I either play golf or watch planes in my free time so this is going to be a perfect place to do my favorite things at the same time! Hopefully I get to play there very soon.

most US Air Force bases have golf courses near active runways and taxiways.. so you get used to the jet noise... I loves playing Randolph AFB... always got yelled at "LET"S GO" cause I was usually watching the planes !!

For the Canadians out there, YWG (Winnipeg) has a golf course belonging to the Base off the end of runway 36. I’ve played it a few times and whenever I’ve been there with some pilot colleagues, all play stops as an aircraft is shooting the approach, while everyone critiques the pilot’s technique and landing skills. It certainly slows down play, but nobody really minds. Several other RCAF Bases have courses close to the field.

Prime planespotting location. If I have the opportunity to go there, it won't be for the golf. Good thing there's the red light system to halt golfing activities when there are takeoffs and landing, but if anyone can access the airside due to the lack of a perimeter fence, that sounds like a security breach incident just waiting to happen...

Although I reckon if you tried to go the edge of the course to photograph your rotation / landing photo, any security that sees you won’t be so pleased…….,

I lived in Bangkok during the 2000s for 10 years and saw the opening of Subhanabhumi airport and the re-purposing of Don Meuang to a domestic hub. I’ve played golf here about 3 or 4 times. It was a thrilling experience when a 747 landed just a few feet over your head. I enjoyed the video (though not your pronunciation of the two airport names). Perhaps next time you feature a ‘foreign’ airport you could do some research about how it is pronounced. There was concern when the new airport opened that non-Thais would mangle the pron. and it should have been named something less difficult. Apparently, BIA was considered for Bangkok International Airport but rejected as Colombo, nearby Sri Lanka’s capital, has Bandaranaike International Airport also known as BIA. Back in the UK now and my local airport is Leeds Bradford - sadly no golf course between runways.

It will stay. Airlines accept those risks when they fly to that airport. The Airport Authority of Thailand may run the airport, but the golf course is owned and run by the Air Force. No airlines will publicly say a golf ball damaged their aircraft. It'd be the airline that'd get kicked out of the airport, not the golf course. Welcome to Thailand.
