Golfing Destinations: Hua Hin & Cha-Am
Hua Hin and Cha-am, both resort towns in neighbouring provinces – Phetchaburi and Prachuap Kiri Khan, respectively—offer good golf. Both have courses with views of the Gulf of Thailand. The weather is pleasant for most of the year, with cooling breezes offering respite from the sun even in the hottest months. Besides the sandy beach, holiday makers have the choice of offshore outings or hiking in Sam Roi Yot National Park, just over an hour's drive from Hua Hin. Phetchaburi, on the other hand, is home to magnificent temples, ancient summer palace, and home-made sweets—considered the best in the kingdom.
Cha-am is 175 kms southwest of Bangkok. A drive takes three hours. Hua Hin, 20 km away, is served by train, coach and plane. A range of accommodations is available in both towns, and also in the provincial capitals.
