The island of Phuket off the western coast alone
boasts three of the country's best courses. There is, of course, much to do besides golf. The islands of the Andaman are world-famous diving sites. All kinds of water sports are also available. Non-athletic pursuits available in Phuket include sightseeing around the old quarters, with its distinct Sino-Portuguese architecture and its multicultural blend of Malay, Chinese and Thai. Accommodations run the whole gamut, from beach bungalows to exclusive properties rated above five-star.

Phuket's year-round warm weather makes it an ideal venue for all kinds of outdoor activities, ranging from water sports such as sailing and scuba diving to tennis, beach volleyball and golf. Of the three first-class courses on the island, perhaps the most famous is the Blue Canyon, host to the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1994 and again in 1998. Additional rounds can be played at the Phuket Country Club, the island's first. Thai Muang Beach, meanwhile, is one of the prettiest in the country, with views of Phuket's azure blue ocean, mountains and forested hills. |
