UPDATE May 1, 2021:  On April 29, 2021 – the Thai Government and Department of Health announced the Golf Quarantine will be suspended effective May 1, 2021 due to the current rise in COVID cases in Thailand.  We will update when further information is available for the restart of Golf Quarantine.

On December 7, 2020, the Thai Government and Department of Health approved GQ (Golf Quarantine) where international visitors can visit Thailand and complete their 12-day quarantine at an approved and certified golf resort. During the quarantine, golfers are able to play golf under strict safety and hygiene measures similar to those standards in ASQ (alternative state quarantine) hotels.  There are 6 golf resorts that have been approved to accept quarantine golfers.  Once certain criteria is met, there is a 12 day processing time from the golf course before booking can be finalized. More details will follow when available.

Golfers will still be required to have the following:

  1. VISA – please check with the Royal Thai Embassy in home country. There are 61 countries that are VISA exempt.  For those countries with a 30 days visa exemption – you are allowed an additional 15 days that you are in quarantine
  2. Certificate of entry (COE) to Thailand from the embassy before traveling to Thailand
  3. Fit to Fly Health Certificate issued a maximum of  72 hours prior to departure
  4. Negative COVID-19 test result issued a maximum of 72 hours prior to departure.
  5. Medical insurance covering all expenditures of medical treatment, including COVID-19, while traveling to Thailand in an amount of at least 100,000 USD (the insurance must cover the whole duration of stay in Thailand).

Each resort has specific rules and regulations – please see the details below. Some courses have not released package and pricing details.  We will update this information as it becomes available.

    • This is the 2nd time i engaged GolfAsia for the HCM package. What impressed me much was they archived my last record and was able to recommend me 'new' courses to play this time. As was the last trip, they were organised and reliable. The arrangements (including a golf game that required speedboat transfer) were seamless and hassle-free.
      Well done, GolfAsia. Looking forward to another trip by you.

    • My mates and I have been doing golfing trips to Asia for 10 years now. This time we used Golfasian and they were the best so far. You just want reliability with these arrangements and Golfasian provided that with very friendly, english speaking drivers. Good work Golfasian, we'll be back next year.

    • Just back from a 4 night trip to Phuket for 54 holes of golf, at Blue Canyon (Lakes Course), Laguna and Loch Palm. All fantastically organised (flights excluded) by Win. We started with 7 people went down to 5 and then back up to six, and then 1 departing a day early. All the changes were handled smoothly and with out complaint by the Golfasian team. From arrival to departure everything was smooth and on time. I've already recommended their services to another group looking for a trip later in the year. This group will be back again. Thank you to all involved.
