Golf Customer Testimonials and Feedback Regarding Thailand Golf Packages

Dear Jim,

Thank you so much for the wonderful golf package that you put together for me. Our holiday in Pattaya was awesome.
Our representative Montri did an amazing job not only driving us to and from our hotel, but gave us great information on the golf courses as well as local info. He was always on time and never rushed us, again he did a wonderful job.

I look fore ward to booking with you again in 2010 for our next Thailand golf vacation. I will recommend you company to anyone wanting to book a golf holiday in Thailand.

Again you and Montri did a fantastic job.

Best regards,

This for Mark, MD of GolfAsian.

I have just been and now back from the most memorable, perfect and wonderful golf holiday that my boyfriend and I have ever experienced - thanks to GolfAsian.com!!

 This is the first time I booked with Golfasian and with immediate effect, I will highly recommend it to my golf friends.

This was how perfect it was:

(1) From the word go during the booking process, Yim was very responsive and accomodative to my request and numerous changes via email and also over the phone

(2) From landing in Bangkok to leaving bangkok - it was just amazing! Yoon picked us up and sent us direct to Lakewood.

(3) Lakewood was pretty and pace of play was good. Hotel was FANTASTIC!! and Yoon was EXCELLENT

(4) As his boss, it tells us a lot about you too when we requested for Yoon to drive us around for our whole trip and you agreed without talking to us and making a big fuss about our request. It shows that you are a good boss to Yoon.

(5) Yoon is a GEM! He speaks great english for a Thai and very knowledgeable and articulate in his general knowledge He was always punctual, courteous patient and friendly.

(6) Being driven around in the car you provided was also a BIG PLUS - a luxury one can always request but not get due to demand

(7) Weather and less crowd during the holiday season made the trip even more enjoyable

All in all, Mark, we must thank you for a well organised, comfortable, luxurious (we are easy to please) and exciting (courses of course - the one birdie at the Best ocean course Par 3 was enough for me to have enjoyed the 72 holes) holiday. I must say it was ONE of the MOST enjoyable holiday I have ever had with my better half. He too really enjoyed the holiday and the conversations he had with Yoon about the Thai culture and places of interest etc.

We will certainly booked with GolfAsian again for our future trips. We plan to do this on a semi-annual basis. We have to pick the right time as well coz the 13 - 16 April 08 was, in our opinion, PERFECT timing

Thank you again for a wonderful experience. Looking forward to our next trip

Hi Jim

Just a note to thank your organization for a fine tour, which certainly surpassed all of our expectations.

The organization and selection of courses was fantastic, and this was enhanced by the superb service we received from Montri. This man is a great asset to your organization with his friendly efficient manner making every day all the more enjoyable. Every part of out tour was organized to the finest detail, we were constantly meet by friendly people who obviously respect your organization.

We are keen to return next year and will be in touch in due course but in the meantime will pass on your details to others who express an interest in visiting Thailand in the future.

Once again thanks to all.

Regards,

Hi Mark,
I'm just writing to you to pass on my thanks to the boys who ferried me around last week in Pattaya and Bangkok, Montri and Jum. Also thanks for letting Jum drive me to and from the course in the "boss's" Lexus in Bangkok, I felt spoilt. His ability to organize "better" caddies for me was appreciated.

I'm looking forward to October/November when I'll be back and hopefully bringing some colleagues. One of the Swedish guys I was grouped with is celebrating his 60th birthday in Pattaya arounfd the end of October or early November and he's invited me to join teh party. He nicknamed me "Aussie Shark" after I hit a couple of 300 yard plus drives and got on a couple of the par 5's at Phoenix CC in 2.
What my coach back in Australia (John Tolhurst) had been telling me about using a driver finally clicked and the ball kept disappearing in the distance. My caddie at Muang Kaeow challenged me to drive the green on the 16th into the wind. I hit the green on the full but unfortunately the ball didn't stick and I finished in the back of the left greenside bunker and only finishe with a par..

I'd also like to thank Jim and the back-office team for their seamless organization.

Many thanks,

Hi, Yim.....

Thank you, and Mark, for the very generous credit you have afforded to me......I do need to ask for a quotation for a Golf Trip in June, to Pattaya , and it's for 4 of us. I will be in touch over the next week, or so.

Again, you guys are the very best.........

Back home now. It was a fantastic week and all of the party had a great time.

Mark,  

I have been very busy this past week since my return home, and haven’t had a chance to respond earlier.

Overall, we were very pleased with the trip and arrangements.  The golf courses we played were of very good quality and we enjoyed playing all of them.  Red Mountain in particular was quite spectacular.

There are a few suggestions that I would make in order to improve your services:

• the Bangkok Marriott and the Wora Bora were both excellent facilities. I’d highly recommend either of these to anyone traveling to Thailand.
• we were not overly pleased with the Felix River Inn.  I understand it may be the best facility in Kanchanaburi, but it was not up to the quality that we expected.  I know it was a 4 star (vs the others being 5 star hotels).
• The Allamanda Laguna hotel was an ok facility.
• Our driver (Montri) for Bangkok / Kanchanaburi / Hua Hin was a joy to be around.  We were extremely pleased with everything he did for us.
• The driver in Phuket (not sure of his name – Pla?) was a good driver.

Thanks for the help of you and your staff. We greatly enjoyed our trip.

Dear Jim,

I meant to write to you before but for reasons that will become apparent I could not get it done until now. My apologies.

First of all and most importantly, I want to thank you and all at Golf Asian for looking after everything so well. Every single transfer and golf booking and my hotel bookings all went ahead without a single hitch except for one minor glitch; my round at Gassan Khuntan was booked as planned but they had no record of having booked a prepaid cart for me. This was all sorted out while I played the back nine so no real problems.

Overall I was less impressed with Hua Hin than Chiang Mai. The weather up north was kinder, Hua Hin being very hot and steamy by comparison; and although the golf courses in both locations were absolutely excellent and well looked after, I prefer being in the heart of a city to being in a purpose built resort outside the town. The only drawback in Chiang Mai was that on some golf courses the rounds were extremely slow, usually because Asian players prefer to play at a slower speed than most Europeans and are not good about letting faster players through. This was particularly a problem at Green Valley, a lovely course but hopelessly badly organised as far as bookings are concerned. Both times when I turned up in good time for my allotted tee time there were queues at the first tee and the starter was adamant that there was no way of starting at a different hole because there was no room at any of the other holes to move more quickly. As a result I was over half an hour late off the tee and had to play a six hour round. It was less of a problem at Lamphun but there were still slow players holding up play even when I was started at the 10th; there was some delay at Mae Jo even though I was started at the 10th; but by contrast at Highlands they did all they could to keep play moving and I now rate the course as equal best in the Chiang Mai area along with Royal Chiang Mai, where I was always got off the tee swiftly and efficiently and had excellent rounds. This was in part due to the quality of the caddies and the starting staff. Apart from Royal Chiang Maii and Highlands the caddy quality was at least variable. The girls were always enthusiastic and good fun, great at finding your ball but less good at judging distances and the line of putts; and the standard of spoken English was not as good as in previous years. But in context these are minor quibbles about what was as expected a superb golfing experience.

My drivers were all extremely good and went out of their way to be helpful. The Royal Princess Hotel was extremely attentive and all the staff were outstandingly efficient, courteous and helpful. Overall it was a memorably good holiday and I will return next year for certain. Thank you once again for making it all happen for me.

Dear Thong,

Very happy to give you group feedback as follows:

Courses:

1. St Andrews. 8/10. Good course, well worth playing. 
2. Siam. 4/10. It may well be in great condition . 
3. Imperial Lakes. 6/10. Ok but nothing exceptional.
4. Springfield.9/10. Best course of the lot. Just what we wanted.

Hotels:

1.       Hard Rock. Well located. Good rooms and facilities. 7/10.
2.       Sofitel. Outstanding. 9/10.

Elephant tour was good and worked out for us in the end.

Everyone else, including all the drivers, were pretty well punctual and courteous and I have nothing bad to say about any of them.

I hope that you find all of this useful.

Thank you for your help in putting this all together. It was a most successful trip from our perspective and I would be most happy to recommend your company.

Best wishes,

Dear Yim,

after being back from Thailand I feel obliged to thank you for your efforts and services in connection with our thailand trip. All was have been offered and organized by you met fully our expectations. The Sheraton recommendation was excellent und we were very satisfied with this hotel. Even more some of us can easily imaging visiting this location again in the forthcoming years. In additon the " Best of Bangkok Tour" was very interesting, the german speaking guide "Kit" great and helpful and can highly be recommended to all german tourists. When ever we intend to visit Thailand again, please be assured that then we will contact you for further excellent services.

Hi Mark,

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Everything has been going great!  First of all, I want to thank you for everything you did for us on our trip in Bangkok and Phuket.  Everyone
really enjoyed themselves and loved it.  The sightseeing tours and the golf were great.  I think they may want to return next year.

We are in Singapore now and will be flying back to Bangkok tomorrow. 
Again, thanks for everything,

Hello Jim,

Thank you for your e-mail – I am now back in Delhi where it is quite cold. So, I have some problems in adapting after the nice and warm weather of Thailand and Cambodia.

First of all, I would like to thank you and your team for the good organisation of the trip. I think that everything, from the first contact until the my departure went as planned and all the Golfasian staff I had contact with did a good job.

In general, we were also pleased with our trip.  For Cambodia, our overall impression was quite good – everything went as planned. 

Kirimaya: wonderful environment but a bit boring – Cambodia: not as great as Kirimaya in terms of environment and luxury, but a nice place to stay and to play some golf. Overall, it was a nice holiday.

Thank you once again for the organisation and I am pretty sure, living in the neighbourhood, that you will soon hear from us again to organise us another golf-escape.

With my best regards

Harry:

Thanks for the quick response.  I asked Finance to expedite the wire transfer so you should see it in 1-2 days.  The event went very well.  The caddies really added a lot, as you said.  I’m personally very appreciative of your personal touch and the fact that you trusted me to settle our affairs when I returned to California.  I won’t forget that.  Should I ever need help with an event like this or with a personal golf outing, I won’t hesitate to contact you at Golfasian.  Good Show, my friend.

Kindest Regards,

Mark, 

Thank you - I hope Jim enjoys the gift of my latest literary endeavour which was written for charity. We raised Pounds 8500 in total which was very pleasing.
We are in NZ at present, not playing much golf, but visiting relatives who emmigrated here three decades ago. 
 
While in Bangkok we played Alpine which was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed the fabulous course and the ambience of the club. We both played very well. Also on Sunday we played Suwan which was very good. 

After our stay in NZ we go to Australia before arriving back in Bangkok 9th February (Phuket 10th) and are looking forward to the golf Jim has arranged for us at Loch Palm, Mission Hills, BCCC Lakes and possibly Red Mountain. Will give you some feedback after we have completed the trip. 

All the best,

Jim,

Just wanted to follow up on the golf trip. Even though we missed the game at phoenix, we all really enjoyed the holiday. Your staff that transfered us to each desitination were great and keen to help where ever they could. Although I only had the single friend this time, he is already planning his next trip to thailand with his friends to play more golf. I have to say though, that our round of golf at Krungthep Kreetha was by far the nicest course and most relaxed, even for someone like me that is still learning the game.

So thank you for all your efforts and will be in touch again soon to arrange the next golfing holiday.

Jim, I appreciate the excellent service and support I have had, even before I land in Thailand.  I am looking forward to the holiday, and some golf.
Even if the lesson I had last week in Perth will probably have irrevocably ruined my swing!
 
I am in the departure lounge at Changi, and this is my last chance to send an e-mail before I land in Bangkok.
 
Regards,
