Check out our list of the top golf courses in Bangkok. Some obvious picks here but some that may surprise you.

Night golf in Thailand has become a very popular activity among the locals and it’s easy to see why. There’s a great choice of golf courses to play, whether you are in Bangkok, Pattaya or in the north.

Back in the 1980’s and early ‘90s, many Thai golf courses were built as part of residential property developments with developers hoping that by adding a golf course to the master plans it would help to sell the houses. It worked at first but after the first Asian crisis things stalled and following the market crash of ’97, golf courses owners had to rethink their plans and try to make the golf course pay its way. Around the same time many of the most famous golf course designers such as Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones Jr. were looking to ply their trade in Asia and some of their names appear on this list of the best golf courses in Thailand.
