Golf Holidays In Thailand
Thailand is fast becoming a preferred destination for golf holidays and there is without a doubt that this fascinating and exotic country does provide you with a unique golf experience.
Golf courses in Thailand have excellent and modern facilities along with proper infrastructure and roads. In fact, many golf enthusiasts claim that golf holidays in Thailand are much superior to those in Europe.
This could be because there are many golf courses spread across Thailand so you will rarely find an over crowded golf course. Even in the most popular places, golf courses have sprung up and you will find each course providing you with an exclusive and special atmosphere where golf culture is undiluted by tourism.
Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Hua Hin, Khao Yai, Koh Samui, Pattaya, Phuket and River Kwai all have golf course ideally suited for different budgets. You can always create a custom golf tour package to suit your pocket, and, if necessary, you can also combine two locations.
However, you should take into account the time of the year you are planning your golf holiday in Thailand. Remember, Thailand basically has three seasons. The cool season starts from November until February. During this period, there are clear skies and the weather is highly conducive for golfing. However, this is the peak tourist season in Thailand and you would need to make reservations well in advance to get accommodation you want.
Summer in Thailand begins in March and temperatures gradually increase. April and May are hot and humid. Do remember that the Thai New Year is celebrated in May and this is the time when Thailand comes to a virtual standstill.
The rainy season in Thailand is from June until end of September. It rains most days and the weather can be highly unpredictable. During this period, there is less sunshine and this can definitely dampen your golf holiday in Thailand.
If you are looking for a budget golf holiday in Thailand then October is the month for you. During this month, the prices are still low and the tourist season has not started as yet. You can decide when to play and get bargain deals.

History Of Thailand
Thailand’s history is enticing as well as fascinating. Delving deep into the history will help you to understand how culture, religion, and people have evolved in Thailand over a period of time.
Due to lack of any proper written records, many contemplate on the kind of culture that was prevalent in Thailand before the Christian period. However, according to archeological evidences, there were traces of life in the north of Nakorn Ratchasima around 4000 years ago. It is said that people practicing agriculture settled in areas of southern Thailand during 6th century AD. The religion of Buddhism that is now practiced by the Thais came into the picture around 3rd century BC when missionaries from India were sent to regions like Burma and Thailand to spread the learning’s of Buddha.
The 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries of Thailand were quite eventful periods. During the 11th century, came the Dvaravati period, which soon collapsed with the invasion of Khmers. Around 12th and 13th century, the Khmers toppled and the Sukhotai kingdom gained independence. The 14th and the 15th centuries were marked with the powerful emergence of the Thai kings of Ayuthaya.
A series of incidents ensued during which Burma tried to capture Thailand but the Thais were able to recover from the attacks. In 1782, Rama I became the king of Thailand and this marked the beginning of the Chakri dynasty. During his era, Bangkok was made the capital of Thailand. He was succeeded by his descendants who were largely responsible for encouraging trade relations with neighboring countries such as China. Others made progressive reforms such as modernization of the legal and administrative systems and the construction of railways. Another descendant made further reforms by making education compulsory in the country. A series of succession followed ultimately leading to the reign of the king who was the ruler of Thailand until the sudden coup occurred in September 2006.
