    Chiang Mai Lampang Lamphun Mae Hong Son Contents Chiang Mai 8 Lampang 26 Lamphun 34 Mae Hong Son 40 View Point in Mae Hong Son Located some 00 km. from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is the principal city of northern Thailand and capital of the province of the same name. Popularly known as “The Rose of the North” and with an en- chanting location on the banks of the Ping River, the city and its surroundings are blessed with stunning natural beauty and a uniquely indigenous cultural identity. Founded in 12 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai has had a long and mostly independent history, which has to a large extent preserved a most distinctive culture. This is witnessed both in the daily lives of the people, who maintain their own dialect, customs and cuisine, and in a host of ancient temples, fascinating for their northern Thai architectural Styles and rich decorative details. Chiang Mai also continues its renowned tradition as a handicraft centre, producing items in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more, which make the city the country’s top shopping destination for arts and crafts. Beyond the city, Chiang Mai province spreads over an area of 20,000 sq. km. offering some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole Kingdom. The fertile Ping River Valley, a patchwork of paddy fields, is surrounded by rolling hills and the province as a whole is one of forested mountains (including Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon), jungles and rivers. Here is the ideal terrain for adventure travel by trekking on elephant back, river rafting or four-wheel drive safaris in a natural wonderland.

    ON THE HISTORY OF CHIANG RAI HANSPENTH ARCHIVE OF LAN NA INSCRIPTIONS, SOCIAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE CHIANG MAl UNIVERSITY The historical sources are nearly all agreed that King out the time and throughout its area of distribution, mang has Mang Rai founded Chiang Rai in Culasakkaraja (C.S.) 624, a the meaning of "king" or of "kingdom." year Tao Set. 1 It is therefore probable that Chiang Rai was founded sometime between 27 March 1262 A.D. and 28 March We do not know for how long mang was used in the royal 1263 A.D. 2 house ofthe Thai Yuan, to which PhayaMang Rai belonged. But Most sources do not indicate the day and the month, but it seems that soon after 1300 A.D. mang fell into disuse and was according to a work on the history of Phayao (PA Y.PP.29), the replaced by phaya after a period of transition during which both foundation day was a day 3, month 2, day 15 of the waxing words were used. The Chronicle of Chiang Mai mentions only moon, i.e. day of the full moon, C.S. 624. That corresponds to a two mang: Mang Rai and Mang Khram, his son. Both are also called phayif by the chronicle. But although mang is regularly Tuesday in about October- November 1292 or to a Tuesday two months later, viz. in about December 1262 - January 1263, used for Phaya Mang Rai and sometimes even exclusively depending on whether "month 2" here means the LcL11 Na (dropping the phaya), his son is rarely called Mang Khram; usually he is called Phaya Khram.

  • Disparities in the Change of Cervical Cancer Mortality Rate Between Urban
    Sripan et al. International Journal for Equity in Health (2021) 20:175 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12939-021-01515-1 RESEARCH Open Access Disparities in the change of cervical cancer mortality rate between urban and rural Chiang Mai in the era of universal health care and the Thai national screening program Patumrat Sripan1,2, Imjai Chitapanarux2,3,4* , Ekkasit Tharavichitkul2,3, Pooriwat Muangwong2,3, Donsuk Pongnikorn5, Narate Waisri4, Chirapong Hanpragopsuk4, Puttachart Maneesai4, Panrada Tansiri4, Malisa Poungsombat4 and Varunee Khamsan4 Abstract Background: The Ministry of Public Health of Thailand established universal health coverage (UHC) in 2002, which also included national-level screening for cervical cancer in 2005. This study examined the changes in mortality of cervical cancer in rural and urban areas in Chiang Mai Province of northern Thailand during the era of UHC and the immediately preceding period. Methods: Data of cervical cancer patients in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, who died from 1998 through 2012, were used to calculate the change in age-standardized rates of mortality (ASMR) using a joinpoint regression model and to calculate estimated annual percent changes (APC). The change in mortality rate by age groups along with changes by geographic area of residence were determined. Results: Among the 1177 patients who died from cervical cancer, 13(1%), 713 (61%) and 451 (38%) were in the young age group (aged < 30), the screening target group (aged 30–59) and the elderly group (aged ≥60), respectively. The mortality rate among women aged 30–59 significantly declined by 3% per year from 2003 through 2012 (p < 0.001).

  • The High-Speed Railway (HSR) Service, the Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: a Geographical Simulation Analysis
    Daisuke Hiratsuka, “High-Speed Railway, the EEC, and the Change of the Landscape of Thailand and its Neighboring Countries” BRC Research Report, Bangkok Research Center, JETRO Bangkok/IDE-JETRO, 2018 Chapter 2 The High-speed Railway (HSR) Service, The Eastern Economic Corridor's Development, and Thailand: A Geographical Simulation Analysis Ikumo Isono# 1 Overseas Research Fellow (Seville), IDE-JETRO Abstract: The economic impact of Thailand's HSR project, and development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM). The HSR service will generate a positive economic impact in the areas along the routes and in the areas extending from the stations, but will generate a negative economic impact in other areas. Adding the EEC's development to the Eastern Line project will generate a highly positive economic impact along the Eastern Line route, but other areas will suffer a negative economic impact in comparison with the baseline scenario. In order to spread the economic impact of development in one area across the whole country, additional measures are necessary, and in this paper, we propose the Mekong-India Economic Corridor (MIEC) as an example. Keywords: Simulation, Thailand, High-speed railway, Economic Corridor JEL Classification: O53; R12; R13 1. Introduction As the initiative of Thailand's high-speed railway and the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is being embodied, the economic impact of these projects has been estimated using the Geographical Simulation Model (IDE-GSM, Kumagai el al. 2013). Currently, four HSR projects, the Northeastern, Northern, Southern and Eastern Lines are planned, and construction of the Northeastern Line started in January 2018, and the EEC will cover from Bangkok to Rayong.
