Golf Holidays in Thailand: Sorting the Baht

Thailand has quietly become one of Asia's best golf destinations, with championship courses around Bangkok, Hua Hin and Phuket at green fees that undercut Europe. To enjoy it smoothly, buy Thai baht before departure through a commission-free provider such as Travel FX.

Caddies are cash

Nearly every Thai course assigns a caddie, and their fee plus tip is paid in cash at the end of the round. Drinks carts, halfway houses and club restaurants often prefer notes too.

Getting around between rounds

Taxis to courses, massages for tired shoulders and evening meals out all lean on cash, especially outside the big hotels.

Before the first tee

Travel FX has supplied currency online for 18+ years, offers 60+ currencies commission-free and carries a 5-star Trustpilot rating.
