    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.

Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Chiangmai Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai, Thailand (3) Department of Geology, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract (Archaeoseismology of the A.D. 1545 earthquake in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand): The A.D. 1545 Chiang Mai earthquake in northern Thailand was studied by historical and archaeological sources.The temple Wat Chedi Luang has lost about half of the original 80-metres height due to southward-directed collapse. Twenty-one temple sites – out of 74 visited – has tilted pagodas, up to 5° in various directions, dominated by a SE trend. All damaged temples were built before the 1545 earthquake. We suggest that a city-wide liquefaction event caused tilting. The responsible earthquake possibly occurred along the Doi Suthep Fault within city limits. Possible activity of distant faults is assessed. Key words: palaeoseismology, Thailand, liquefaction, Wat Chedi Luang INTRODUCTION An important obstacle to the assessment of earthquake hazard at present is the lack of information about old earthquakes (Ambraseys, 2009: xii). The locations of larger historical earthquakes have been found to be known well enough to guide field studies for further in situ investigations. Properly run field studies provide reliable observations for the assessment of damage, intensity, and its distribution, ground effects and surface faulting.

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.

  • PART 3 the Employed Men
    THE MOUNTRAVERS PLANTATION COMMUNITY - INTRODUCTION P a g e | 1044 PART 3 The employed men Chapter 3 Biographies of managers, 1734-1807 Father and son, James and Joseph Browne, 1734-1761 James Browne was the longest-serving manager on Mountravers but a lack of documents meant that relatively few details about his plantation management could be established. Today, the Brownes are best known for their plantation in the parish of St James Windward which was later called Eden and then Eden Browne. The setting of a tale about a death by duel, the old Browne’s estate is now one of the tourist attractions in Nevis. ◄► ▼◄► James Browne may well have come from an old, established Nevis family: in the 1670s there were eight Brownes on the island, including a ‘free Negro’ called John Brown.1 By the early 1700s the number had increased to eleven, mostly through the arrival in 1685 of several Monmouth rebels transported for Governor Stapleton. It appears that James was born in 1710 and the son of James Browne, a member of the Nevis Council.2 James Browne junior studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and was said to have joined the Inner Temple at the age of 16.3 However, he did not follow a legal career but in 1734 was installed as manager on John Frederick Pinney’s plantation. His appointment was a family affair: Jeremiah Browne, who almost certainly was an uncle of James’s,4 was John Frederick Pinney’s guardian, while 1 Oliver, VL Caribbeana Vol 3 Nevis Census 1677/8 2 UKNA, CO 186/1 3 Oliver, VL History of Antigua Vol 1 p76; also http://www.innertemple.org.uk/archive/ 4 The man Mary Pinney had appointed as her son’s guardian, Jeremiah Browne, was a wealthy landowner.

However, the films aren’t just targeted atwomen; in fact everyone might learn something. A panel of expert judges, including acclaimed director Bryan Barber gave their opinions on all six films, and chose an overall winner.Considering all films were shot on zero budget, they really are an amazing feat.
