Organised by the Patong Hotels Association (PHA), the inaugural “PHA Charity Golf Tournament 2025” saw 111 golfers take to the course last Saturday (Nov 1) for a good cause.
Furthermore there were over 60 sponsors from the hotel industry, the private sector and various partner organisations who aligned to provide organisational assistance, financial support and a range of prizes.
Among these was a Hole-in-One prize worth up to B200,000 on the Par 3 holes 2, 12, and 17, while a B50,000 prize was up for grabs on the 8th hole. There was also a special prize for the best shot on the Par 3 hole.
The event aimed to support the purchase of essential medical equipment for patient care in the local area, as well as fostering relationships within the hotel industry, private organisations and various agencies, enabling them to participate in creative corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
An official donation ceremony took place after the on-course action where PHA President Chularat Chantakul presented a cheque for B100,000 to Dr. Sunantha Khajornrungruang, Acting Director of Patong Hospital, to support the purchase of medical equipment.
“The association is extremely proud that this inaugural charity golf tournament has been warmly received by business partners and various sectors,” commented Ms Chularat.
“This event not only builds networks and strong relationships within the tourism industry, but also reflects the power of social collaboration, which will sustainably improve the quality of life for the people in the Patong community.”
The event reflected PHA’s commitment to organising social activities and creating projects to develop the Phuket community, while promoting tourism growth alongside the sustainability of the local community, Ms Chularat added.
“The association would like to thank all partners for their support as well as all the golfers who came to play,” she said.
“The whole occasion was the perfect illustration of how collaboration, sharing and the power of giving can create a stronger and warmer environment for our local community,” Ms Chularat concluded.
