In April 2025, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reinstated Thailand’s Category 1 safety status, confirming compliance with international aviation standards. This upgrade enables Thai airlines to expand direct flights to and from the United States, improving access and travel confidence.
This development enhances golf travel by streamlining routes into Thailand’s top destinations, including Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Bangkok, and Phuket. Each region offers a mix of championship golf, cultural attractions, and quality hospitality. Notable courses include Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf & Spa Resort, Red Mountain Golf Club in Phuket, and Nikanti Golf Club near Bangkok. These venues are widely recognized for their design, course conditions, and overall guest experience.
With improved air connectivity and a strong golf offering, Thailand is well positioned as a preferred destination for quality-focused golf travel.
