Book your game.

How to secure tee times, where to get the best prices, whether to bring your clubs or rent, and how to book LENGOLF for an evening or rainy-day session.

Step-by-step

How to book tee times

Thai golf courses range from walk-up friendly to book-months-in-advance. Here is how the process works and where to find the best prices.

1

Choose your booking platform

GolfNow and GolfAsian list most major Bangkok-area courses and often offer last-minute deals. For top courses like Black Mountain, booking direct is usually cheapest — they rarely discount through third parties.

See platform comparison below

2

Book 2–4 weeks ahead in peak season

November to February is peak golf season. Black Mountain and Banyan fill up weeks in advance on weekends. For hot or rainy season (Mar–Oct), same-week booking is usually fine.

Peak: Nov–Feb

3

Understand what is included in the green fee

Most Thai courses include a caddie in the green fee — this is not optional. Cart hire is often extra. Budget for a caddie tip of ฿300–500 per round, which is customary and expected.

Caddie tipping is standard

4

Consider LENGOLF for evenings and rainy days

When afternoon heat or rain rules out outdoor golf, LENGOLF's simulator bays at BTS Chidlom are a 2-minute walk from the station.

The big question

Bring your clubs to Thailand — or rent when you arrive?

Most airlines treat golf clubs as sports equipment and charge an extra fee each way. For short Bangkok-focused trips it rarely makes financial or logistical sense. For longer multi-course trips, your own set has real advantages.

Your trip	Verdict
Day trip — 1 outdoor round	Rent at course
Short stay — 2–4 nights, 1–2 rounds	Rent locally
Golf-focused week — 5+ rounds at multiple courses	Bring your own
Bangkok as one stop on a wider Asia trip	Rent locally

Stay in Bangkok, play everywhere

Bangkok is the best base for a Thailand golf trip. Most top courses are within 45–90 minutes by road, and the city's central hotels put you within reach of everything.

Grand Hyatt, InterContinental, Renaissance

Walk directly to LENGOLF in under 8 minutes. The closest hotels to our Mercury Ville location.

BTS accessibleLangsuan / Wireless Road

Sindhorn Midtown, Kimpton, Athenee, Okura

8–12 min walk or one BTS stop to Chidlom. Quiet residential streets close to Lumpini Park.

BTS accessibleSukhumvit / Siam

Novotel Ploenchit, Mercure Siam

One BTS stop to Chidlom — 10 minutes door-to-door. Great base for exploring the wider city.

LENGOLF tip

Staying near BTS Chidlom means you can warm up or wind down every evening at LENGOLF — a 2-minute walk from most Ploenchit hotels. Browse Bangkok hotels near LENGOLF

Getting around Bangkok

BTS Skytrain for daily movement

Fast, air-conditioned, no traffic. Buy a Rabbit card for faster payments. LENGOLF is at BTS Chidlom Exit 1 — Sukhumvit and Silom lines both connect here.

Grab for golf course trips

Grab works seamlessly in Bangkok. For courses outside the city, book a Grab Car Plus or Just Van — they fit golf bags. Most drivers accept the destination without issue.

Transfers to Hua Hin courses

Black Mountain and Banyan are 90 minutes south of Bangkok. Many golfers book a minivan transfer through their hotel or the course directly — around ฿2,000–3,000 each way.
