Can never tire of this course. The first time I played here was on my first ever golf holiday back in 2009. I was just a beginner then ( not that my golf has got any better) but was simply delighted that golf courses could be so spectacular. And though it wasn't part of the plan, my mate and I came back to spend a night at the accommodation on site and then played 3 rounds in a single day.

Since then I have come back to Pattaya on 5 or 6 occasions and have always played at Laem Chabang and tried to get hold of the same caddy from 2009. I concur with the assesment that the mountain and the lake are the better nines on the course. While all the regular Nicklaus elements are present in the design - the waste bunkers and other bunkering, the terrain does offer a point of difference. The course condition in my last trip was not the same as it was in my first, but I have no complaints. The joy of Laem Chabang is in its layout. The forest, the changes in elevation, the ravines, sometimes the long intimidating carries over the water, rocky outcrops make for a superb golf experience.
