Thailand’s latest travel reforms offer powerful advantages for golf-focused travel. Free domestic flights, simplified visa processes, digital arrival systems, and expanded air connectivity are making it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to design multi-destination golf experiences across the country.
The government’s “Buy International, Get Free Domestic Flights” program allows foreign visitors to book complimentary domestic tickets. This enables efficient routing between top golf spots like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Hua Hin without added airfare costs.
Visa category consolidation has removed unnecessary layers, making it quicker and easier to bring in international players, staff, or high-value guests. Fewer requirements reduce processing time and improve trip planning.
Thailand’s new digital arrival system (TDAC) replaces paperwork with a simple online form. This helps minimize delays at the airport, which is especially valuable for premium travelers who expect speed and convenience.
Meanwhile, upgraded international airports and new flight routes from Europe, the Middle East, and India are improving long-haul access. This supports smoother group arrivals and expands the pool of reachable markets.
While tourist arrivals are slightly down, this presents an opportunity. Resorts, courses, and service partners may offer better availability, stronger pricing, and higher flexibility for partnership or group arrangements.
With more than 250 courses, diverse landscapes, excellent hospitality, and year-round play, Thailand remains one of the most attractive and reliable destinations for golf travel.
