The final stop on our trip to Vietnam was Hoi An, which is next to Danang – the cutoff point between North and South Vietnam. Hoi An is famous for its lantern festival, which happens every night but is even bigger once a month, when we have a full moon. Bruce timed our visit for […]
2026 Quy Nhon
After a couple of days in Nha Trang we continued up the coast to Quy Nhon. We couldn’t come here earlier since they had no availabilty on the golf course but it was nice to see the two different beach locations. Quy Nhon was a bit cleaner and quieter with a more diverse tourist base. […]
2026 Nha Trang
We had a late change to our plans since we couldn’t get on the golf courses in Quy Nhon on the weekend due to a big competition, so we cut across to the Beach for a two night stay in Nha Trang. This was a place we had considered but dropped since it would have […]
2026 Dalat
We left Phan Thiet for a leasurely 150km drive to Dalat, unfortunately the toll road was washed out so we had to take the rural route, meaning the trip took 5 hours, doing an average speed of 40 – 50 kms an hour max. As we drove through the mountains, we had some great views […]
2026 Phan Thiet – Vietnam
We left Saigon and Toa (our driver) took us on a leisurely drive to Phan Thiet, a beach resort town 3 hours North. The town itself was quite large, but Bruce didn’t really see it since he rested on the day off. Our hotel was the Radison and was a few kilometres out of town, […]
2026 Saigon stay
We left Melaka and flew to Vietnam where we met up with Debbie and Neil in Ho Chi Min City to start the South Vietnam Golfing Excursion. Our first game of golf was at Tan Son Nhat Golf course. As you can see, we all wore the team golf shirt, sponsored by Margaret House. This […]
2026 Melaka
In March of this year, we started our golf holiday in Melaka, Malaysia. We arrived at KLIA around 10pm, and then caught a taxi for 2 hours to Melaka. The entry into the city was very beautiful, if you like coloured lighting and bright light decorations. The street that our hotel was on was all […]
Chiang Mai – November 2025
This trip we decided to stay in one place for the two weeks in Thailand so that we wouldn’t be packing and unpacking, wasting days in travelling. At this time of the year, Chiang Mai, in the mountains of Thailand, is meant to be cooler and we know it has a few golf courses for […]
Day Trip from Chiang Mai to Lampang
Since neither of us like visiting most tourist attractions, especially temples, Bruce planned a day trip to a nearby town. We got up early, for us, and caught a Grab taxi (90 baht) to the train station to catch the #8 Special Train to Khun Tan (50 baht each). We had to ask for help […]
Stop Overs in Malaysia
Since Malaysian Airlines had such a good offer, we decided to fly them and do a stopover in Malaysia. The flight was ok, though the plane was so small that it didn’t have an entertainment system built into the seat. We connected up to their WiFi and eventually worked out that we could watch movies, […]
