After playing Colin Montgomery’s layout, or touring the cities picture book collection of pagodas, temples, palaces and tombs, we sail to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). Golfers will play one of Vietnam’s first two courses, Lee Trevino’s East Course at the Vietnam Golf & Country Club.

Bangkok is next after a day at sea. Golfers will play the Thai Country Club, opened in 1996 and site of Tiger Wood’s win in the 1997 Asian Honda Classic.

We will arrive in Ko Samui. Golfers will enjoy the challenge of Santiburi Samui Golf Club.

Our final port of call is Singapore with a full day dedicated to this complex city’s juxtaposition of very old and very new. We will happily arrange night golf for those who cannot resist!
