Thursday 1st November, 2018
We will assemble at the impressive King Shaka
International airport in anticipation of our 19:10
Emirates flight to Dubai. Before checking in Kyle will
give the “opening speech” detailing the exciting trip
ahead.
Friday 2nd November, 2018
Our layover (3 hours) in Dubai gives you just
enough time to stock up on Duty free items before
boarding our flight to Bangkok, Thailand. We land
at the impressive Suvarnabhumi Airport at roughly
17:55 local time. After passing through immigration
we will be collected by air-conditioned vans and
transported to our hotel in Hua Hin.
Our amazing hotel for the week is the 4* Amari
Hua Hin. Golfers will enjoy the modern comfort at
the Amari Hua Hin. Situated on the Gulf of Thailand,
the Hua Hin resort offers top-notch accommodation
in a relaxed garden setting. Constructed in 2011
and opened in 2012 the Amari Hua Hin features
accommodation ranging from deluxe rooms to
expansive suites.
The rooms are stylishly furnished and offer
golfers spacious living areas with modern
amenities. Local markets and beaches are
just steps away from the resort, which makes
it a good choice for anyone on a Hua Hin Golf
tour. Amari Hua Hin provides a great blend of
convenience, cost, and comfort.
After checking into the hotel, those wanting to
get some rest may do so while others can dive
straight into the Thailand nightlife by taking a
walk on the streets and seeing what Hua Hin has
to offer.

Saturday 3rd November, 2018
Our first full day in Thailand beckons, we allow everyone
to lie in a bit before departing for our first round of
golf on the trip at Springfield Royal Country Club. The
traditional Jack Nicklaus designed golf course located off
the Hua Hin bypass road is one of the best in area.
The course at Springfield has been designed to meet the
high demands of a recognized championship golf course,
and yet it remains an enjoyable challenge for golfers of
all standards. Each hole has a minimum of five tees to
play from, water hazards regularly come into play, and
each hole presents its challenge and character requiring
finesse or unrestraint. Accuracy is required at all times
as the rough comprises of a series of hillocks and holes
lined by a forest of mature trees.
Sunday, 4th November, 2018
After breakfast we will meet in the hotel lobby and depart
on our very exciting Eat Like a Local Food Tour. On this
3½ hour tour, your guide will take you off the beaten
track. You will try some amazing tasting Thai food in
humble surrounds. You will be eating with locals, which
just backs up the age-old adage that ‘locals always know
where to find the best food in town’. The tour comprises
of around 15 food tastings stopping at 5 restaurants
& 1 street food vendor. Slurp and eat noodles within
a traditional 2 storey Thai house near the railway line.
Sample Thai sweets that will challenge and delight your
senses. Sample the subtle flavours of Northern Thai
cuisine.After the tour, perhaps spend some time on the
beach soaking up the sun, come on you deserve it! There
are loads of markets keeping you entertained or chill out
having a cocktail at the hotel swimming pool, the choice
is yours.
The format of the day will be 4 Ball Alliance (2 scores to
count) gently easing golfers into the competition.
After golf, take your time walking the streets of Hua Hin,
visit the Cicada Night market, grab a bite to eat and take
in the Thai nightlife.

Into The Wild // SECTION 4
Monday 5th November, 2018
Its round 2 of the golfing action and today we have a
special treat for you, the infamous Banyan Golf Club.
Built among a former pineapple plantation, Banyan Golf
Club opened in October 2008. Immediately following,
the course was awarded 2009 Best New Course in
Asia-Pacific by the readers of Asian Golf Monthly. Since
then Banyan Golf Club course, clubhouse, and staff
have consistently claimed ‘Top 3 in Asia’ awards and
have been featured in the ‘Rolex Top 1000’ in the World.
Thailand golf course architect Pirapon Namatra
from Golf East designed the world class 18-hole
championship golf course and is known to be one of
the most natural in the country.
Todays format of Betterball Stableford will keep golfers
on their toes on golf’s traditional “moving day”.
After golf you have time to do whatever the heart
desires. Kyle will offer some tips on what to see and
where to go. The , Khao Takiab and the Venezia are
just some of the many things to do and see.
Tuesday 6th November, 2018
Its time to explore Hua Hin and surrounds, after
breakfast we depart on our Huay Mongkol Temple & Hua
Hin Floating Market Tour. Drive to visit Huay Mongkol
Temple located west of Hua Hin. Wat Huay Mongkol was
home to the monk who was famed for his “miracles”
and it houses the largest statue of Luang Pu Thuat in
Thailand. His Reverend Luang Poh Tuad is one of the
kingdom’s famous and highly revered Buddhist monks.
Many people recognize and remember Luang Poh
Tuad for the miraculous act of having turned seawater
into fresh water in one incident and, therefore, it was
believed that he had supernatural powers. Two massive
black wooden elephants stand either side of the steps,
decoratively carved and festooned in a variety of tulle
ribbons and bows. Local people circle the elephants,
walking under the bellies of the carved beasts, nine times
for good luck. As they walk they pray, or ask for favours,
merit, happiness, or just to be lucky in their lives.
Continue to visit the Hua Hin Sam Phan Nam Floating
Market located on a 100-rai plot. The market offers
tourists a number of food and shopping areas with a
traditional Siamese theme recalling the days of King
Rama V and King Rama VI. There is a train service that
will run inside the project as well as a reproduction of
the well-known Hua Him Railway Station.
After the half day tour it’s time to relax, why not spoil
yourself with a cocktail at the hotel before heading
out and having dinner at one of the many famous
restaurants in town.

Wednesday 7th November, 2018
Its final round time, our last day of scheduled
golf on the trip. Today we play Individual
Stableford with the overall prize on the line.
We certainly have saved the “best for last” as
we head onto Black Mountain Golf Club. Set in
a valley surrounded by large black granite rock
covered mountains, the Hua Hin golf course was
the site for Asian PGA tour events in 2009 and
2010 and the Europe versus Asia match play
Royal Trophy in 2011. In 2012 and each year
since Black Mountain was selected as one of the
100 best golf courses outside the USA by Golf
Digest magazine. In 2014 Black Mountain hosted
The Thailand Classic, the first European Tour
event to be staged in Thailand. The Thailand
Classic also held s design elements on many of
the holes. Its no surprise this golf course has
been awarded “Best golf course in Thailand” for
7 years in a row.
An informal prizegiving will take place after golf,
Kyle will talk about the golfing highlights from
the trip as well as hand out prizes (to those
deserving).
Thursday 8th November, 2018
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an
end, today is the final full day and you have it
completely at leisure. All the time in the world
to shop, buy gifts for loved ones back home or
perhaps you want to sneak in an extra round of
golf (extra cost)? Kyle will be more than willing to
help arrange your day.
Spend your last evening at leisure before meeting
in the hotel lobby for the late transfer back to
Bangkok airport (+- 9pm).
Thursday 9th November, 2018
Our early morning flight (03:30) departs
Suvarnabhumi Airport en-route for Dubai.
Another 3-hour layover in Dubai before we head
on back to good old Durban. Its time to share our
amazing stories with both friends and family.
