One of the most fascinating aspects of golfing in Thailand is the
people. You'll find it easy to get a game with other 'Expats' and the
atmosphere is always friendly and fun.
Caddies in Thailand go through three months of training, that makes
them very knowledgeable in golf. Generally female, often young and
pretty, they drive your cart, know what clubs to select, measure
distance, read the contours of greens and also help to keep score. she
will carry your bag around the course with a smile on her face. She
will mark and clean your ball, give you the distances, and some of the
experienced ones will even read your putts. Strangers to Thailand
should beware, however, not to confuse their caddies with the types of
girl who work in the bars of Pattaya. Your young caddie may be
genuinely upset if you upset Thai taboos such as touching her hair or
head, pointing a finger or throwing things about.
