Bangkok is a natural golfing hub, with dozens of championship-standard courses in and around its perimeter. The neighboring provinces of Pathum Thani to the north, Nakhon Pathom to the northwest, and Chachoengsao to the east, each boast a number of world-class facilities.

The area is the major rice bowl of the country, and many golf courses here are carved out of rice paddies. The terrain is flat, but most golf courses compensate for this by crafting beautiful layouts with lots of water hazards. The older courses have shadier fairways, with mature vegetation, making it pleasant to play even in the most torrid months. 

There is much to do after a day of golf. Bangkok, capital since 1782, is known as much for its spectacular temples and palaces as for the wide range of dining, shopping and entertainment it offers. For the family, a cruise up the arterial Chao Phraya to the ruins of the old capital of Ayutthaya and a boat trip through the canals that once gave the city the nickname "Venice of the East" are highly recommended. The choice of accommodation in the city runs from economy to luxurious, and many golf courses have lodging facilities on site or nearby.
