Golf in Thailand from Singapore: Weekend Trips and Costs

Bangkok is about 2½ hours from Changi and Phuket about 2, with flights every few hours, so two rounds over a weekend are easy. Singaporeans get 30 days in Thailand without a visa. A long weekend, three nights and two rounds with a four-star hotel, caddies and transfers, costs about S$380–S$640 per golfer without flights (our estimate for the 2026/27 season). Thailand is one hour behind Singapore.

Flights from Changi

To	Non-stop flights	Flying time
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK)	Singapore Airlines (about 6 a day), Thai Airways (about 5 a day), Scoot (about 3 a day)	about 2½ hours
Bangkok Don Mueang (DMK)	Thai AirAsia (about 3 a day), Thai Lion Air (daily)	about 2½ hours
Phuket (HKT)	Singapore Airlines (5–6 a day), Scoot (2–3 a day)	about 2 hours
Krabi, Samui, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai	Scoot to all four; Bangkok Airways to Samui	about 1¾–3 hours

There are no flights from Singapore to Hua Hin or to U-Tapao (for Pattaya). Fly to Bangkok and drive: Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya takes about 1 hour 25 minutes and to Hua Hin about 2¾ hours, outside rush hour. Jetstar Asia stopped flying in July 2025. These are the schedules for the season to late March 2027, checked 1 November 2026; check with the airline before you book.

A golf weekend, Friday to Sunday

Friday after work: evening flights leave Changi for Bangkok from about 17:30 to 21:00 and for Phuket at about 18:15–18:35, landing an hour or two later local time.
Saturday and Sunday morning: a round each day. Tee off early: it is cooler, and you are back at the hotel by lunchtime.
Sunday evening: flights back leave Bangkok from about 18:00 to 23:00 and Phuket at about 18:00–20:20.

Prefer not to fly on Friday night? Saturday-morning flights reach Bangkok and Phuket by mid-morning, in time for an afternoon round. With the Monday off, Hua Hin or Pattaya and a third round fit in.

Where to go for a weekend

Phuket is the easiest. Blue Canyon is about 20 minutes from the airport, Laguna and Mission Hills about half an hour, and Red Mountain and Loch Palm about 40 minutes. Resort courses and beaches.
Bangkok has the prestige clubs. Traffic is heavy, so stay near the courses you play and avoid the rush hour.
Pattaya is about 1 hour 25 minutes by road from Suvarnabhumi, with most courses within 45 minutes of town. The best value, and good for groups.
Hua Hin is about 2¾ hours by road: better for a long weekend of three or four nights than a two-night trip.

What a golf weekend costs in Singapore dollars

Region	3 nights, 2 rounds	5 nights, 3 rounds
Phuket	about S$420–S$640	about S$680–S$990
Bangkok	about S$380–S$570	about S$760–S$990
Pattaya	about S$420–S$610	about S$680–S$950
Hua Hin	about S$450–S$640	about S$680–S$950

Per golfer, four golfers sharing twin rooms in a four-star hotel: green fees, caddies, tips, hotel and transfers, without flights. Each range runs from low season (May to October) to high season (November to February). These are our estimates, converted at ฿26.39 to the Singapore dollar (the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 October 2026); the quote you get is the price that counts.

Golf clubs on the plane

Singapore Airlines: the golf bag counts within your checked allowance, in a protective bag or hard case.
Thai Airways: one golf set is included in your allowance; if it takes you over, a flat fee applies.
Scoot: the bag counts against the checked baggage you buy (the lowest fares include none), and oversized items can cost extra.
Thai AirAsia: golf is a separate paid add-on, cheaper if you buy it when you book.

On a two-round weekend, hiring clubs at the course (typically around ฿1,500, about S$60, a round) can cost less than flying your own.

Visa, passport and arrival card

30 days without a visa. Since 15 September 2026 Singaporeans get 30 days in Thailand for tourism, down from 60 (Tourism Authority of Thailand). Living in Singapore on another passport? Check the rule for your nationality.
Passport valid for six months on arrival.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC): compulsory, free, and filed online at tdac.immigration.go.th in the three days before you land. Ignore sites that charge for it.
