The 10th running of the Honda LPGA Thailand saw forty nine of the World’s top 50 female golfers descend on Siam Country Club’s Old Course competing for a record US$1.6million.
Lexi Thompson claimed her seventh LPGA title in impressive fashion at the 2016 Honda LPGA Thailand and shot a final-round 4-under 68 for a six-shot victory over reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion In Gee Chun.
With this win, Thompson moves to No. 3 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and surpasses Stacy Lewis as the top-ranked American.
With nine Thais on the full LPGA tour interest in golf here in Thailand is very strong. Pattaya is perhaps the ideal place to host this major global sporting event as they love their golf here with over 26 top courses all within 60 minutes from the city.
The Old Course was in first class condition and was praised by all the players as one of the best tracks on tour, with the par 5 18th hole providing more drama than a Thai soap opera.
Good news for golf tourism is the fact that the tournament was seen by over 172 countries on live TV and the organisers said that attendance was up by a massive 15% with over 13,000 watching on the final day.
- Fourth trips with Golfasian, thanks Mark, Lit and all of the staffs that look after us for this amazing trip. You guys delivered every time we booked with you, you never fail us once. See you on our 5th trip of Pattaya and Bangkok. Oct 2023. You guys are the best.
Jason Kang - I spent 2 weeks in Thailand playing 6 rounds in the Bangkok area, fantastic organisation from the guys at GA and nothing was too much hassle, definitely recommend.
Brian Gibson - After our fantastic vacation, I wanted to take a moment to thank you. It was purely by chance that I stumbled upon GolfAsian during my internet search, but I couldn't imagine a better organization. The service and follow-up were excellent, and the selection of golf clubs and excursions was perfect. This definitely deserves a repeat. I will wholeheartedly recommend your organization within our golf circles here in Belgium.
If there's any way I can be of assistance to GolfAsia in Europe, please let me know.
Luc De Waele - Thinking of going to Asia and not sure where to start??? You can put your mind at ease if you connect with Golfasian Just spent 12 days in Amazing Thailand and everything was handled to a tee! http://travelinggolfer.net/2019/10/30/asia-on-your-mind/
Claudio DeMarchi - Great team, great service. I will definitely go to Golfasian again for my next trip.
Thank you
Craig Jenkins - Remarkable, great staff.I recommand golf Asian for organizing ability and méthods. No hesitation.
Bruno Gibert - This is my 2nd golf trip to Bangkok arranged by Golfasian. Very professionally and the trip was enjoyable. Would highly recommend to others and will contact them for future golf trips soon.
Steve Chang - Our recent trip to the Pattaya area for 6 rounds of golf was excellent, and went very smoothly. Golfasian's itinerary was well executed, and everything worked like clockwork. Their drivers were exceptional in their service, and would register us at the golf club while we went straight to the locker room or driving range.
All this at very reasonable price levels makes Golfasian the number one choice for our group, and this is confirmed by us planning our golf holiday through Golfasian for the 8th year in a row.
Thank you Ian Morgan, and see you guys next year.
Jehanzeb Khan - We have golf trips in Thailand for many years by ourselves and recently appointed Golf Asian to organise golf trips to Chiang Mei, Hua Hin and Bangkok. We have 8 to 20 golfers on these trips and everyone enjoyed the professional tour arrangement by GA from hotel, transport and golf courses. We appreciate their commitments to customers and will recommend this golf agent to anyone who may wish to play golf with fun in Asia. Thanks for the good services.
Tony Wu - Decent service provider, but for the first time felt that they don’t care about client needs and try to sell the most expensive option by default
