Southeast Asia 2015
Hue, Vietnam
Southeast Asia conjures images of
forbidden temples, vast rice fields, bustling markets
and colorful customs and culture. Lesser known are
the tropical climate, incomparable scenery, engaging
people and the rapid growth of golf in the region.
Kalos Golf has designed the ultimate golf and travel
adventure to this land of ancient cultures, Eastern
artistry and emerging golf. Travel aboard chartered
air offers personalized service, while challenging golf
and fascinating tours that explore the region’s natural
treasures and exotic beauty await at each stop. As we
tour the scenic landscape, we can expect to see ancient
civilizations, hidden caves and grottoes and beaches
lined by tropical palms.
Names like Faldo, Norman and Montgomerie
have descended upon Vietnam, Cambodia and
Thailand to leave their marks on one of the world’s
fastest-growing golf destinations. The result is an
outstanding collection of courses featuring a variety
of settings and landscapes. From the natural elements
of Vietnam’s dunes courses to the impeccable private
country clubs of Bangkok, our Southeast Asia Golf
Tour offers a truly memorable golf adventure. VIETNAM

Bangkok, Thailand BANGKOK PRE-TOUR: January 12–15 ....... January 12: Bangkok, Thailand Plan to arrive in the vibrant city of Bangkok on January 12. Expedited through customs and immigration, you will be transferred to the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel, centrally located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. This evening, we gather for a welcome reception. ....... January 13: Bangkok Golf: Thai Country Club Our first round of golf is at the exclusive Thai Country Club, eight-time winner of the best course in Thailand and host to many Asian Tour events. All hazards, from scalloped white bunkers to attractive lakes, are evident from the tee box. The variety of challenges presented make this a great first round for our journey. Tour: Grand Palace & Canal Boat Ride Touring passengers depart via canal boat for a tour of the Grand Palace, Thailand’s most sacred site and home to the Emerald Buddha Temple. We continue on our canal tour and visit the Royal Barge Museum, home to the intricate and beautiful barges used in state ceremonies. ....... January 14: Bangkok Golf: Amata Spring Golf Club Amata Spring Golf Club provides one of the best private club experiences in Thailand. The serenity of Amata Spring is impressive, but golfers soon realize that the holes become progressively more challenging, highlighted by a tough island green on 17. Tour: Jim Thompson House The Jim Thompson House is the home of the “Legendary American of Thailand” known for saving Thailand’s silk industry from extinction. In 1967, Jim Thompson traveled to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, where he set out for a walk in the surrounding jungle but never returned. Thus began the Jim Thompson legend. Since his disappearance in 1967, little has changed in the home; even today, the charming Thai style house continues to be a key stop for visitors to Bangkok. ....... January 15: Bangkok • Siem Reap, Cambodia This morning is at your leisure to explore Bangkok. In the afternoon, we fly to Siem Reap, Cambodia, to join the start of our main itinerary. Tour price is $2,765 per person, double occupancy, in a Deluxe Room ($3,435 per person for Executive Suite). The price includes three nights at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, breakfasts, welcome dinner, two rounds of golf or two tours, and transfer to and from the Bangkok Airport. Flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia is not included, but will be arranged by Kalos Golf. Thai Country Club www.KalosGolf.com 919.942.3464 Memorable Golf Adventures
Angkor Golf Resort
January 15: Siem Reap, Cambodia
Plan to arrive in Siem Reap, Cambodia on January 15.
Upon arrival at Siem Reap Airport you are transferred to
the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in the heart of the old
French Quarter, where we will stay for three nights. Relax
and explore the area until our welcome dinner this evening.
If you plan to arrive early in Siem Reap, we are happy
to make arrangements for additional nights at the Raffles
Grand Hotel and organize private tours of the area.
.......
January 16: Siem Reap
Golf: Angkor Golf Resort
Angkor Golf Resort is the finest golf course in Cambodia,
a magnificent layout designed by Nick Faldo. Faldo’s
design offers generous fairways with bold bunkering, and
the green’s subtle undulations require thoughtful approach
shots. Golfers tour the temples at Angkor Wat after golf.
Tour: Angkor Wat
Today we tour the awe-inspiring Angkor complex, ancient
capital of Cambodia and one of the must-see sights in
Southeast Asia. Built in the early 12th century in the
classical Khmer architectural style, the Angkor Wat temple
is the largest in the world, with a volume of stone equal to
that of the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
.......
January 17: Siem Reap
Golf: Siem Reap Booyoung Country Club
Surrounded by rice paddies, just 15 minutes outside
of Siem Reap, the Booyoung Country Club offers an
unhurried round of golf on a course that is always in great
condition. Meandering creeks feed lakes that come into
play on many holes. Fairways are wide but the greens
are well protected with greenside bunkers and delicately
shaped water hazards.
Tour: Banteay Srei
Considered by some to be the most beautiful temple due
to its elaborate pink sandstone carvings, Banteay Srei is an
interesting contrast in style from the structures of the main
Angkor complex. Our tour concludes with a traditional
Cambodian lunch in a local home.

January 19: Danang Golf: Montgomerie Links With the Marble Mountains as a backdrop, Montgomerie Links offers an exciting mixture of heathland and modern links-style holes that cater to players of all abilities. Golfers have a guided tour of Hoi An after their round. Tour: Hoi An and Red Bridge Cooking School In Hoi An, merchants from around the world have met for centuries and a multi-cultural influence is apparent throughout this ancient community. Chefs from Red Bridge Restaurant guide our group through the market, helping to select fresh ingredients, which we will use in a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class. Our tour includes a delicious lunch at this beautiful waterfront location. ....... January 20: Danang Golf: Danang Golf Club The championship Dunes course at Danang Golf Resort, designed by Greg Norman, annually vies with Montgomerie Links to be named #1 in Vietnam. The natural terrain and sand dunes are reminiscent of many Scottish courses, and the signature 16th hole is nestled into the dunes overlooking China Beach.

We visit a local elementary school and get an interactive glimpse of everyday life in Vietnam. ....... January 21: Danang Golf: Laguna Lang Designed by Nick Faldo and opened in 2013, Laguna Lang flows beautifully through its natural surroundings, from rugged jungle to pristine beaches with rice paddies in between. The views are breathtaking at every turn, and risk/reward strategic choices are many. Tour: Hue Today, we visit Hue, the ancient imperial capital of Vietnam. Dotted with hundreds of temples, pagodas, palaces and stone sculptures, Hue’s captivating history unfolds as we visit the Royal Citadel, with its towering ramparts, and the Forbidden Purple City. www.KalosGolf.com 919.942.3464 Memorable Golf Adventures
Van Tri Golf Club ....... January 22: Danang • Hanoi, Vietnam We fly by private aircraft to Hanoi, Vietnam, and are transferred to the wonderful colonial French Sofitel Legend Metropole Hotel, where we stay for the remainder of our journey. After check-in, we venture out to a private water puppet show, a cultural tradition since the 11th century, and enjoy a traditional Vietnamese dinner. ....... January 23: Hanoi Golf: Van Tri Golf Club Our final round of golf is at the most exclusive private golf club in Vietnam. Van Tri was laid out with visually appealing holes that offer surprises at every turn. Stone, vibrant colors, trees and grasses shape a delightfully challenging course. Van Tri Golf Club provides a fitting and classic finish to our golf line up. Tour: Hanoi Old Quarter Touring passengers are treated to a fascinating trip through 36 Streets District, the city’s main shopping area. Goods were once traded here under the street name of a guild, and the themes remain the same, such as Sugar Street and Paper Street. We enjoy a local lunch in the nearby Hoan Kiem district. ....... January 24: Hanoi Today, we explore Hanoi, a city of contrasts, from its colonial French architecture to Vietnamese pagodas, tranquil green parks to bustling streets. Our tour takes us to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the rustic home where he lived his final years. We visit the unique One Pillar Pagoda, dating from 1049 and the Temple of Literature, dedicated to the cult of Confucious. We also stop at the Hoa Lo Prison, known by its American inmates as the “Hanoi Hilton.” .......

Getting There Differently
The dense, mountainous jungles of
Southeast Asia roll into lush coasts of white
sand and tranquil turquoise seas, making
for a beautiful landscape to discover.
While golf and tourism are booming, the
highway system has yet to catch up and
as a result, traversing the region by land
presents challenges.
Kalos Golf has orchestrated a special
itinerary that allows us to comfortably
explore the cultural highlights of Southeast
Asia by using privately chartered flights.
These chartered aircraft allow us to offer
direct and expedited service through
customs, immigration and baggage claim,
eliminating the hassle of traditional air
travel so we can maximize our time in
each location. Our local staff collects your
luggage and ensures that it is in your room
upon arrival.
Private flights on our journey are in
the comfort of an ATR 72 that typically
accommodates 74 passengers. Our tour is
limited to 50 passengers, ensuring that our
short, one-hour and fifteen-minute flights
are made with ease.
