Jim,

My apologies. I did not get your email until I got home last night – far too late to respond usefully to your questions I’m sure. Anyway, here goes….

Sorry we did not get together for a round while I was in Chiang Mai. I had a great time as always; at first it was all very quiet probably because of the airport problems and political uncertainties at the end of last year. But it all picked up by the end of the month when the courses were as busy as ever. You were right about Alpine – they have really made something special from the old Chiang Mai Lamphun course. The facilities are much better and the new course layout is excellent. Highlands was as good as ever and I enjoyed my round at Gassan Khuntan even though it is much further from Chiang Mai than the other courses. The weather was really excellent; always hot but not too hot, not humid and always dry.

You asked me about Royal Chiang Mai. I was really surprised to hear that you have had some mixed reports about it; I always like Royal Chiang Mai and it has never occurred to me that the fairways are less than excellent. They are not manicured like an American golf course but then I like that. Golf can become too "artificial" if the course does not feel natural.

So next year I will be very pleased to go to all the courses I went to this year, or any of the others you feel have now come up to scratch, such as Gassan Lake City and Gassan Marina if they have, and Green Valley if it is no longer taking too many bookings and playing six hour rounds.

We have done a few trips with Golfasian in Vietnam and it was simply brilliant. From the overall organization, to the Tee-Times up to transportation. I can highly recommend Golfasian.

We would like to pass on our thanks and appreciation to Sophie, Bill, Tony & the whole of the Golf Asian Vietnam team for organising our golf and transfers during our time in Ho Chi Minh, nothing was too much trouble and everything was professionally arranged

Thanks again from DAGS Adelaide

Best golf tour service in Asia! We have been using them for our golf trips in Thailand before Covid, and it's great to be back again and the service is still as good as ever! Thanks a lot for the team.

We have used Golf Asian for 7 years in a row for our ASIAN Golf Trips, we have played Thailand 4 times, Vietnam, and Indonesia twice

Their service is of the highest quality, their knowledge of the market is second to none, and most importantly their staff, we have dealt with Lit extensively and she is amazing, and so are all the other staff, including the drivers, and airport meet and greet staff

Most importantly the value for money you get is second to none

Keep up the good work

Will use them again next year

Four friends, 6 rounds of golf in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. Arrangements by GolfAsian were great and all courses were different but good quality. All transfer drivers were helpful and punctual but our favourite was "Johnson" in KL. Minor criticisms - water was not supplied and our first 9 at Kota Permai was marred by major fairway renovation. All in all we had a fun time and we will be back.

Thanks for yet another fabulous golf holiday in Thailand. This was our 6th and probably our best yet. This time we were a group of 18 visiting Hua Hin and Phuket. We all loved Banyan and Black Mountain (HH) and Red Mountain & Blue Canyon in Phuket. All the hotels we stayed at - Sofitel (Bkk) Centara (HH) & Angsana (Phuket) were fabulous. The transportation to and from the courses and additional transportation to other places of interest were on time and efficient. Lit who set up our programme and Bua our on-the-ground guide were enthusiastic and a pleasure to deal with. Everything went without a hitch, according to the schedule that Lit had assiduously set up for us. Thanks to Golfasian for their attention to detail and meticulousness. In doing so, you took the stress out of travelling in a large group where things can go horribly wrong very quickly. Because the planning was so thorough, you made everything enjoyable, stress free and fun. We're already planning for next year.
