Linking Transport Infrastructure Development in the North with Neighboring Countries (31/12/2017) The Government is setting a priority for developing transport infrastructure in northern Thailand, linking with CLMV countries, which comprise Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The objective is to promote tourism and economic activities in a more systematic manner. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha touched on this issue in his national address on 29 December 2017, following his visit to Phitsanulok and Sukhothai provinces and a cabinet retreat in Sukhothai on 26 December. He had instructed the Ministry of Transport to accelerate the construction of the second Chiang Mai International Airport, expand runways at Lampang, Phrae, and Nan airports, and improve various services at Phitsanulok airport. Among major transport infrastructure projects being planned in the North is the construction of the Chiang Mai Chiang Rai motorway. A Multi-Modal Transportation Logistics Center will also be built in Phitsanulok, connecting with the Sila At railway station in Uttaradit. Another project is a light rail transit system, to be invested in by the Government, or under the \"Public Private Partnership (PPP) program. Northern Thailand has great potential and vast opportunities for linking trade and services with countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Construction of ongoing double-track and high-speed rail projects will even contribute to trade and tourism opportunities in the North. The northern region covers 33 percent of Thailands total area. Its population accounts for 18.3 percent of the countrys total population. The aging population in the North is the highest of all regions in Thailand. The Government plans to develop Chiang Mai and Phitsanulok as centers for trade, health business, education services, and digital business. Major rail transport stations will be developed in Nakhon Sawan, Phrae (Den Chai district), and Chiang Rai (Chiang Khong district.) A study will be conducted on the development of the West Economic Corridor in Tak, Phitsanulok, and Sukhothai. 1/10/2021 Page 1 กรมประชาสัมพันธ์.

Northern Thailand
© Lonely Planet Publications 339 Northern Thailand The first true Thai kingdoms arose in northern Thailand, endowing this region with a rich cultural heritage. Whether at the sleepy town of Lamphun or the famed ruins of Sukhothai, the ancient origins of Thai art and culture can still be seen. A distinct Thai culture thrives in northern Thailand. The northerners are very proud of their local customs, considering their ways to be part of Thailand’s ‘original’ tradition. Look for symbols displayed by northern Thais to express cultural solidarity: kàlae (carved wooden ‘X’ motifs) on house gables and the ubiquitous sêua mâw hâwm (indigo-dyed rice-farmer’s shirt). The north is also the home of Thailand’s hill tribes, each with their own unique way of life. The region’s diverse mix of ethnic groups range from Karen and Shan to Akha and Yunnanese. The scenic beauty of the north has been fairly well preserved and has more natural for- est cover than any other region in Thailand. It is threaded with majestic rivers, dotted with waterfalls, and breathtaking mountains frame almost every view. The provinces in this chapter have a plethora of natural, cultural and architectural riches. Enjoy one of the most beautiful Lanna temples in Lampang Province. Explore the impressive trekking opportunities and the quiet Mekong river towns of Chiang Rai Province. The exciting hairpin bends and stunning scenery of Mae Hong Son Province make it a popular choice for trekking, river and motorcycle trips. Home to many Burmese refugees, Mae Sot in Tak Province is a fascinating frontier town.

ICAO/COSCAP Aerodrome Certification Course Bangkok, Thailand 29 June – 2 July 2009
MISSION REPORT ICAO/COSCAP Aerodrome Certification Course Bangkok, Thailand 29 June – 2 July 2009 Purpose of Mission The purpose of the mission was to present a course in aerodrome certification based on the requirements of ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 and other relevant ICAO specifications for participants invited from the Asia Pacific Region, including member States of COSCAP-SA, COSCAP-SEA and COSCAP-NA. The objective of the course was to enable participants to develop an improved understanding of all the important regulatory and safety aspects of aerodrome certification, based on the international standards and recommended practices, and to allow participants to be able to anticipate issues and challenges faced by aerodrome operators who are required to achieve certified status. A course brochure, which was distributed in advance of the course, is at Attachment 1. Background ICAO Annex 14 Volume 1 requires States to certify certain aerodromes. This has been difficult for some States to achieve due to a lack of knowledge about certification requirements, the organizational and staffing arrangements necessary for the aviation regulatory authority, how to apply the requirements to an aerodrome operation and lack of knowledge regarding safety management systems in general coupled with a limited amount of experience in implementing an aerodrome safety management system. In recognition of these factors the course was conducted under the auspices of the ICAO Regional Office and the combined COSCAPs, and held in the Conference Hall of the Kotaite Wing at the ICAO Asia and Pacific Regional Office, Bangkok. Captain Len Cormier, CTA of COSCAP-SEA, with support of the other COSCAP CTAs, arranged for the course to be presented by Captain John Slaughter, ICAO Aerodrome Consultant, who was in the region on another ICAO mission.
