Golf Holidays in Pattaya
Pattaya is a haven for sun seekers, where great value accompanies unrelenting sunshine and first class service. The city is also famous for its after hours action – centred on the strip of the beach stretching from the harbour, Pattaya comes alive after dark, with a myriad of bars, clubs, shows and performances. If perfect beaches, buzzing nightlife and championship golf in the sun sounds appealing, then look no further than Pattaya.
In addition to the obvious delights, Pattaya is surrounded by around twenty golf courses. Of these, the championship tracks at Siam Country Club, Burapha, and the extraordinary creation at St Andrews 2000, which features two par 6s, comes highly recommended as some of the best courses in Thailand. Then choose from a variety of accommodation options from 3* hotels to 5* deluxe resorts.
Siam Country Club near Pattaya is one of Thailand's best known golf facilities, being home to the first privately-owned golf club in the country and enjoying a comprehensive level of facilities.
Firstly, the club’s name is merely a tribute to the home of golf. The par 74 creation measures an astonishing 7,777 yards, and Muirhead has gone to town by fashioning some truly remarkable holes.
Laem Chabang International Country Club is as fun as it is challenging. The course has three distinct nines that each offer their own individual test. You'll need a buggy but you can enjoy striking views of the surrounding area.
Pattaya is home to a variety of attractions to suit everyone, the Floating Market is incredibly unique where you take a boat to visit all the stalls within the canals. Another attraction is the Wat Phra Yai which sits at the top of a forested hill, where once reaching the top you can see amazing panoramic views over Pattaya City and Bay.
Located just 7km from Pattaya sits the island of Koh Larn, where several boats every day leave Pattaya to reach the island. It may only be small but there are 6 beaches to visit, all with their own character, and there are a handful of resorts and hotels on the island to be able to enjoy Koh Larn for a few nights.
For those looking for a lively evening, Walking Street will definitely provide you with an eventful night. Stretching out to 500 metres, Walking Street is arguably the best nightlife spot in Thailand, where no vehicles are even allowed to drive through from 6pm and the place starts to come to life.
