Still waiting for final confirmation from TAT but looks like May,June & possibly July at THB 800 for participating courses although last year a few of the "top courses" did not participate and likely to happen again from what I was told.

[murrinman]

thanks for that

I'll be there on June 22nd so hoping that july will be included this year. Hopefully Royal Chiang Mai and Highlands will be back this year.

Have they finally finished the work in Mae Jo? The last two summers, they were doing work and the lay out doesn't flow well and the last par 3 is a mickey mouse hole. Too bad, it could be a decent course...

Otherwise, I'll spent most of my time on the wicked greens at Alpine...

It would be nice if all of the courses just set a price that generated the most traffic..

[Thailand]

Some genius has decided that raising the price by 25 per cent this year would be a smart thing to do.

Seems like those that do participate will be charging THB1000 plus caddy fees up to THB350.

At least 2 good courses already charging less than that - Amazing Thailand is correct!

Just got this in an email. No mention of caddie fees over and above the 1000B.

Pretty much sure caddy fees are additional. As I mentioned, makes no sense,Inthanon & Gold Canyon are already less than THB1000 so they are going to up their prices?

Highland are at THB1400 + caddy fee for the same period,crazy!

[LarryBird]

The part that's unfortunate is they really don't care about your business. Having high posted prices allow them to do other things....
