Where Korean tours concentrate
Pattaya / Chonburi: the largest Korean tour volume — 2-3 hour drive from Bangkok, dense cluster of courses, dedicated Korean restaurants and accommodations. Bangkok suburbs: Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan corridors, especially weekday tee times. Hua Hin: growing Korean presence at Black Mountain and Banyan especially. Chiang Mai: smaller but established Korean community especially November-February (cooler weather).
How a typical package works
A 3-day Korean golf tour package typically includes: hotel (3-4 star), 2-3 rounds of golf with green fee + caddy + cart, transport between hotel and courses, and one or two meals. Total cost ₩900,000-1,500,000 per person ($700-1,150 USD). Packages are usually arranged through Korean tour operators (Tour2 Korea, Hyundai Golf, etc.) who have direct contracts with courses.
Korean-speaking caddies
Most courses regularly hosting Korean tours have at least some Korean-speaking caddies — especially in Pattaya and Hua Hin. Bangkok premium clubs have fewer Korean caddies. Request a Korean caddy when booking — not all are available all days. The Korean caddy network at a course is often word-of-mouth among Thai caddies, so demand creates supply over time. Tip Korean caddies more generously (฿600-1,000) — this is the cultural norm and they expect it.
For independent Korean golfers
Skip the package — book direct or through Golfsavers for 20-30% savings. Bangkok hotels with English-speaking concierge can book most courses. Stay in Pattaya for 3-day golf concentration, Bangkok for premium course access, Hua Hin for resort feel. Korean restaurants are easily found in all three regions — Sukhumvit Plaza in Bangkok, Soi Buakhao in Pattaya, Khao Takiap area in Hua Hin.
