Weekends in Thailand often mean there is a round of golf in store. As my friends in Canada squeeze in one more round as the temperature drops, we try to get the earlier T-times to avoid the mid 30 Celsius temperatures during the day. Yes there are distinct advantages of living in these parts and so you just have to drink more liquids to avoid drying up. Here are a couple of shots of the Banyan Golf Course in Hua Hin where I played two rounds with some friends from the school Bridget teaches at.
There are the usual hazards, water, trees, bunkers and pineapple plantations on the course. Once you avoid these, the fairways are actually a good place to land the ball.
Sometimes, you just don't want to know !! and NO, I did not get a massage here...
Certainly the appeal of this course is that is is not flat, and there are no other buildings in site, nor any phone towers!. It is amidst some rolling hills, very beautiful.
One of the challenges to hit over the water but avoid the drinks tower. The watering hole is a must stop on this course.

When in Thailand, after a hard day of golfing, drinking and flirting with the caddies… you absolutely need to get a massage…
