Bangkok, Thailand, October 01, 2013 — Lotus Valley Golf Resort near Bangkok has become the lucky 13th member of Thailand’s prestigious Golf In A Kingdom marketing collective.
Formed five years ago, Golf In A Kingdom, “The Thai Golf Experience”, has grown to 24 members, comprising 13 of Thailand’s best golf courses, 10 hotels and resorts and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
Lotus Valley’s entry into the program means there are now five golf course members in Bangkok, three in Pattaya, two each in Hua Hin and Phuket and one in Chiangmai. They complement three hotels each in Bangkok and the Hua Hin/Cha’am region, two in Chiangmai and one each in Phuket and Pattaya.
Golf In A Kingdom founder, Mark Siegel, said Lotus Valley’s entry represented a further boost to the program and reflected the status of its new member.
“Golf In A Kingdom recognises the best golf courses and hotels/resorts in Thailand. Not only does it have the whole kingdom covered, golfers who play the courses and stay at member properties can be confident they are experiencing the highest quality golf and accommodation in Thailand.”
Lotus Valley Golf Resort is located in the Chachoengsao district, about 50 kilometres north-east of Bangkok. Originally designed by South African golf legend, Gary Player, the course opened in 1998. It was remodeled in 2008 by Thai resident, Jon Morrow, who designed other Golf In A Kingdom member courses Red Mountain in Phuket and Riverdale, Bangkok.
Lotus Valley’s new clubhouse opened in 2008 when the course remodeling was completed. The par-72 course with water on almost every hole plays 7015 yards from the back tees and is considered one of the best and well-priced public access layouts within easy reach of Bangkok.
“Lotus Valley is a wonderful golf outing for visitors to Bangkok,” Mark Siegel says. “Not only is the course immensely appealing, the clubhouse and facilities are absolutely first class. Everyone who comes to Bangkok to play golf shouldn’t miss this course.”
Golfasian ambassador, Tony Meechai, has his TMG Academy at the course, where he teaches aspiring young Thai and international golfers as well as visitors.
Golf In A Kingdom members are:
Golf Courses – Lotus Valley, Muang Kaew, Riverdale, Suwan, Thai Country Club (Bangkok); Banyan, Black Mountain (Hua Hin); Laem Chabang, Siam Country Club Old Course and Plantation Course (Pattaya), Chiangmai Highlands (Chiangmai).

- Just returned from Thailand golfasian could not do enough for us. This the second time we have used them for our golf holidays and because of the current situation with the outbreak of covid 19 we had to make changes at very short notice. Kim dealt with all our changes in a very professional manner. Thank you once again and look forward to booking with you again in the future. Johnny
Johnny Hall - Remarkable, great staff.I recommand golf Asian for organizing ability and méthods. No hesitation.
Bruno Gibert - Just spent two weeks traveling Thailand with Golf Asian, everything was perfect great courses, great service seamless pick up. I will use them again for sure very professional and very knowledgeable. There was one course I wanted to play that they said not to because it was in bad shape, I played anyway but they sure where right, was worth it for the views anyway :)
Andrew Wood - 1er séjour en Thaïlande tout était parfait hôtels golfs
merci beaucoup
Jean Michel Choulet - Everything is covered, nothing is left to chance.
Bill Hoy - Most outstanding and professional service ever best layout of golf. The hotel was beautiful and the best breakfast ever fresh fruits 🍉 I wish I could have played two rounds each day that’s my only regret... golf Asia. I’m going to use you every year so remember my name and review very well
Nirav Vallabh - We dealt with GolfAsian via their Australian representative, Prestige Golf Tours. Couldn't be happier with either of these companies, or recommend them highly enough. All of the transfers from airports, hotels and golf clubs went perfectly. Their staff were a dream to deal with. Their prices are very reasonable. From small things like free water on the bus each day, we just couldn't have been happier.
Mark Antony - I would like to joint golfasian
Jimmy Siow Quey Sang - This was our 6 th trip booked thru golf Asian and all of them have been great & hassle free. We were booked at excellent hotel and played on wonderful courses in Phuket Chiangmai, Pattaya and Bangkok.
Our next plan is Vietnam next year, and we will leave it Golf Asian to plan it out for us
Khalid Iqbal - Thanks Win!!
A very well organised golfing holiday. Very accommodating to slight changes we requested, we will be back👍😊
