Bangkok Golf Itinerary — 3-Day Golf Trip Guide

Bangkok and the greater metropolitan area offer over 60 golf courses within 60km of the city. With the right plan, you can play three rounds across three very different courses on a long weekend — and still have time to see the city.

3-day Bangkok golf itinerary

Day 1 — Championship start

Start with one of Bangkok's marquee courses. Thai Country Club, Amata Spring, or Nikanti Golf Club are among the region's finest layouts. Book the earliest available tee time (7am is ideal) to beat the heat. Take a GrabCar from your hotel — most Sukhumvit-area hotels are 30–45 minutes from these courses.

Afternoon: recover and explore Bangkok — temples, street food, and Chatuchak market if it's a weekend.

Day 2 — Mid-range gem

Bangkok's mid-tier courses (Lotus Valley, Krungthep Kreetha, Thana City) are excellent value and less busy than the top-tier clubs. Many have excellent facilities and challenging designs. Tee off at 7:30–8am for the coolest conditions.

Afternoon: day trip to the floating markets or Ayutthaya — several golf courses cluster around the historic city.

Day 3 — Airport proximity play

If you're departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport, play a morning round at one of the courses adjacent to the airport. Suvarnabhumi Golf and Country Club is literally next to the terminal, or Summit Windmill is 15 minutes away and one of the best layouts in the region. Check out of your hotel, play, and head straight to departures.

Practical Bangkok golf tips

• Traffic: Bangkok traffic is severe from 7:30–9:30am and 4:30–7pm. Always book early tee times and depart before 6:30am from the city.
• GrabCar: More reliable and predictable than taxis. Book in-app the evening before for early tee times.
• Booking: Call or email courses directly. Most speak English. Book at least 3–5 days ahead for weekends.
• What to bring: Sunscreen, spare glove, water (courses provide water stations but bring your own), and small change for caddie tips.
