The Thailand Travel & Dive Expo 2009, incorporating the Thailand Golf Expo 2009 will hopefully give you most, if not all, the answers you’re looking for!

Three enormous halls are packed cheek-by-jowl with a variety of exhibitors covering all aspects of these two popular pastimes, with such topics as golfing lessons, diving courses, equipment sales and presentations, trips, holidays, travelling, accommodation and photography.

There’s also a timetable of informative seminars, stage events and an exhibition of the show’s photo contest to enjoy.

Pocket Guide has a bright and shiny stand located at booths P54 & P63 in support of both our DIVE and GOLF Thailand publications. So, if you have any questions about either of these two sporting pastimes, hunt us down and ask away! If you haven’t managed to grab a copy of these two valuable travelling companions you can download a free copy of DIVE Thailand 2009 and GOLF Thailand 2009 by following the relevant link.

There will also be a number of special pastime-oriented package deals available, co-ordinated by Nok Air – which are sure to put a smile on your face!

Last but not least, we’re running two free competitions – but to find out more you need to come and visit us at the show!

So stop by, get clued-up, save some money and – who knows – you could win an exciting diving trip to Phuket or a fabulous golfing experience in Chiang Mai, all flights included!

Doors for the Expos are open 11am – 9pm daily. See you there!

The recent televised coverage of the Black Mountain Golf Club Asian Masters Tournament created a more than welcome increase in interest from those wishing to rent, purchase or even retire to a home in the lovely beach town of Hua Hin.

It has to be said that the course looked in fantastic shape – it’s hard to believe that the opening was less than two years ago. This course has astounded onlookers with its quality and speed of construction. In only 18 months it was conceived, planned and constructed and has been receiving rave reviews ever since!

Although during the last six months the number of local house rentals and sales has seen a decrease, the area continues to bring a steadily increasing number of holiday makers, golf enthusiasts and tourers every year. Winkworth Hua Hin & Hua Hin Property Care have reported that they’ve been kept busy with enquiries for high quality properties both in and around the town.

The all-day fun-filled event is organised by a number of local businesses, including Anantara Resort & Hot Property, with tickets going for just 3,000 Baht.

The day’s golf tees off at Springfield village Golf and Spa and the doors open for the Comedy Punchline Club at the Hot Property office in Damnernkasem road at 6pm.

The all-in tickets includes golf, caddie and cart at Springfield’s, all you can eat and drink during the evening’s prize giving ceremony (yes, there are prizes to be won too!) and the comedy show itself which hits centre stage at 9pm, or thereabouts!

The evening’s laughter is provided by comedians Geoff Boyz from the UK, Scotland’s Greg Burns and Lloyd Langford from Wales.

For those that just want to take in the evening’s entertainment, tickets are 1,500 Baht and include an open bar between 8 and 9pm. For bookings and more information contact Hot Property.
