Bangkok Songkran Golf Guide: 8 Courses for a Dawn Round Before the Festival

Songkran, April 13-15, turns much of Bangkok into a water-fight zone, and April is also the hottest month, with daytime highs of 35 to 40 degrees. The easiest order is to finish golf before the sun climbs and join the water festival in the afternoon. This guide arranges 8 Bangkok courses with known restaurant opening times, night or twilight play and distances from the airport and city around a dawn tee-off and the festival schedule.

8 Bangkok Golf Courses for Songkran

Compare Bangkok courses for your Songkran schedule by restaurant opening time, night play and distance from the airport and city rather than a fixed ranking.

BANGKOK GOLF GUIDE

For Bangkok Songkran golf, set the dawn tee-off and festival order first

For Songkran golf in Bangkok, order matters. With April highs of 35 to 40 degrees, the smoothest plan is to start around 06:00, finish within the morning and join the Silom, Siam Square or Khao San water zones in the afternoon. Silverlake Links and Bangpoo open their restaurants at 05:30, allowing the earliest starts.

You can also flip the order. Legacy, The Pine and Rachakram run night golf, so you can enjoy the festival by day and play in the evening. In that case, rehydrate well through the day and check the lighting hours for your date.

Travel time decides when you can reach the festival. Navatanee is 30 to 40 minutes from the city and the Royal Golf club in Lad Krabang is 10 to 15 minutes from the airport, so getting into town after the round is easy. Rachakram is 1 hour 10 minutes away, so travel the day before or clear a whole day.

Cart and weekday rules bear directly on stamina. Navatanee reserves weekend mornings for members, and at the Vintage Club nine extra holes cost the same green fee as 18, so you can decide by the heat whether to stop at 18. At Lad Krabang, a tee time after 14:00 does not guarantee a full 18.

Before booking, check the earliest tee-off time, the night-lighting dates, how many players trigger a compulsory cart, weekend limits and cancellation terms. Prices and open tee times can change during Songkran, so rely on the current product page.

COURSE PLANNING

How to choose a Bangkok golf course for Songkran

  • Dawn tee-off and clubhouse opening hours

    Early rounds start around 06:00, and a restaurant that opens at 05:30 makes breakfast and rehydration easier before the round. Opening and range hours differ by course and are noted on each card.

  • When you join the festival, and the drive

    A common plan is to join the Silom, Siam Square or Khao San water zones in the afternoon. Weigh the drive from the course to the city and festival-week traffic when you set the finish time.

  • Reversing the order with night or twilight play

    You can also enjoy the festival by day and play in the evening. Courses with night golf or twilight play make that order possible, but check the lighting hours for your date.

  • Cart, caddie and weekend rules

    In the heat, whether carts are compulsory and the group-size conditions affect how tiring the round is. Some courses reserve weekend mornings for members or set one- and two-player rules, so match the weekday of your Songkran dates first.

ITINERARY IDEAS

Bangkok Songkran golf by area

  • Near the airport — straight on to the city

    The Lad Krabang Royal Golf club is 10-15 minutes from the airport, Silverlake Links 25 and Bangpoo 35, cutting the transfer into town after the round.

  • Near the city — morning round, afternoon join

    Navatanee (30-40 minutes) and the Vintage Club (about 50) suit a morning tee-off and an afternoon at the Silom or Siam water zones.

  • Night golf — festival by day, round in the evening

    Legacy, The Pine, Rachakram and Silverlake Links run night rounds, so you can flip the usual order.

  • Ayutthaya side — a day cleared for golf

    Rachakram is 1 hour 10 minutes away, so travel the day before or give the whole day to the round.
