Dear Golf Travelers,
I hope you are all keeping well, and you and your families are safe and sound while we all continue to do our collective most to win the battle with COVID19. The Golfasian team, like you, is eagerly awaiting international travel to make a return, and we look forward to providing everyone with a fantastic golf holiday experience.
There has been some good news in the region over the last few days, with the announcement by the Thai government that Thai golf courses will be able to open May 3rd, with proper social distancing measures in place. This is great news for the Thai golf community. One of our Golfasian team members, Pond, has been in touch with some of the courses to find out what the courses have been doing during the shutdown, and what specific steps will be taken in order to ensure proper social distancing, and the safety of golfers and course staff alike. Read the full update here!
In addition to Thailand, after quite some time on lockdown Vietnam has also started to open back up. Golf courses in Vietnam are now accepting bookings and it is an exciting time for golfers in Vietnam who will be able to get back on the course. Our Saigon-based team member Bill has been in conversation with the courses in Vietnam to check what steps they are taking. Read the full update here!
The courses aren’t the only venues opening up. Thailand and Vietnam are starting to slowly open other parts of the country such as restaurants, parks, malls, clinics and driving ranges Of course, this will be done with proper social distancing in mind. Domestic air travel in both countries is slowly opening up however international arrivals are currently on hold. As with most countries, things will open up in stages to guard against the second wave and to take care in ensuring everyone is following the rules. All told, it is some very positive news in what has been a tough time for everyone.
Over in Cambodia, all of the golf courses are open with the exception of Angkor Golf which is closed until the end of July. It is possible to visit Cambodia and there are international flights in and out of the country, however a fit-to-fly certificate would be required in order to enter the country. A select few nationalities are not able to travel into Cambodia and there is no quarantine upon arrival unless you have been in one of the countries that are not permitted to travel into Cambodia. For the most part however, Cambodia is open for travel and is a great spot if you have not played in Cambodia before.
The entire Golfasian team stands ready to assist you with any questions or golf holiday experience requirements you may have. Please feel free to contact us at any time. Stay safe and until next time, keep it in the fairway!
Happy Golfing,
AJ Easton
Director of Sales
