Bangkok, 4 February, 2016 – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has appointed Ms. Vani Kapoor as Thailand golf ambassador in India, as part of the ongoing ‘golf celebrity  marketing’ efforts to promote Thailand as the paradise for golfers from around the world.

Dr. Yuthasak Supasorn, Governor of TAT said, “Ms. Vani Kapoor is currently India’s number 1 lady golfer, making her the perfect golf ambassador in India for Thailand, which is increasingly recognised as a golfing paradise and a favourite destination for women travellers. Ms. Vani will be an iconic for both male and female golfers in India to Thailand.”

Thailand is renowned as Asia’s most popular golfing destination with a remarkable value for golfers, who can come to enjoy the luxury of golf at world class courses at magnificent locations, receive five star services from friendly caddies, and stay in comfortable accommodation at affordable prices. The hospitality of the caddies coupled with their skills and familiarity with the courses provide golfers with services that exceed expectations.

Having recently played golf in Thailand, Ms. Vani said, “It is my great honour to be Thailand Golf Ambassador, I would like to thanks the Tourism Authority of Thailand for giving me this great opportunity.”

She added, “Thailand is a great destination for golfers as it offers a wide range of courses to choose from at an value added price. It provides diversity in the golf courses from the hills in the north to beautiful courses by the beach in the south. With many courses being developed by leading professionals such as Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman, Thailand is the ideal place for a great game of golf. The amazing Thai food, getting pampered in the spas and great shopping options, is just a cherry on the cake when I visit Thailand.”
