Our connecting flight is in Dubai where the two groups from Durban
and Johannesburg meet to board on an onward flight to Bangkok,
arriving at noon in the famous Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
Once you have gone through immigration, the luxury minibuses
and the welcoming staff will take you through to a heaven tour
destination– Woodlands Hotel & Resort in Pattaya north.

Bangkok to Pattaya is a 2-hour drive with only with one stopover for
refreshments halfway. The Woodland Hotel has hosted us for 12 years
and it’s an experience one cannot get enough off from the day you
arrive.

This is home for the next 7 nights so after checking in and going for a long jetlag orientation walk
through Pattaya, you get the option to come to a relaxing swim at a hotel with 2 luxurious swimming
pools with a majestic swim-up bar. Evening time will be more of a Pattaya nightlife orientation for
the first-timers and a time to explore and experience the Thai food and culture. Prepare for the best
experience in PATTAYA.

   No golfing happens during these days, as it is a day dedicated to getting some rest. Most
   people usually use this day for leisure, e.g. shopping, foot and body massage and if you are
   a foodie this is the time to try out different types of food and to learn about the Thai culture.
   Please explore and make the most of your experience in Pattaya and find out what Thailand
   has to offer.

There are other activities you can include during your stay such as a full day cruise on a luxury
catamaran, where you will be visiting 3 Islands. This cruise allows tourists to go fishing, snorkelling,
swimming, sun and tanning. During this luxury cruise, you also get to party the day away and experience
a great buffet lunch between Islands.

Visit Pattaya Shooting Park and take on a gunning experience in an outdoor shooting range.
Get your hands on top standard weapons such as .22, .45, 9mm caliber handguns, rifles, and more.
Feel safe in the hands of professional and certified instructors and the park’s high standard weapons
facility. Bring your friends looking for a thrill and partake in this stress-relieving activity.

This is the perfect day to dedicate your time to exploring the city.

    On this day we get to meet the
    Thai people and get ready to
    play Golf.
    The St. Andrews 2000 Golf Club
    in Rayong was designed by
    Desmond Muirhead in the year
    2000. It is located 120 kilometres
    southeast of Bangkok and a
                                            St. Andrews 2000
    short drive from the seaside
    resort of Pattaya. Playing Golf
    there during your first visit to
    Thailand is a must. The sprawling
                                            Golf Club in Rayong
    par 74 course adjoins its sister
    layout, the older and well-
    established par 72 layouts of the
    Rayong Green Valley Country
    Club.

    It also has an astounding
    backmarker length of 7700yards,
    thanks to two endlessly long
    par 6. The course demands
    both power and accuracy as the
    water hazards are strategically
    located. If your handicap is
    18 or lower, the course will be
    very challenging, with elevated
    tees and greens, split elevation
    fairways coupled with huge
    putting surfaces. It is is a course
    for a true golfer who can handle
    such challenges.

                                             This is a high-end golf course and club as it is
                                            every golfer’s dream to play a round of golf at St.
                                          Andrews in bonnie Scotland. St. Andrews 2000 is an
                                           uncompromisingly tough golf course that will test
                                          even the best golfers and push them to their limits.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND TOUR CONDITIONS:
Price: The price of the tour is subject to Standard Terms and Conditions, exchange rates and airfares and taxes at
time of final payment. The price of the package is based on a minimum of 35 passengers and a reduction in this
number may lead to a price adjustment for the tour package.

Deposit and Payment: A deposit of R9 000.00 PER PERSON is payable on booking and is not refundable unless 42
days cancellation prior to departure or in the case of the cancellation of the tour by the tour operators. You are therefore
encouraged to take out travel insurance which includes a cancellation clause. A final account will be e-mailed to you
8 weeks prior to departure or on a date shortly thereafter and is payable within 96 hours (4 days) of presentation. No
cancellations can be accepted after 6 weeks (42 days) prior to departure and the full relevant package price for the
tour is payable if cancellations are received after this date. If the booking is made 6 weeks or less before said departure
date, the full contract price is to be paid at the time of booking and may be subject to late ticket issue fees from the
airline. A late payment fee of R590.00 pp will be charged on all accounts not settled by the stipulated date.

Itinerary: The itinerary details are subject to airline timetable changes, as well as weather and technical influences.

Handicaps: All golfers must be able to provide proof of handicap upon request at the courses while on tour or non-
handicapped players will be required to play off an 18 handicap.

Passport, Visas & Health requirements: We provide basic advice to South African passport holders regarding
visa requirements. Clients travelling on a passport of a different nationality should check with their embassy or
consulate and must make sure they have all the necessary valid travel and health documents to comply with the
requirements of the country they are visiting or travelling through.

Liabilities: DIAMOND LEISURE & GOLF TRAVEL and/or their agents, in making arrangements for air and land
services, act as agents only and on condition that they shall not be liable for any injury, death, damage, loss, accidental
delay or irregularity that may be occasioned by any defect in any vehicle or form of conveyance or mishap at any place
of accommodation, or for any reason whatsoever.

Insurance: Passengers are advised to have travel insurance for injury, death, accident and medical expenses,
enforced pre-tour cancellation and loss of luggage.

Changes to bookings: In the event of a change being made to your flight arrangements, including post-tour
extensions and breakaways, an additional fee will be charged by the operating airline. Please consult our office for this
additional charge which varies by airline and destination.

Cancellations and Refunds: No refund can be made for visits, sightseeing, meals, transfers, accommodation,
golf or other services included in the tour price which were not utilized. Should the client wish to cancel for whatever
reason, The Golf Travel Company must be advised in writing under the signature of the customer. No air tickets will
be issued until full and final payment is received and the airline’s late ticket issue levy will apply in the event of late
payment.

Medical Certificate: A doctor’s certificate confirming good health will be required for passengers 65 years and
older.

Golf cars: The Golf Travel Company will book golf cars when requested to do so by clients but cannot accept
responsibility for availability on the day.

Acceptance: The payment of the deposit by you will be deemed to be your acceptance of these tour conditions. No
booking can be confirmed until the booking form and deposit are received.
