Thailand hotels and travel guide. Hotel reservation for Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Pattaya.
The major resort towns on the Southern Peninsula, known for their pristine
beaches and first-class facilities, are also home to some of the best
golf anywhere.
The island of
Phuket off the western coast
alone boasts three of the country's best courses. Neighboring
Phangnga, also on the coast
of the Andaman, has one of only a handful links-type facilities in the
country. These courses were carved out of tin mines and coconut plantations
and set against spectacular backdrops of glittering sea, mountains and
wooded hills.
There is, of course, much to do besides golf.
The islands of the Andaman are world-famous diving sites. All kinds
of water sports are also available. Non-athletic pursuits available
in Phuket include sightseeing around the old quarters, with its distinct
Sino-Portuguese architecture and its multicultural blend of Malay, Chinese
and Thai. Accommodations run the whole gamut, from beach bungalows to
exclusive properties rated above five-star.
Phuket's year-round warm weather makes it an ideal venue for all kinds
of outdoor activities, ranging from water sports such as sailing and
scuba diving to tennis, beach volleyball and golf.
Of the three
first-class courses on the island, perhaps the most famous is the Blue
Canyon, host to the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1994 and again in 1998.
Additional rounds can be played at the Phuket Country Club, the island's
first. Thai Muang Beach, meanwhile, is one of the prettiest in the country,
with views of Phuket's azure blue ocean, mountains and forested hills.
