Participants to make own arrangements for transfers from their homes to airport for departure to Bangkok.

Pick up from BKK will be by Golf Asia representatives. Meeting point will be in arrivals hall after picking up luggage. A Golf Asia representative will be there with sign. As Adelaide and Melbourne participants (6 pax) are arriving virtually within an hour of each other we will stick with original transfer arrangements provided by Golf Asia (1 van).

Return transfers will be via Royal Gems Golf Course in Bangkok (2 vans) and then onto the Duchess hotel for all participants with exception of Len Dean who will go straight from playing Royal Gems to the airport on the 11/3 for the trip home. Transfers from Duchess hotel to airport will be taxi organised by ourselves with the hotel.

Guys. It has been more difficult than usual this time around particularly working with a new agent and getting suitable tee times and general communication. However, all is done now as much as can be done. Apologies for the late start on one day but all times should give us time to get back to hotel and enjoy the usual R&R and convivialities. I am looking forward to the trip. Could Messrs Miller and Excell note that the advance party will be seeking out dining options to pass on to you for confirmation of agenda. All should note that the advance party will also be seeking happy hour venues and Rugby viewing venues for your enjoyment. Thank god there is an advance party!!!!

Safe travels to all and look forward to catching up with you on Saturday. I expect to be able to send you with full details on tour intinerary and including vouchers if required (provided by agent) later in the week.

PS – Jim Excell – Len has probably briefed you on clothing etc but if you have any questions give me a ring on 0408389721

PS (1) – Ray Miller – Jim, Simon, Neil and I will wait for you in hotel bar before proceeding to dinner on Saturday night.
