Corals flourished when conditions were good , for instance with clean and well aerated water.

Lophophyllidae are common in the Permian limestones of Thailand. In In the Carboniferous limestones , they were known only at Phu Ki Kai in Northeast Thailand where a limestone has been considered Moscovian in age (FONTAINE ET AL. ,1991 , 2005). Sample T9514 ,collected south of Ban NamHu Pha Suea ,contains a poorly preserved solitary solitary coral only 9 mm in diameter. Septa are of two orders ,28+28 in number.

    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.

This is part of a special section entitled ‘Integrating Local Perspectives into Southeast Asian Archaeology’ edited by R. Shoocongdej, P. Kanjanajuntorn and W. Clarke. Abstract Contemporary archaeologists can no longer focus only on scientific research, they must also work with different interest groups whose use of archaeology may have positive and negative consequences. The dichotomy of foreigner versus local has been prominent in the discourse of the post-modern era. Archaeologists seem to be aware of their ethical and political roles when archaeology is used for knowledge production, economic development, and other public policy goals at the local, national and international levels. Consequently, in recent years the ethical issues involved in working with multiple communities or multi-ethnic groups have become important concerns for archaeologists globally. In the case of Thailand, most archaeologists generally have not focused on these issues, although there are many minority ethnic groups there, especially near the borders with neighboring countries.
