What should I know about the weather when planning a golf trip to Thailand?

• Thailand's tropical climate means you'll want to consider the season when planning your golf getaway.

The best time to visit for golfing is typically from November to February, when temperatures are more moderate and rainfall is less frequent.

This is when many golfers flock to the courses, so it can be busier and slightly pricier. • If you're planning to golf during the hot season, which runs from March to May, be prepared for higher temperatures and humidity.

It's wise to schedule your tee times early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the peak heat of the day.

Hydration and sunscreen are essential! • The rainy season, from June to October, sees more frequent downpours, particularly in places like Chiang Mai and Hua Hin.

While the courses may be quieter and green, it's recommended to keep an eye on the weather forecasts and be flexible with your plans to avoid rain interruptions.
