Golf Society Trips to Thailand
Championship courses, a caddie on every round and green fees a fraction of home. Thailand is the best value society trip in golf, and Pattaya and Bangkok put a full week of it within an hour of one base.

Who this trip suits
A golf society trip to Thailand is the one that comes back under budget and over expectation. The courses are championship standard, the conditioning is superb, a caddie walks with every player, and the green fees are a fraction of what the same quality costs in Britain or the United States. It suits a society of eight to twenty four golfers who want plenty of golf, easy logistics, warm weather and lively evenings, all wrapped into one package that one concierge can run from start to finish.
Pattaya is the natural society base, with more than twenty courses inside an hour and a buzzing nightlife on the doorstep, while Bangkok adds a clutch of the country's grandest layouts and a city worth a day at each end. We build the week around the marquee names, fill it with strong value rounds, and keep the group together on transfers, tee times and dinners. For the wider picture see our Thailand golf hub and the Bangkok and Pattaya area guide.

A sample society week
Day 1, arrive into Bangkok
Land at Suvarnabhumi, transfer to the hotel, an easy first evening to shake off the flight and set the order of play.
Day 2, Thai Country Club
Open in Bangkok on one of the grand parkland courses, caddies lined up and the society stableford under way.
Day 3, transfer to Pattaya and a value round
Drive down the coast, play an afternoon round at Pattana or Burapha, then settle into the Pattaya base for the heart of the trip.
Day 4, Siam Country Club Old
The headline round, the LPGA host course, every player with a caddie, prizes and dinner to follow in town.
Day 5, Laem Chabang or the Plantation
A Jack Nicklaus design or the 27 hole Plantation, the kind of course that defines a Thailand trip, then a final night out.
Day 6, free morning and fly home
A relaxed last morning by the pool or one more nine before the transfer back to the airport.

Best time to book. The cool, dry peak from November to February is busiest, so lock in the marquee courses and the hotel two to four months out. March to May is hot and quiet, while the green season from June to October is warm and humid with short showers and the lowest rates.

Frequently asked
Why is Thailand good for a golf society trip?
Thailand pairs championship courses with low green fees, a caddie on every round and warm weather almost year round, which makes it one of the best value society destinations in the world. Pattaya alone has more than twenty courses within an hour, the evenings are lively and the whole group can be looked after on one package. It suits a society of eight to twenty four golfers who want plenty of golf and good nights out without a British price tag.
Which courses should a Thailand society trip include?
Build around Siam Country Club Old and Plantation near Pattaya, the Schmidt and Curley designs that host the LPGA, then add Laem Chabang International, a Jack Nicklaus design, and a Bangkok round at a course such as Thai Country Club or Nikanti. The choice is deep, the conditioning is excellent and a five or six round week is easy to assemble around one base.
How much does a Thailand society trip cost in 2026?
Thailand is exceptional value. Indicative 2026 green fees run from roughly 1,850 to 4,550 THB per round depending on the course and day, caddie and cart fees are modest on top, and a week of golf with a good hotel and transfers typically lands from around 1,500 to 3,000 USD per head excluding international flights. Rates change with season and rate plan, so always confirm directly before booking.
When is the best time for a Thailand golf trip?
November to February is the cool, dry peak season with the most comfortable golf and the busiest tee sheets, so book ahead. March to May is hot but quiet and good value, while the June to October green season brings warm humidity and short afternoon showers at the lowest rates. Societies that want the best weather aim for the November to February window and reserve the marquee courses early.
