Archery holds a special place in the culture of the United Arab Emirates as it was once used as a primary instrument in combat and hunting. Today archery is mainly a recreational sport, and the visitor will find numerous training centres offering instruction for beginners in the sport. While in earlier times the bows and arrows were constructed of wood, today advanced composite materials are used for the equipment.

Thailand offers a unique golfing experience with several world class courses, and Koh Samui features some of the most interesting golf courses in the country, making it one of the most sought after golfing destinations in the region. Koh Samui’s naturally beautiful setting provides the perfect background and surroundings for a game such as this which requires wide open spaces with interesting landscapes. 

There are a number of stunning courses in this island and they perfectly complement the other attractions as well as the golden beaches and turquoise waters of Koh Samui. And each course, which provides stunning panoramas of Thailand’s island beauty, also provides the perfect challenge for the pros as well as the novice players. 

Koh Samui also caters to those keen on a golfing experience with added adventure. Options such as Mini Golf International, Crazy Golf, and even Football Golf, are available here. Mini Golf International is one of the most popular variations, and it involves a lot of fun, and far less competition. It’s the perfect family sport and it is played on a concrete track under flood light. The tracks are generally 12 to 18 metres in length and as they are flood lit a few round can be played even at night. There are about three of these courses in Koh Samui and they are recognized by the World Mini Golf Federation. No prior experience is required in this sport, and most consider it the perfect way to get the hang of the sport. Facilities such as bars and cafes are also available in these clubs. 

9 Hole Crazy Golf as well as the Football Golf are also favourite amongst families due to the relaxing and fun atmospheres they feature. Both require no prior experience and playing a hole with a football could just be tad more challenging than the ‘Crazy’ option.

For those visiting this island there are various lodging options to choose from and any Koh Samui resort or hotel can be booked online. Most prefer a Chaweng hotel accommodation due to the amazing beaches the area provides. For those wishing for the perfect Thai island experience with luxurious accommodation options the ideal options would be the Anantara Lawana Resort & Spa Koh Samui.
