Golfasian announces new Golf Lifestyle Tours

Golfasian, a leading Thailand and Vietnam golf tour operator, today announced the first two of their new luxury Golf Lifestyle Experience tours. The new golf tours are aimed at the high end golf lifestyle travel market – the fastest growing segment of the golf travel industry, and allow participants to have a total golf destination experience.

Through these two tours, golfers will get to play the premier courses in each destination, many of which are normally reserved for members only. Moreover, each participant will get to see attractions and take part in activities with local experts, revealing the best resorts, sights, and adventures in each destination.

“Golfasian’s extension into the outdoor lifestyle experience travel market is a natural evolution for our luxurious golf holiday packages,” said Golfasian’s Managing Director Mark Siegel.

“These exciting trips are much more than a golf vacation. They are a total exploration of golf, history and culture that opens up Thailand and Vietnam for what they really are – dynamic, cosmopolitan, cultured, affordable, and safe countries. The golf is world class, the accommodations old world colonial luxurious, and the sights are exotic beyond description, and that’s only part of the allure.

“From the modern capital cities of Bangkok and Saigon to the thousand year old culture of ancient Siam and Vietnam, from the sunny beaches of Phuket and Phan Thiet to the mountains of Chiang Mai and Dalat, the Thailand Golf Expedition and the Vietnam Golf Trail deliver the ultimate in total golfing lifestyle experiences.”

The best of “Thailand Golf Expedition” covers the four top golf destinations within Thailand – Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi (River Kwai), and Hua Hin. Thailand’s best golf courses, including Thai Country Club (site of Tiger Woods’ PGA victory in 1997), are offered in the package.

Top resorts in each destination showcase authentic Thai lifestyle, unique service, and colonial period influences. In keeping with the expedition theme, participants will experience soft adventure activities and explore historical and cultural sights.

For example, seeing the traditional way of Thai life by long-tailed boat, elephant riding in northern Thailand, visiting the world renowned “Golden Triangle”, trekking to “Hellfire Pass” in the Thai-Burmese, jungle and up-close live Tiger feedings are all included in the once-in-a-lifetime tour. Additional programs are available including Thai cooking classes, spa and massage treatments, and tours of an authentic floating market.

The best of “Thailand Golf Expedition” culminates with a gala farewell party for all participants at a local seafood restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. An optional Phuket excursion is also available for those who want to experience golf on this idyllic tropical island.

Golfers on the “Vietnam Golf Trail” will start in the northern Vietnam capital of Hanoi, and make their way south, stopping for golf and exploration in Halong Bay, Danang, Hoi An, Dalat, and Phan Thiet, before finishing in Ho Chi Minh City, the economic capital of the country and home to the widest selection of golf courses in Vietnam.

All of Vietnam’s top golf courses from north to south are included on the golf trail package. For example, the Faldo designed Ocean Dunes Golf Club and the award winning Dalat Palace Golf Club are two of the featured golf stops. Those golf travellers who want to re-trace the steps of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, made famous during the American-Vietnam War, will take great pleasure during the stops at the famous battlefields and war sights at “China Beach”, Danang, Dalat, and Chu Chi.

Others who want to learn firsthand about Vietnamese civilization will be fascinated by village life that will be seen during stops in and around Hanoi, Ho An, and Saigon.

Managing Director, Mark Siegel said, “These latest Thailand and Vietnam Golf Lifestyle Experience packages are the most unique and service oriented products available anywhere. Feedback from the initial trips has been excellent with clients commenting favourably about their experiences.

“An additional Indochina Golf Experience tour combining the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand is in the planning process. We are glad to bring these exotic golf destinations to the discerning golf traveller.”
