Nearly all Dhātu Cetiyas give their own stories based on the Buddha’s prophecy. In Sangha and state in Burma, Mendelson gave detail from a Burmese text that the Buddha visited Lower Burma by air with many hundreds of monks (Mendelson, 1975: 31). A relationship with Sri Lanka is also reflected in a number of bronze sculptures from maritime Southeast Asia by the 8th century A.D. (Nandana and Leidy, 1994: 48) as well as in the legend of Buddha images such as the Legend of the Emerald Buddha. Hazra (1982: 1) affirmed that there are evidences from many sources, especially the Culavamsa, that from the 11th century A.D., of all the Southeast Asian countries, Sri Lanka’s relations with Burma were the closest.

Population and State in Lan Na Prior to the Mid-Sixteenth Century*
POPULATION AND STATE IN LAN NA PRIOR TO THE MID-SIXTEENTH CENTURY* Volker Grabowsky Abstract This paper analyses the administrative and social systems of Lan Na in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries with special focus on demographic factors. Tight control of manpower was crucial to this sparsely populated, mountainous region. It is argued that the nai sip system of organising the workforce was probably introduced under Chinese or Mongolian influence prior to the founding of Lan Na. The territorial administration of Lan Na was characterised by the panna, administrative units below the müang level. Lacking a centralised administration, centrifugal tendencies intensified during the first half of the fifteenth century that eventually precipitated the disintegration of the kingdom in 1558. Among several factors, shortage of manpower was decisive for the mani- fold problems that Lan Na encountered during her internal crisis. 1. Introduction The Kingdom of Lan Na emerged after the conquest of Hariphunchai by King Mangrai (1292) and the founding of the new capital at Chiang Mai (1296). Lan Na survived and remained an independent polity more than two and a half centuries until the Burmese conquest of Chiang Mai (1558). In spite of consider- able achievements gained through research into the regional history in Northern * The author wishes to thank his colleague Dr Foon Ming Liew for having translated the key Chinese sources for him and for her many thoughtful comments on this paper.

Final Report to the SEG GWB Program
The advancement of humanitarian geophysics in Southeast Asia: a student-based approach A 2011 final report to the SEG Geoscientists Without Borders program Lee M. Liberty – Associate Research Professor Center for Geophysical Investigation of the Shallow Subsurface (CGISS)/Department of Geosciences Boise State University [email protected] and the team of instructors http://cgiss.boisestate.edu/gwb Executive Summary This report summarizes the operational activities of the 2011 geophysics field camp that Boise State University (BSU), in conjunction with Chiang Mai University (CMU), conducted through a Geoscientists Without Borders (GWB) SEG Foundation grant. Faculty, technicians, and students from seventeen participating institutions from eleven countries acquired, processed and interpreted geophysical data at three separate sites in Chiang Mai, Thailand. These field sites were selected to train participants in the use of a variety of geophysical methods to address groundwater, archaeology, and earthquake hazards problems. Many of the planning and initiation of this field camp mimicked the 2010 field program. The second annual Geoscientists Without Borders funded Southeast Asia geophysics field camp took place from 2-15 January, 2011 in Chiang Mai, Thailand with 38 student participants and 19 instructor/technicians at two field sites. Geophysical methods include electromagnetic, resistivity, seismic reflection, seismic refraction, seismic surface wave, gravity, magnetic and ground penetrating radar. This report is a summary of a week-long data acquisition session followed by a week-long data analysis session where seismic, ground penetrating radar, electrical, electromagnetic, gravity, and magnetic data were acquired, processed, and interpreted at the Mae Jo and Wiang Kum Kam sites near Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Wiang Tha Kan, San Pa Tong District, Chiang Mai
International (Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts) Veridian E-Journal, Silpakorn University Volume 10 Number 5 July - December 2017 ISSN 1906 – 3431 Tourism Development from Ancient City to Living Museum at Wiang Tha Kan, San Pa Tong District, Chiang Mai การพัฒนาการท่องเที่ยวแบบเมืองโบราณสู่แบบพิพิธภัณฑ์มีชีวิตของเวียงท่ากาน อ.สันป่าตอง จ.เชียงใหม่ Worapan Paipeng (วรดาภา พันธุ์เพ็ง) Abstract This research aimed to study an unsatisfied success of the existing tourism pattern as ‘Ancient City’ of Wiang Tha Kan and apply a new tourism concept as ‘Living Museum’ under a new paradigm to create Wiang Tha Kan’s tourism direction. The research used the qualitative research method that included the studies on history and tourism development and a search for the virtue of local tourism resources. Although Wiang Tha Kan was previously an important frontier during Hariphunchai period and was categorized as the 3rd group of ancient city, it has the weak points in the historical significances, archeological evidences and artistic works compared with other historical sites. In addition, the unsatisfied success was a result of misunderstanding of local community and external supporters that promoted the tourism pattern as an old paradigm, which ignored an actual potential of tourism resources and a relationship between local community and historic site. This research found the virtue of tourism resources that related to local lifestyle by using a four-dimension method: story, difference, significance and management. The results of this research were used to create activities and real management according to the concept of living museum. This new concept was proposed to public forum and was assessed by the stakeholders. The concept was accepted and used as a future direction for tourism management of Wiang Tha Kan.

Rebuilding Lanna: Constructing and Consuming the Past in Urban Northern Thailand
REBUILDING LANNA: CONSTRUCTING AND CONSUMING THE PAST IN URBAN NORTHERN THAILAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Andrew Alan Johnson May 2010 ©2010 Andrew Alan Johnson REBUILDING LANNA: CONSTRUCTING AND CONSUMING THE PAST IN URBAN NORTHERN THAILAND Andrew Alan Johnson, Ph. D. Cornell University 2010 This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the perspective and treatment of the city as a space imbued with charismatic power in Northern Thailand. Reviving the city through channeling and re-imagining the perceived past prosperity of the city of Chiang Mai in the wake of the economic crash of 1997 became a matter of concern for architects, activists, city planners, and spirit mediums: each group respectively sought to control the negative effects of the economic downturn through reconstructing a latent potential within the city with explicit reference to Chiang Mai‟s “Lanna” past (approximately the 13th-19th centuries CE). The various methods ranged from the attempts to redesign public space using models of urban design adapted from the Lanna period to the efforts of spirit medium devotees, who sought to stave off misfortune through reviving the literal guardian spirits of Lanna. However, such attempts at rebuilding both the physical as well as the spiritual integrity of the city carried with them the uncanny trace of misfortune made manifest in the ruins of pre-1997 buildings. These ruins stood alongside the shells of new high- rise construction, providing an unwelcome resemblance that put a pall on the hope placed on the new buildings.
