The return of the Centara World Masters Golf Championship to Hua Hin is a boost for one of Thailand’s most popular beachside getaways, coming amid the broader easing of entry requirements and an ongoing pick-up in international tourism in 2022. Now more than at any time over the last few years, there is good cause for optimism at a local level, with Hua Hin well poised to cater for a pent-up demand for golf tourism.

 

In a country well known for its love of golf, Hua Hin has carved out a strong reputation as a golfing destination of choice. It features a number of world-class courses, including the Banyan and Black Mountain courses (which will be hosting the Centara World Masters, May 8-14), while – from the green-draped mountains in the west to the long white beaches stretching along the Gulf of Thailand – it provides a truly striking natural setting.

Hua Hin businesses have had to navigate some tough times in recent years, however 2022 has brought with it the promise of a fresh start. Weekends have seen a notable increase in tourist traffic, and the recent Songkran Thai New Year saw travelers arrive in their numbers, providing a welcome fillip for the local economy.

 

Hua Hin’s proximity to Bangkok (it’s around a three-hour drive) makes it a natural focus for domestic tourism, and – with Thailand having removed pre-departure and on-arrival testing requirements from May 1st – international tourism will be a growing focus in the 2022 second half.

I hope it's a great tournament. Chasing that little white ball around such idyllic surroundings with such great Thai caddies is such a blessing to share.
