The playing experience
If you are interested in an early or evening round, ask for the exact available session and its quotation. Lighting arrangements, the last starting time and transport hours need to work together. Day and evening schedules can have different conditions, so the final confirmation should name the round you intend to play.
Panya Indra Golf Club opened in 1991 as Thailand's first 27-hole championship-standard course, designed by American architect Ronald Fream on 800 rai of land in northeast Bangkok, near Minburi and Ram Indra. Rather than a single 18-hole layout, the club offers three separate 9-hole courses — Lagoon, Palm, and Garden — each with its own distinct character, which visitors combine in pairs for an 18-hole round.
The Lagoon course carries the most water of the three, with gently rolling fairways flanked by lakes on all but one hole; the Palm and Garden courses are more heavily landscaped, with colorful flowering plants and shrubs framing many of the holes. The signature 4th hole on the Lagoon course is a short, demanding par-3 to a well-protected island green — accuracy matters far more than distance. Fairways throughout are palm tree-lined, and deep, sculpted bunkers give the whole layout a natural, tropical feel unusual for a course this close to the city.
Panya Indra is closed on Mondays, and one of its more distinctive features is a driving range where balls are struck directly out over a large lake. Night golf is available Tuesday through Friday — a genuine option for golfers who want to fit in an extra round after a busy day.

Before you play
Caddie required. A tip is separate unless your confirmed quotation explicitly includes it.
Tell us your preferred tee time, handicap range and any rental requirements. For a larger group, we can discuss consecutive tee times rather than assuming everyone can play in one flight.
Getting there
Your hotel location matters as much as the destination name. Share the exact pickup point so we can allow for city traffic and the time needed to warm up before your round.
