I was trying to get a tee time at Panya Indra on 11/4/05 and was told by this tour company that they are not accepting tee times from non-members. Not sure if this is BS since they are trying to get me to play Bangkok Golf Club. Anyone know if Panya Indra is off limits to visitors? Anyone planning to play Panya Indra on 11/4?

Like most on this thread, I am also an avid golfer as well as having an eye for the ladies. The golf books can be bought at any book store and are also available at the airport. I bought the Thailand Golf Course Players Guide and it is excellent - cost 700 bht. Most hotels have arrangements with selected courses and can make bookings for you if necessary - provided that you are not playing as a single.
If playing by yourself, many courses wont take a booking particularly on weekends - you just turn up and they will join you with some others - members only courses excluded. It may take 30 minutes or so before you get away depending upon the course and bookings.
Have played Panya Indra many times and have a regular caddy there. Also play Pinehurst out past the airport and have a regular caddy there also. It does help, particularly on weekends as they can get you away quicker if playing on your own. I played Pinehurst on Saturday, turned up at 6am and was on the tee at 6:15am and it was a busy day. I always ring the day or so before just to check that I can get on and join and then ring my caddy and make sure she is available. Weekdays on these courses is generally no problem. If you don't like the caddy assigned to you, just ask to change - there is generally no problem - if there is some objection, 100 bht generally overcomes the obstacle.
Night golf is also an interesting event and should not be discounted. There is a lot of fun to be had by all and the caddies, in many cases, are more "playful" than during the day.

or even try Panya Park which is nearby:

Thanks for the info Stayer. I was able to get a tee time on 11/4 at Panya Indra. I'm going there as a single but will probably get hooked up with someone else, I hope. Anyway you say if I don't like the caddy I can request a new one. Having never been to Thailand nor having never played with a caddy what's to look for? Are they generally friendly? Young? Nice looking? Would appreciate any tips you can give me. I don't speak a word or Thai so I don't know if that will be a problem or not.

Gypsyroad - I have played golf at many courses and have in most cases, had a great time and overall I beleive that I play better golf. Reason is simple, if you get a good caddy, she will quickly assess your game and then be able to give you the right clubs, line the ball up on the green, tell you how the green is running etc.
As I mentioned, I have two regular caddies at the courses I frequent and both know my game and I do not argue with their advice - they are almost always right. The caddies in short can be a real asset.
In addition, they can be a lot of fun provided you do not get serious, you treat them with respect, buy them a drink along the way, recognise good value via the tip at the end of the game and not try and "take advantage of them", feel them up etc. If I go to new course, I tend to look for an older (still good looking) rather than younger caddy as their knowledge of the course and experience is valuable.
I speak about 10 words of thai but that has never stopped me having a joke with them, trying to find out a bit about them, their back grounds etc. If you show an interest, they will respond and you get to appreciate many sides of thai culture and some of the hardships many of these ladies have endured in their lives. Many clubs will try and "match" you with a caddy that does speak some english.
From a tip perspective to use the famous thai expression - "its up to you". Me, for my two regular caddies is is 600 bht, otherwise 400 - 500 bht (if they are good and knowledgeable). Give it to them after you have checked your clubs - they generally want you to check in any case and then will put them in the car.
Hope that helps - have a great time

Thanks for the reply. If you can play on 11/4 my tee time is 11:30. It would be nice to play with someone who knows the "ropes".

600Bt for a tip? Am I missing something here? I have been playing golf in Thailand on & off for a few years & I tip 200-300Bt.
Have I been underpaying? This is important to me so can any local golfers please advise.

Might depend on the course. I play mainly in the Pattaya area and I tip 150 to 200 and I always offer drinks food, etc., whenever I'm eatin'.

PS: I've had a few caddies take the Pepsi/Coke home with them!
