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, […]
2025 Family Update
Bruce ordered some wine in June and this automatically entered him into a competition to go to an Eagles Big Lunch, just before the Derby, on 25th July. We decided to make it a two day event and went up on the Thursday to play golf at RFGC. When we arrived, we were told that […]
Bangpoo Golf and Sporting Club
Last time the Skillen’s and the Darby’s went on a golf tour, we got to the last game and the girls decided to go shopping, which left the boys to go play golf by themselves. We played Bangpoo that time and loved it. This time we were looking forward to seeing if the course was […]
Thana City Country Club
We played Thana City today since they have a special on Mondays. Being back in Bangkok meant that the course was very crowded. Since on Neil and Bruce played, they put another golfer with us, he was a very nice Japanese restaurant owner named Koji. The resort was a gated community and had the best […]
Phra Nakhon Si – Ayutthaya
One of the biggest Khmer Ruins in Thailand is in Ayutthaya, which is just a small diversion on the road from Pak Chong to Bangkok. Bruce wanted to see this last ruin, but the rest of the group wasn’t interested anymore, so while Bruce walked around it, they sat outside and read books. There loss. […]
Ban Mai Vintage
It is not often that I would do a post on a hotel we have stayed at, but this one was so quirky that it deserves a post. When we first arrived, we couldn’t find reception since there was so much clutter. When we were taken to our rooms, we weaved our way around clutter. […]
Kirimaya Golf Resort
We are now in Pak Chong, which is about 2 hours East of Bangkok. This town is a huge holiday destination for Thai people and have many tourist themed parks. We couldn’t really find much we wanted to do here, except play golf and use it as a staging point between golf games and Bruce’s […]
Mountain Creek Golf Club
We left Korat this morning and travelled to Pak Chong. This is only a 1hour 40 minute drive so we stopped at Mountain Creek Golf Club on the way. The people we met at Korat Golf Club weren’t very impressed with this golf course, but their main complaint was the beer prices, so we weren’t […]
Korat Country Club
We had a game booked at Rooks Khorat Golf Club (note the spelling of Khorat varies, so both are acceptable). I read some reviews yesterday and they were not good. I looked at the map on Hole 19 (great program if you don’t already use it) and the course looked dubious. We drove down the […]
Phimai Historical Park – near Korat
We left Khon Kaen and were driven to Korat, via another Khmer ruin. This site contains the Prasat Hin Phimai (tower or temple), one of the most important Mahayana Buddhist temples in Thailand, dating back about 1000 years. On the drive we stopped at a service station for a stretch and bathroom break. We were […]
