Golfasian - Asian Golf Holiday Experts in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Laos & Myanmar
Hua Hin (June 18, 2012) – Banyan, The Resort, located in the royal town of Hua Hin made the perfect setting for Thailand golf industry leaders to join together and enjoy their exquisite hospitality. The 5-course welcome dinner prepared by the culinary experts at the Lemongrass restaurant set a scene of what was a weekend of hard talk, ideas and plans to grow Golf in a Kingdom in the future. Mark Siegel, MD of GolfAsian commented “Banyan is a great example of how a development can combine its golf club, resort and residential villas into a complete lifestyle destination, it’s the arrival experience, caddies, course conditions and friendly Thai team members that make you feel so special and welcome in Thailand and Banyan does this very well”. Golf in a Kingdom is a destination marketing initiative started in 2009 to promote and raise the awareness of “the Thai Golf Experience”. The founding golf club members are Banyan Golf Club, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai Highlands Golf Club, Chiang Mai, Muang Kaew Golf Club, Bangkok, Siam Country Club, Pattaya and Thai Country Club, in Bangkok. Black Mountain Golf Club, Hua Hin became a member in 2010. In addition to obtaining overseas golf, lifestyle, and travel media exposure that highlights why Thailand is the number one golfing holiday destination in Asia, club members will be eligible for special benefits offered all of the Golf In A Kingdom golf course and resorts. The program has its own designated website www.golfinakingdom.com and has received over 30,000 hits to date, hosted 9 familiarization trips and has received accolades in over 450 articles and feature stories across the world from the USA to Australia. Also in attendance at the meeting was Mike Sebastian, CEO of Asia Pacific Golf Group, who agreed to support the initiative using their global media platform. This will further develop Thailand’s golf exposure and further differentiate the premium golfing experience from all other destinations. Asia Pacific Golf Group represents leading publications including Asian Golf Monthly, Asian Golf Business, Asian Golf Tourism, Golf Course Industry International, Asian Golf Daily, Asian Golf TV and Asia Pacific Golf Conferences. Sebastian commented “I am extremely fond of Thailand, its people, culture and hospitality and we are willing to support the Golf in a Kingdom program in every way we can. Golf Tourism will take center stage at 2012 Asia Pacific Golf Summit in Brunei of which Banyan Golf Club’s General Manager, Stacey Walton together with Golfasian’s Managing Director Mark Siegel will both be key players on the panel sharing best practices in destination marketing”.

    • Decent service provider, but for the first time felt that they don’t care about client needs and try to sell the most expensive option by default

    • Niki at GolfAsian Thailand put together our golf itinerary on extremely short notice and every part of the experience was efficient and smooth. From organizing the itinerary, managing payments, being picked up at the hotel by fantastic drivers (Sombat and Rocky in Hua Hin are great!), picked up after our round in a timely manner...all of it was fantastic! I recommend you email or call Golfasian directly because my first encounter with them through their online chat was absolutely awful. But I gave them a second chance and Niki came to our rescue. We couldn't be happier and will definitely use GA again!

    • My wife and I have just returned from our Golf Asian organized Hua Hin golfing holiday. This is the fifth time we have used Golfasian and as ever, the service received was excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone considering a golfing holiday in SE Asia.

    • March 2019 marked our fourth and best golf trip so far. This time we visited Hua Hin and Pattaya and Golf Asian out did themselves. Our Bus driver “Rocky” in Hua Hin looked after us perfectly as did “Moo” in Pattaya. Actually Moo has been one of our bus drivers on every trip and we love him to bits. His little giggle of a laugh when listening to our antics is hilarious 😆 We also had the absolute delight of having Bua accompany us on most trips. Bua stayed with us and made sure everything was perfect until we had all teed off.
      So thanks to Golf Asian, rest assured we will be seeing you all again 👍🏼

    • We were in Bali for 4 nights and 5 days golfing trip, had a wonderful holiday. Golfasian's service is super from booking, transport, accomodation and golf games. Special thanks to our drivers, Wira and Wayan who are pleasant and helpful. Thus, we had the opportunity to taste the authentic local food. Thank you very much, Golfasian Bali !
