Good info from all of the recent posters. Thanks.

Here's an update: Gecko Garden no longer has the crumbly English cheddar I was buying. They still offer a decent cheddar but it's not as good as the one I reported on here earlier. 
 
We almost never shop at Makro but I will check out the Tops Market at Panthip later today.

There was a shop, The Cheese Shop, on Hassadhisawee Road just north of the moat that was selling good homemade cheese last spring. The Thai owner was a nice fellow and told me he has been a cheesemaker for a long time. His cheese was on the expensive side but the samples I bought were quite tasty. I don't know if he is still in business but it might be worth taking a look

I like a strong cheese. Mature Cheddar or stronger. I used to buy mine from Greens Food and Drink opposite Kad Farang, but they have been out of stock for months and are now closing.

 Tops used to have "Seriously Strong" in small amounts at a high price but no longer stock it. Makro, Rimping and the other supermarkets have Dutch or Italian cheeses which are too mild for my taste or that processed excuse for a cheese from USA or Australia.

Has anybody in Chiang mai area seen a decent cheese for sale recently?

Go talk to Rudy at Gekko Garden.

Topic is "cheese in Chiang Mai".

If your post isn't about that, it'll probably be removed.
