Known from golf enthusiasts, Thailand is one of the most highly prized destinations and offers golf courses which are popular in many regions in the country.
Golf came 100 years ago in Thailand during the reign of King Rama V. It was played for the first time by people of noble birth and by some other elitists of the society, but since then things have changed for sure. During the past ten years, golf became more and more popular, giving Thai people, expatriates, and foreign tourists the chance to visit the country.
