It acts as the underdog in the field of golf travel.

Born from the passion of a Canadian golfer living in Thailand, the inbound agency Golf and Thailand was founded in Phuket and has largely specialized in this region.

Initially open to local and regional clients, it has in recent months been working to raise its international profile.

To achieve this, its leader appointed a French agency, registered with Atout France, to manage its sales and representation in France and Europe, but also on North American markets.

The objective? Target golf travel specialists and partner agencies of the various professional golfers associations (PGA), in Europe, North America and Australia, with a priority given to France, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, England, Ireland and Scotland, in order to forge lasting partnerships as an expert in a unique destination.


A turnkey service, from planning to the travelers’ return

Its advantage? The local team counts six people, in addition to the director. A reassuring presence for agencies that will easily find a point of contact.

Golf and Thailand offers both varied packages (7, 10, 14 or 21 days) and a bespoke offering (e.g., 2/3 extra days or additional overnight stays), with a turnkey service, from planning through the travelers’ return.

The packages include accommodation, golf courses and transfers, with optional excursions and meals. Note that the inbound operator has its own fleet of vehicles with drivers (capacities of 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 people).

Golf and Thailand is a trade name owned by the Golf and Travel Link Co. Ltd. Group, registered in Phuket with local insurance and a tourist permit. By 2026, it already counts more than 150 clients.

Its teams will be present this week at the IGTM Cannes trade show, from October 20 to 22, as well as at the IAGTO conventions next spring (Asia, Spain, Dominican Republic) to meet clients and partners.
