Football is a prominent sport in Thailand, with the Thai League 1 being the top-tier professional football league in the country. Muay Thai, a native martial art, is also a significant part of the Thai sports scene, with major events held at stadiums like Lumpinee and Rajadamnern.
In motorsports, Thailand has been a location for events such as the Thailand MotoGP. Additionally, golf tournaments like the Thailand Open and the Honda LPGA Thailand attract international players. Basketball also has a growing presence, with the Basketball Thailand Super League gaining popularity.
Badminton is another sport with a strong following, with events like the Thailand Masters part of the BWF World Tour. Volleyball and sepak takraw, a sport native to Southeast Asia, also have professional league competitions and international participation in multi-sport events like the Asian Games and Southeast Asian Games.
I watched the tournament over all four days. New viewing stands had been installed, making it easier to see than last year. The venue staff were all kind and polite. There was ample parking space, which was convenient. And best of all, I was able to see the LPGA players' amazing shots right in front of me. It was a fantastic tournament.










It was terrific seeing my two favorites players Lydia Ko and Geeno Thitikul. Thank you very much for the experience. For fans: bring umbrella and stay hydrated.
This was more 4th year attending the tournament. I travel from the US each year for the Honda LPGA tournament. Each year the experience has been more enjoyable and well worth the travel time (30+ hours each way). The staff are fantastic and the proximity to the players is amazing.

The event is very well organised, but seating around the 18th hole could be covered and a stand beside the TV screen that presently is angled directly for the Honda Elite invitation only people.
That stand should be one level you can buy a ticket for and the other for Honda.
More little drink vendors around the course.
Maybe some carts could be for hire to take you to the far end of the course....extremely hot and this would greatly help.
More bus services like the one from Terminal twenty one at different locations. Taxis and GRAB or Bolt are difficult to get you take you to the course and back again and the price you book at always goes up.
The stands at the par 3 holes should be covered.
The daily price at the 9th hole pavilion is ridiculously priced for what you get and the club house eatery is silly because you think you're getting a view of the course and then you arrive and it's super crowded and no view and a few tvs...stupid.
The Thai staff everywhere on course and vendors were terrific.
I've been coming for the last 4 years from Australia and with respect to the layout, zero things have changed. There seems to be a lack of imagination for improving the non Honda Elite invitees golf course experience.
Honda Elite invitees happy in Honda tent at the 18th green then Honda management happy....this kind of thinking is wrong. If Jeeno and a few other Thai players and the Japanese players start dropping ( God forbid) in the global ranking the tournament will lose its allure and those General entry people will quickly vanish.
What about stands behind the 1st, 7th, 10th or the 17th because where you are forced to stand 90% of the time cannot see the hole. It would add so much energy.
By the way...the HSBC has some catching up to match the Honda.
See you in Singapore.
Initial thoughts 🤔
A fantastic 4 days and a record breaking crowd over the 4 days. It gets a bit manic on the last 2 days but thats a testament to the support of all the Fans travelling from all over the world. I come from Ireland every year. Continued success to this great course
