Thailand is enhancing its position as a premier golf destination by aligning aviation infrastructure with tourism strategies. This development presents significant opportunities for travel planners focusing on long-haul markets.
The country boasts over 260 golf courses, including renowned venues in Bangkok, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. The tropical climate allows for year-round play, with peak conditions from November to March.
To support increased demand, major airports like Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang are undergoing expansions. Suvarnabhumi Airport’s master plan aims to handle 80 million passengers annually by 2031, positioning Thailand as a regional aviation hub. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration reinstated Thailand’s Category 1 safety status in April 2025, enabling Thai airlines to expand direct flights to and from the United States.
These advancements facilitate easier access for international travelers, making it more convenient to incorporate Thailand into multi-country golf itineraries. The improved connectivity and infrastructure ensure a seamless experience for clients seeking both leisure and sport.
