The Weather and when to play
Thailand enjoys a tropical climate with three distinct seasons - Hot (April-June), Rainy (July-October) and cool (November- March). Temperatures in Thailand range from 35 ðC in April to 20 ðC in December. The climate in Northern Thailand is much cooler than the Central Plains and the South, and you should bear this in mind when planning your custom golf vacation. Playing a round of golf during your Thailand golf tour is possible almost any time of the year, even in the rainy season when downpours are usually short-lived and rarely bring a game of golf in Thailand to a complete halt. Courses are often quieter during this period, giving you more selectivity and options during your custom golf vacation. During your Thailand golf vacations, you are blessed with an average of 12 hours of daylight and sunshine throughout the year, from 6.30 am to 6.30 pm. As the temperature is cooler in the morning and late afternoon, it is popular to tee-off early or late in the day, avoiding the strong midday sun. However, it must be noted that in the ‘high' season (November - March) Thai golf courses are extremely busy and therefore tee-off times desired may not be possible.
Culture and Customs
Our Thailand Golf Package tours offer a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the locals. Thai people are traditionally very polite, friendly, and easygoing people. They are renowned for their tolerance of other cultures and friendliness to visitors taking advantage of the golf & travel available. They avoid confrontation at all costs, it is not in their nature to shout, cause a scene, or create a drama. It is important whilst enjoying your Thailand golf tours , that you give due respect and consideration to this very gracious country, and never cause a person to lose face. By accepting the misgivings of certain situations, and by being polite, showing good manners and smiling, you will gain huge respect from locals, employees and all associated with your golf tours in Thailand. Thai people want you to enjoy their country with its many attractions and Thailand golf packages. They will go out of their way to make your golf & travel as memorable as possible.
Whilst experiencing our Thailand golf tours, there are some local customs of which you should be sensitive about. Thais don't normally shake hands when they greet one another, but instead press the palms together in a prayer-like gesture called a ‘wai'. The ‘wai' is layered with intricacies of class, gender, and age - each of these dictates a certain height at which the two hands must be held. Visitors are not expected to be familiar with these complexities and the easiest method is simply to mirror the greeting given to you. The head is regarded as a sacred part of the body, literally and figuratively. Therefore, avoid touching people on the head and try not to point your feet at people or a religious object. This is considered very rude. Throughout your Thailand Golf Tours remember Thai people have a very deep, traditional reverence for the Royal Family, and a visitor should always show respect for the King, Queen and the Royal Children.
At Golfasian we want you to enjoy your golf & travel and to always feel at ease. Visitors combining sightseeing with our custom Thailand golf packages should dress neatly in all religious shrines and temples, and should never go without shirts, in shorts, or other unsuitable attire. It is acceptable to wear shoes when walking around the compound of a Buddhist temple, but not inside the chapel where the principal Buddha image is kept. Each Buddha image, large or small, ruined or not, is regarded as a sacred object. When visiting places of interest please ensure photography is permitted and do not do anything that might indicate a lack of respect. We wish to ensure that our Thailand Golf Package tours combine exclusive opportunities for you to enjoy all that this diverse country has to offer.
