Just returned from some extremely lovely golf days in Thailand
Hi Jakob
Just returned from some extremely lovely golf days in Thailand, we would like to give you some response to the two separate itineraries we bought from you.
The first little week in Hua Hin Anantara Resort worked out perfectly. Everything was indeed under control, it all came together and the drivers came rather half an hour early than 3 minutes late. They were ready by the beautiful golf clubs upon arrival and at no point was there a reason for raised eyebrows. That we also got a green fee refunded, when one of us was unable to make it, well, this emphasizes the successful arrangement. The hotel was very lovely. We only ate there once and from there on we went to Hua Hin and found some wonderful very local seafood restaurants. The hotel shuttlebus arrangement also worked out impeccably.
We also had a lovely little week at the Centara Villas Phuket, Karon Beach. Here, everything came together as well, from the airport pickup, the transfer between hotel and golf course and the planned golf arrangements. The golf courses are very nice! Since we had some different wishes for choice of course, you had it immediately done, so we are very satisfied. We made a change ourselves at the end. This by an agreement with your contact at Red Mountain and it also worked perfectly. We preferred to walk, which was not possible at Red Mountain. Therefore we took the last day at Loch Palm also.
Our conclusion is, that if gulf is the focus, there is no reason for the hassle of going down to Phuket. There are equally as wonderful courses in Hua Hin, we think.
We have learned a little from the trips. No way a criticism of either your advice nor of the arrangements, but we had not tried this before. As beginners (and probably still a few more years like one:o)), we must keep in mind:
- asking for golf courses near the hotel for the travel time not to exceed three hours a day.
- asking for ordinary and not necessarily the most advanced (and thus usually difficult/challenging) courses.
- having one or more resting days in between the days of golf.
- asking for courses, not requiring mandatory cart, as we value the great importance of exercise during the day of the golf.
It has been great and we will come back!!
Friendly regards,
Mogens and Anne-Marie
