What should I know about lightning safety while golfing in Thailand?

• Thailand's tropical climate can lead to sudden thunderstorms, especially during the rainy season.

It's crucial to keep an eye on the weather forecast before heading out to the course.

If you see dark clouds gathering or hear thunder, it's best to head for shelter immediately. • When you're on the course and lightning strikes are a concern, look for designated shelters or clubhouses.

Avoid standing under trees, as they can attract lightning.

The general rule is to wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before resuming play to ensure the storm has passed. • Golf courses in Thailand often have lightning alert systems in place, so listen for warnings from course marshals or announcements.

Being aware and prepared can make your round safer and more enjoyable.
