Bangkok Golfing Excursion....

Bangkok is so very hot during this time of year, where temperatures routinely hover around 33 degrees Celsius [92 degrees Fahrenheit]. Its like a sauna this time of year and it takes drinking lots of water to keep hydrated.

The other disadvantage is that playing a full 18 rounds in the heat makes it difficult to have the energy to get out for Bangkok's famous nightlife.

We played Lakewood, Pinehurst and President golf courses. 18 holes with caddy and cart, weekday, costs around 2,500 Thai Baht [US$65=HK$500] per person which is very reasonable and a discount to what is costs to play in China.

Also, the Ambassador Hotel on Sukumvit Soi 11, is only US$28 [HK$218] per night. It is a slightly rundown hotel but with reasonably clean rooms and a decent buffet breakfast.
