Established in 1996, The Good View has now become one of the most popular bars & restaurants in Chiang Mai. The Good View has a great band performing live every night. Located on the next to the Mae Ping River on Charoen Raj Road, the Good View is one of the main venues for both locals and visitors to have a great time in Chiang Mai.

One of my favorite places to hang out and drink Irish Coffee, The Good View serves serves delicious Thai, European, and Japanese cuisine. The Good View also has a nice selection of wine, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Situated in a riverside contemporary wooden style, The Good View is a nice atmosphere to hang out and enjoy the Chiang Mai nightlife.  Free WiFi too! See you there!

Just down the street from Fai Thong is another amazing fabric shop.  Today I found at least 10 beautiful cotton fabrics to tailor into designer shirts.  People who see shirts call them “masterpieces!” so I continue to enjoy taking the best Northern Thai cotton fabrics I can find and making shirts.  Finding a nice fabric job can be difficult if you do not speak Thai and only have a few days in Chiang Mai. So, I recommend you visit Jin Heng Huad, 23-25 Kuang Men Road, Chiang Moi, Chiang Mai, 50300. You can phone them if you get lost, in Chiang Mai phone 053235707.

Founded in 1893, the The Chiang Mai Gymkhana Club hosts a nine hole golf course a few minutes from downtown Chiang Mai. The nine holes are played twice to complete a 72 part course rated 67.8 for men and 68 for ladies. Of special interest is a stunningly beautiful 150 year old rain tree next to the clubhouse patio. There is also a simple golf range where 40 balls will set you back around 25 Baht. The green fees for 9 holes is 300 Bath plus a mandatory caddie fee of 100 Baht, double for 18 holes, a great price for one of the oldest sports clubs in Asia! See you on the tee!

This is a must time of year to visit the Tha Phae Gate in Chiang Mai to see the amazingly beautiful display of lights and candles of Loy Krathong.  The actions peaks this year on November 12, 2008 when the moon is full. Do not miss this amazing festival in Thailand!

Ever wonder where the many police in Chiang Mai live?   You will never see this place on the tourist maps, however there is a large economy housing complex in the Nong Noy (Nonghoi) area where the police in the Chiang Mai district stay!
