Dinner at Galare,Chiangmai

We went to this place on a hilly part of Chiangmai for dinner overlooking a large lake and the place is full flowers with a open concept for dining. I could see the word “Galare” and Thai words on the cover of the red menu. Don’t know the name of this place. Maybe someone can help me.
The fried fish is lovely not oily. Yum yum....The fried pork cubes. Stir fried Asparagus. Tomyam of clear soup I love it. Green curry. Traditional Chaingmai dish known as Kontoke with pork sausage, fried fish skin, steamed sweet potaoes, salad, and egg plant. BBQ pork ribs.And not forgetting the Chang Beer.

2nd Day Foods in Chiangmai

Before we proceeded for our second round of golf we had to refuel our tummies as we needed the fuel for walking another 18 holes. We went to the food court of Central Airport Plaza for some Thai local foods. Stewed pork and egg with rice “Kao Kha Moo” with additional pork trotter,the lady preparing our Kao Kha Moo, spicy papaya salad called “Som Thum”, curry mee or “Kao Soi”. Not in picture were mango with glutinous rice and the wonderful passion fruit shake.

Our urge for food began after the tired game @ Royal Chiangmai Golf Resort and looking forward for free foods at the club house.
We were told by a pleasant lady that Mr. Varin (the owner of the golf course) celebrates his birthday every October 31 and if you want to enjoy golf at Royal Chiangmai and have free food and drinks come exactly on this date of the year. The nice lady also told us that the food stalls at the function were the best and famous operators found in Chiangmai. BBQ pork.The chicken rice corner. The fish ball noodle corner. There were also Thai satay, Thai PohPiah and the PohPiah stand. Coconut Ice cream. The flower arrangement of “Happy” with candles was awaiting to be officiated by Mr. Varin. We left without witnessing the event as it was getting late.

First Day Foods at Chiangmai

Thai Chicken Rice "cow mun guy" at this Old Chiangmai Square at this corner shop somwhere near this street.Then we proceed to try the Thai favourite fish ball noodle at the next door. After the golf we went over to Alan a Malaysian friend's massage shop and had simple Thai foods with him at a corner shop just a few doors away from his. Thai fried Kuey Teow, a bowl of pork soup and wanton. A plate of Lakna which I forget to snap it. Of course the best was the bottle of Gold Label Johnny Walker 18 years old...

Chiangmai Highlands Golf & Spa

This is the first golf course we played out of the 3 courses and I would rate this course as the best among the 3. It’s surrounded by mountains and located away from Chiangmai of a driving time of approximately 30 minutes. A view at the rear of the Club House.Upon starting at the first tee box we were greeted with a sudden Chiangmai shower and a bit scary for a start of a golfing trip. Unfortunately it was a short one which lasted only 10 minutes. Anyway this golf course is beautiful, a landscape of carefully manicured plants, trees, bunkers and fairways. There are a lot of lateral waters making your game interesting. I had a good game and very happy with my final score of 91 from 47 and 44 on the respective nines. Walking in this beautiful golf course is a tiring affair with the hilly terrain but it’s worth the walk. Even the tee boxes are in perfect condition just like a putting green. This is a typical distance marker of Highlands. Difficulty at a beautiful sand bunker. A unique house under construction next to the golf course of a glazed housed covered with weaving bamboos. Would you want your house to be like this one??
