  • Facts and Information
    FACTS AND INFORMATION Trisara has become a landmark since it opened in November 2004. Phuket Island’s most exclusive, intimate resort is located over a private bay just 15 minutes from Phuket International Airport on the quiet, relatively undeveloped northwestern coastline. The short drive from Phuket Airport is a beautiful introduction to the “real” Phuket, winding through small villages, jungle and beaches before arriving at the resorts discreet entrance, which is hidden by towering ancient hardwoods. Trisara’s owners are also the manager’s and we were the driving force behind all design decisions. We are passionate about service, food and attention to detail, something too often overlooked lost in today’s world. The gently sloping contours of the site have been developed to allow all villas to embrace wide ocean views, sunsets and the cooling sea breezes that flow throughout the property. The resort’s 48 pool suites and villas, guest facilities and two to six bedroom residential villas sit within 40 acres of gardens that rise gently from the 2,000 meters of absolute ocean frontage, with all accommodation offering a sense of total privacy from lush tropical gardens. The property is well secured as there is only one protected and guarded road entrance. ACCOMMODATION Overlooking Trisara’s bay and beach are 48 (one and two bedroom) hotel pool rooms, pool suites and pool villas, plus 20 magnificent privately owned 2 – 6 bedroom Residences, which are available for rental with private staff and kitchens. HOTEL POOL VILLAS and POOL ROOMS 48 individual pool villas, pool suites and pool rooms, all with private infinity pools that embrace views of the Andaman Sea.

    Thailand Golf Travel Nation Spring 2008 Welcome to the spring edition of the Thailand Golf Travel Nation. This newsletter contains original and news breaking stories on the state of golf in Thailand as well as provides useful golf course information, unique golf playing tips for Thailand’s tropical environment, announcements of special golf travel promotions, and our newest subscription offer. The spring golf season is starting in most places and I hope you have had a chance to dust off your clubs and get in some practice and/or initial rounds. Here in Thailand, playing conditions are still excellent an d t h e weather dry, which makes for many days of fine golf weather. However the summer is fast approaching and this will mean the higher temperatures so it might make sense to try to get in some golf here before things heat up too much! There have been some notable Thailand golf news events recently including the opening of a fantastic new golf Pattaya golf course. The Siam Country Club, Plantation Course is by far the most challenging layout in Pattaya, surpassing even Laem Chabang in this category. I played there a few weeks ago and all I can say of this fantastic new golf course is leave your handicap and egos at home. You better be prepared for the hardest test of golf in Pattaya yet! Fast, elevated and well guarded greens are found on most every hole and the putting surfaces seem like they have been molded from potato chips, they are that undulating! In other news, I am very sorry to report that the famous Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket is CLOSED! How can this possibly happen at the #1 golf course in all Thailand? Well apparently legal issues between the ownership and the management company forced the closure.

HOME | GOLF HOLIDAY| GOLF COURSES | GOLF SERVICES | ABOUT US | CONTACT US June 2019 Edition Dear Golf Travelers, Welcome to June 2019 issue of the Asian Golf Nation, the source for news breaking information about golf in SE Asia. Also, unique golf playing tips for Indochina’s tropical environment, insider’s destination review, announcements of golf travel promotions, and our latest subscription offer are all integral parts of today’s newsletter. June is a time of transition whereby the hot, dry days of spring give way to frequent afternoon summer showers. The weather changing from spring to summer has two effects. First, and most important, daytime high temperatures drop from close to 40C to a more comfortable 32C. Cooler weather means more pleasant golf. Secondly, while afternoon rains are heavy and pass in 30 minutes, the showers increase the chance of a wet round if teeing off later in the day. Its good to know this, and given a choice, morning golf is a better option at this time of the year. I have some surprising news. In spite of the Thai Baht is the strongest currency in Asia this year, Golf in Thailand is getting less expensive! Can you believe Chiang Mai green fees are US$35? We had over 100 golfers there last week, including one who made his first hole-in-one. Moreover, on selected days of the week, Bangkok and Pattaya golf courses have special rates too. These savings are in effect until the end of October. Drop me an email if you are interested, and I will send you the details of the cost rollbacks.
