Golf driving range

Evening chaps,my son is wanting to take up golf.
Are there any places to go and have a go without playing on the course itself?
Thanks.

Nong Samrong has a driving range.
How old is the lad?
I have a set of kids clubs he could borrow to se if he likes it. Clubs would suit up to around 10 or 11 yrs of age.

That's a shame because it was a decent set-up.

There is a Thai guy at the Nong Som Rong that gives lessons to kids. He seems to be pretty good

If he is to learn he might as well learn the correct method

Thanks Charlie,do you have any more info about the instructor?
I'm in England now but will check it out next week

Not much info but he is always there I think he also in charge of all the caddies. He has a golf swing that looks like he should be playing somewhere for money. Not much English but I don't it would be a problem Very nice guy

Hi guys do you know if you can rent some clubs,even just for the driving range.
my 9 year old boy was keen on it in Australia,hopefully when the weather cools down he might enjoy a whack.
cheers
