The Staroba Golf Club finally managed to organise an overseas golf tour for its members after a break of about two years because most of the active members have been involved in the Koba Invitation Games in Indonesia since the beginning of last year.
An original group of 14 golfers was reduced to 12 when pakTgAzman had to cancel due to a family ill-health and similarly a guest of pakAminJidon also withdrew at the last minute when his father-in-law fell ill.
The group left on the early morning AirAsia flight and touched down at the ChiangMai Airport at around 9 am. As our booked time for golf was only at past 12 noon - the local handling agent took all of us to a Thai Silk Factory and Showroom where many of us started our holiday shopping straight away. The silk garments were lovely and the 'linen' shirts' were cheaper than the ones at British India outlets in KL.

the visit to the exhibition section was informative
After the introductory round of 'shopping' we were all taken to a Yunnan-Thai-Muslim Restaurant quite nearby the silk showroom. It was quite a big spread for an early lunch. There was tom yam, deep fried carp, omelette, vegetables, tofu, chicken curry and a platter of fresh fruits.
After the lunch, the ladies were taken in a seperate van for a tour itinerary whereas the golfers headed for the Highland Golf Course.
