Thailand is home to some amazing golf courses that provide plenty of challenges and fulfilling days out on the green. Apart from the courses, however, the country also has some key places you can purchase golf clubs, equipment and sporty attire.
One of the most popular places to buy golfing equipment in Bangkok, Thaniya Plaza is an entire shopping centre almost fully dedicated to all things golf! Easy to access from the Sala Daeng BTS Station, this site has four floors for you explore, each with various golf shops offering a wide range of items including brands such as Ping, Titleist and Nike. You can expect to find golf clubs, club head covers, balls, bags, grips, books, shoes, clothing and more. There is a mini driving range for you to test equipment as well as shops selling second-hand items or repairing clubs that need new shafts.

If you are staying at a golf resort there is a good chance it will have a shop with golfing equipment. For example, those planning a golfing holiday at a golf resort or hotel Chanthaburi has to offer can look to see if there are such onsite facilities. Properties like Chatrium Golf Resort Soi Dao Chanthaburi have an 18-hole course and a shop at the premises where you can not only buy golf clubs, clothes and shoes but rent equipment as well.
An international member of the United States Golf Association (USGA), Thai-Ger Line Golf is well-known for organising golfing tours in and around Pattaya. It also has a golf shop in Pattaya featuring brand name clubs including those that can be custom-built along with balls and bags. Golf equipment rental is available for women and children too. To help you get a feel of the equipment there is a putting green and driving range indoors, while club-head speed and your swing can be analysed as well.
Don't want to splurge or spend on brand new equipment? The good news is that there are some great shops in Thailand that cater to those in search of second-hand clubs and equipment. One of the most well-known is GoodsGolf in Bangkok which offers additional re-grip, re-shaft and club fitting services too. The well-established 2ndgolf Superstore, Kingkai Golf which features items imported from Japan and GolffeeShop which offers reasonably priced golf clubs are amongst the other places to consider.
