As we step into April, we're excited to bring you the latest updates and opportunities in golf travel across Asia. The recent Amari Skins Golf Week was a tremendous success, and now we're eagerly looking forward to the milestone 10th anniversary of our signature tournament, the Centara World Masters. This spectacular event will welcome over 400 golfers from more than 20 countries, promising an unforgettable experience for all participants.
In light of the recent earthquake centered in Myanmar, we want to reassure you that everything in Thailand is operating as normal - airports, golf courses, and transportation are fully functional, and there has been no impact on travel plans. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Myanmar who have been affected by this tragedy.
We're also pleased to announce that spots are still available for the exclusive Anantara World Golf Championship, featuring prestigious courses including Amata Spring Country Club, Robinswood Golf & Country Club, Alpine Golf Club Bangkok, and Nikanti Golf Club. This is a rare opportunity to play some of Thailand's finest courses in one exceptional package. Additionally, we still have some spots available at the Vietnam World Masters in Danang in early September for those looking to experience Vietnam's spectacular coastal courses.
This month, we're spotlighting the hidden gem of Khao Yai. Located just 2.5 hours north of Bangkok at an elevation of approximately 400 meters, this serene destination offers a year-round comfortable climate, clean air, and an abundance of natural beauty. With its peaceful atmosphere, exceptional golf courses, and quality accommodations, Khao Yai provides the perfect escape for golf travelers seeking something beyond the typical destinations.
Looking ahead, we're slowly entering the low season when courses become less crowded. Between June and October, you'll find reduced rates at both courses and hotels, making it a fantastic time to plan your golf holiday in Asia. If you haven't arranged your trip yet, now is the ideal moment to secure these advantageous rates.
Behind the scenes, our dedicated team is busy exploring new destinations to expand our offerings. We'll begin announcing these exciting additions in our May newsletter, so stay tuned for fresh opportunities to experience golf in Asia.
For daily updates, insights, and news from around the region, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Our team regularly posts valuable information that can enhance your planning and overall golf experience in Asia.
What's next? Have you planned your trip yet? If not, chat with our friendly golf travel experts who are available 24/7 to help you create the perfect golf holiday tailored to your preferences.
With that, enjoy the newsletter and may many birdies lie ahead on your golfing journey.
