi for the golf bags....

I would think from the airport, upon landing you can go straight to golf courses, like green valley, maeng kaew or summit windmill because they are relatively near to the airport. This is assuming if you are taking the earliest flight out of sg. After the game then check into hotel, then can go dinner and massage. Anyway according to my Thai friends local and foreigners usually got different rates.

Hey guys any review on royal golf and country club and vintage golf club? Cheers!

Bro, I noticed that you only had 2 balls and you are going to play over wkend, you might wanna check whether the golf course allow 2 balls for wkend or not before booking, because I know now bangkok some of the courses will ball matched you if you got only 2 balls.

Hi guys

I have booked my flight already. But only planning to play for two days (i.e. first day when arrive and last day before leaving to SG)

Day 1 - Mrn flight to BKK, arrive BKK airport at 835am (planning a game at royal golf and country club)

Day 2 and 3 - R&R in Bangkok

Day 4 - Flight departs BKK at 7pm.

I am still undecided where to play the last day. I have shortlisted the following (not in any order of preference):
1) Thana City;
2) Lakewoord;
3) Vintage;
4) Muang Kaew

Cause my GF is a slower player and both are us are playing golf in Thailand for the first time hence, we want a slighlty easier course.

I look forward to your valuable replies soon.

Cheers!

I would choose vintage or MK having played there before.
Vintage a more forgiving course, but I like MK for the challenge

But if you playing on weekend pls check if got slots or not first.

It would be both on weekdays. Day 1 Friday Day 4 Monday.

Royal golf and country better than Muang Kaew?
