From the untouched
beaches and transcendent
temples of Myanmar to the
mystical mountains and
blinding tropical white sand
beaches of Vietnam, to the
otherworldly destination
hot spots like Cambodia and
Laos, to the well-oiled golf
tourism machines of Thailand,
Malaysia, and Indonesia, SE
Asia may be the best bargain
in exotic golf today.
While golf is in a funk around the world, fair winds are blowing
through SE Asia as operators are inventing new ways to attract some
tourist dollars already flowing through the region.
The winners are savvy golfing tourists!
There are amazing packages online in Thailand and other nearby
countries playing on courses ranging from above average to great.
These packages coupled with a good deal on airfare will surely
transform the concept of picking up a few extra tourist dollars, into
packaging real destination trips of a lifetime.
A new golf development boom is blossoming in places like Vietnam,
Myanmar, and even Cambodia with many of the new venues aimed
at destination travelers with a penchant for golf plus a little or a lot
more.
Golf and Beach packages abound in infinite variety in terms of
accommodations and quantity and budget
Whether you want lots of beach and a little golf, an equal dose
of each, side tours, or full blown gorging on a two serving all day
golf buffet, you can have it. Like never before, tour operators are
eminently flexible in customizing and even making last minute
adjustments.

Working around the rainy seasons can result in some ridiculous
bargains. What many international tourists don’t get is that there is
a lot of golf played in the rainy seasons here. In many countries few
locals even carry umbrellas as the rains are fairly predictable and
easy to wait out. While there are some extra heavy times of the year,
region by region to be avoided, the early to middle parts of the rainy
season are often a good bet for some great golf at some very low
prices.
