Hua Hin and Cha-am, both resort towns in neighboring provinces – Phetchaburi and Prachuap Kiri Khan, respectively—offer good golf.  Both have courses with views of the Gulf of Thailand. The weather is pleasant for most of the year, with cooling breezes offering respite from the sun even in the hottest months. Besides the sandy beach, holiday makers have the choice of offshore outings or hiking in Sam Roi Yot National Park, just over an hour's drive from Hua Hin.  Phetchaburi, on the other hand, is home to magnificent temples, ancient summer palace, and home-made sweets—considered the best in the kingdom.

Cha-am is 175 kms southwest of Bangkok. A drive takes three hours. Hua Hin, 20 km away, is served by train, coach and plane. A range of accommodations is available in both towns, and also in the provincial capitals.

Kanchanaburi, also a three-hour drive from Bangkok, is known around the world as the site of the historic Bridge Over the River Kwae. But it is now becoming known as an attractive destination for recreational golfers, with several world-class courses in picturesque settings.Though the drive from Bangkok takes just about two hours, youshould consider staying at least a few days. The country'sthird-largest province, Kanchanaburi has waterfalls, mountains and jungles just beyond its provincial capital, making it anatural hub for trekking, hiking, river rafting, and just about every other outdoors activity. A visit to the War Museum and Cemetery is a must, and a trip up the valley to EGAT's dams recommended for the spectacular views. The golf courses have their own accommodations on site or nearby. There are resort hotels along the rivers, but few in the town itself, so reservations are advisable.
