Chiang Mai

King Mengrai founded the city of Chiang Mai (meaning "new city") in 1296, and it succeeded Chiang Rai as capital of the Lanna kingdom. The ruler was known as the Chao. The city was surrounded by a moat and a defensive wall, since nearby Burma was a constant threat. With the decline of the Lannathai kingdom, the city lost importance and was often occupied either by the Burmese or Thais from Ayutthaya. Because of the Burmese wars that culminated in the fall of Ayutthaya in April 1767, Chiang Mai was abandoned between 1776 and 1791. Lampang then served as the capital of what remained of Lannathai. Chiang Mai formally became part of Siam in 1774 by an agreement with Chao Kavila, after the Thai King Taksin helped drive out the Burmese. Chiang Mai then slowly grew in cultural, trading and economic importance to its current status as the unofficial capital of northern Thailand, second in importance only to Bangkok. The modern municipality dates to a sanitary district that was created in 1915. This was upgraded to a municipality on March 29, 1935

Royal Flora Ratchaphruek

The Royal Flora Ratchaphruek was a flower festival held 1 November 2006, to 31 January 2007, in the Thai city of Chiang Mai that drew 3,781,624 visitors. It was one of the grand celebrations being hosted by the Royal Thai Government in honor of King Bhumibol, the worlds longest reigning monarch. The Ratchaphruek (Cassia fistula L.) or Golden Shower Tree is the national flower of Thailand. It is also named "Khun" or "Chaiyaphruek". The reason that the Ratchaphruek was used to symbolize the nation lies in color: its yellow blossoms match the yellow of Buddhism; furthermore, the Thai people regard yellow as the color of the King as well. Moreover, all golden shower trees bloom at the same time; this unity in flowering was felt to reflect the unity and identity of Thais. The event was located in 80 hectares of land at the Royal Agricultural Research Center in Mae Hia sub-district, Mueang district, Chiang Mai Province in northern Thailand. The 92 days of the expo featured 30 international gardens reflecting nations such as Japan, South Korea, Belgium, Netherlands, South Africa, and Canada; more than 2.5 million trees of 2,200 species of tropical plants and flowers are presented to the world in this exhibition. The AIPH, the Association of International Horticultural Producers, gave this expo A1 status, its highest level; such an exhibition occurs only once a year throughout the world. In addition, a host country can only hold one such exhibition once a decade. The festival included many highlights to attract tourists: Gardens for the king there were two features in this zone: one was International gardens, which were presented by 30 participating nations and covered 21,000 square meters; the other was corporate gardens, which covered 27,475 square meters, and were presented by both Thai state enterprises, and domestic and international major corporations. 9

 Ho Kham Royal Pavilion This building featured Lanna architecture, the architectural style of northern Thailand; inside, visitors saw pictures of King Bhumibol's works and his dedication. Thai Tropical Garden The enormous 100,000-square-meter garden showcased the diversity of tropical horticulture: fruit varieties, plants, flowers, herbs, and rare plants. Expo Plaza This was the focus of the exposition's fun-filled activities, amenities, and services. Visitors were able to purchase products from the Royal Projects and authentic local products from Chiang Mai such as handicrafts, paper umbrellas, and souvenirs. Cultural shows a total of 45 cultural show from various regions of Thailand were performed here, including traditional music and dance. In addition, cultural performances from other nations were presented in this place. The Thai government had expected an average of 20,000 visitors per day, with over 100,000 visitors on a crowded day, and 3 million visitors in total to attend the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006. At the exposition's conclusion, organizers claimed that the exposition had injected 27 billion baht into the regional economy. The Thai government has proposed transforming the site of the exposition into a permanent training center. Despite some complaints of corruption and substandard facilities, organizers believed the exposition achieved its goals of promoting tourism and developing Thai horticultural industries. The park was open to the public in 2008 with many of the past highlights still very much in evidence, including the international exhibits. It is thought that it will remain to stay open as a valued addition to things to do in Chiang Mai. Currently, admission is free, though these will most likely change. The park receives around 500 visitors a day at the moment, mainly Thai. Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2011 The International Horticultural Exposition or known as the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek Fair is aimed to mark and celebrate the three auspicious occasions.

Analysis of Ban Mae Klang Luang

Conservation From the surveying of Ban Mae Klang Luang we found that the natural resources in this area are very plentiful. And the activities that relate to tourism are not affected to natural and environmental of village because this village is established to be the conservation area that forbids hunting animal and there is the code of conduct for tourist to follow. The municipal district help to take care about the waste and sewage of the local consuming and there is no controlling about tourist consuming because the number of tourist is not much and is not affected to local people and natural. But the problem about soil erosion and fire happen in sometime Socio/culture The daily life and the culture of local people still preserve the local identity and they dont change their local culture to follow the new culture that influenced in Thailand from the foreigner. They are very proud their identity and their living such as cloth and food still remain like in the past ; except in sometime they have to dress normal dress and the one thing change is the gender roles because women go out to work more than take care their children. There is no crime but there is drug because some local people addict and they will be separated from tourist. Economic Generation/Distribution For the business in Ban Mae Klang Luang; the local people participate with everything. For example, the land; the local have the knowledge about the land more; they dont sell their land but they use the benefit from their land to plant tree, vegetable and other business. The business in this village; the local will be the partnership of that business as well; the employee of business will be the local people but there is some people work outside their village. The cost of living is increasing because there is a number of tourists travel in this village more that why the local people have to buy more product and material to support the tourist. Education/Awareness on Green Concept The local guide of Ban Mae Klang Luang are very knowledgeable because the people who will be the guide have to attend the training to be a good local guide every year to improve their performance and evaluate the quality of the local and the number of local guide will increase every year because the good income and sometime they have hire more guide because some guide have to work other part. So they have to find other people to handle. The knowledge that local gain will be from the officer of Doi Inthanon National Park but the information that local guide have will be only general information but they dont know in the detail of ecotourism concept. People Participation / Empowerment The local people participate in decision making and when they have a meeting; they will ask the opinion from local people; if local people dont agree with the project; the head will reject immediately. There is the ecotourism club which name is Sai Thara; this club is established by local people. However; this club is not progress much because there is only some group of people care about and develop their club. Stakeholder Collaboration In this village; the collaboration of local , government and private sector are good because the government help to support about the budget to develop and facilities will be from private sector to hire or employ the local people to work in their business.

16

Planning/Management Issues There is the new policy to improve and develop the village increasingly in every part which will get some help from stakeholder to make the plan. The plan is not clear because the stakeholder of this village still think about it.

Doi Inthanon
Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. It is located in Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai Province. The mountain was also known in the past as Doi Luang (meaning big mountain) or Doi Ang Ka, meaning the crow's pond top. Near the mountain's base was a pond where many crows gathered. The name Doi Inthanon was given in honour of the king Inthawichayanon, one of the last kings of Chiang Mai, who was concerned about the forests in the north and tried to preserve them. He ordered that after his death his remains shall be placed at Doi Luang, which was then renamed. Today, the summit of Doi Inthanon is a popular tourist destination for both foreign and Thai tourists, with a peak of 12,000+ visitors visiting the summit on New Year's Day. In addition to a range of tourist facilities on the summit, there is also a Royal Thai Air Force weather radar antenna on the summit. Doi Inthanon is part of the Thanon Thong Chai Range, a mountain range of the Thai highlands stretching southwards from the Daen Lao Range. This range, the southwesternmost of the Shan Highland system, separates the Salween watershed from the Mekong watershed. Other high peaks of the Loi Lar Mountain Range are Doi Luang Chiang Dao (2,175 m), Doi Pui (1,685 m), and Doi Suthep (1,601 m). In 1954, the forests around Doi Inthanon were preserved, creating Doi Inthanon National Park, as one of the original 14 National parks of Thailand. This park now covers 482.40 km and spreads from the lowlands at 800 m altitude up to the peak at 2565 m. The summit experiences average year-round temperatures in the low to mid teens (Celsius) and high humidity. It is not uncommon for the temperature to drop below zero during the winter months. Given the varied climatic and ecological areas regions, the park supports a range of animal species including over 360 bird species.

Lamphun
Lamphun is located in the river valley of the Ping River. It is surrounded by mountain chains, with the Thanon Thong Chai Range in the west and the Khun Tan Range in the east of the province. It is some 670 kilometres from Bangkok and only 26 kilometres from Chiang Mai. The provincial seal shows the temple Wat Phra That Haripunchai, which was already the main temple of the city Lamphun during the Mon times. The gold-covered chedi is said to contain a relic of Buddha. The provincial flower is the Flame of the Forest (Butea monosperma), and the provincial tree is the Rain Tree (Samanea saman). Under its old name of Haripunchai, Lamphun was the northernmost city of the Mon kingdom of the Dvaravati period, and also the last to fall to the Thai. In the late 12th century it came under siege from the Khmer, but did not fall. However in 1281 King Mengrai of Lanna finally seized the city, and made it part of his kingdom. After Burmese expansion in the sixteenth century, Lamphun was also under Burmese rule for two centuries. In the eighteenth century, with the rise of Thonburi and Bangkok against Burmese rule, local leaders from Lampang agreed to be their allies. Lamphun was finally free from the Burmese and ruled by relative of Lampang's leader, gaining vassal status from Bangkok. Eventually after the administrative reform of Bangkok government in late nineteenth century, Lamphun became a part, as a province, of Siam or late Kingdom of Thailand. Wat Phrathat Hariphunchai Wat Phrathat Hariphunchai was built in the reign of King Athittayarat of the Raman dynasty in 897. Later on in 1433 during the reign of King Tilokraj, the King of Chiang Mai, it was repaired and renewed; five new pagodas in the Srilanka style were built and added. The pagodas enshrine the ashes of the Lord Buddha. Religious ceremonies of the province are performed here. The Phrathat Hariphunchai Pagoda has a nine-tiered umbrella made of gold weighing about 6500 grams. The square-shaped base of the 46-meter-high gold-topped chedi in the center of the courtyard is the oldest structure in the temple. Ten centuries younger world. The sala was restored in 1915 after it was damaged by fire. Wat Chamthewi ( Ku Kut ) This monastery was built around A.D. 755 by Khmer artisans. The pagoda structure is of the square Buddha Gaya characteristics as seen in India. Three standing Buddha is mages, in the attitudes of blessing are enshrined on each level of the pagoda base of each side totaling 15 images for one side of five levels, grand totaling 60 Buddha images around the pagodas. Relics of Queen Chammathewi, the first ruler of Hariphunchai, are housed inside the pagoda. The pagoda top was originally covered with gold but later, was broken and disappeared thus giving ris to the name "Ku Kut" or Pagoda without top

Lampang
Lampang is located in the broad river valley of the Wang River, surrounded by mountain chains. In the Mae Mo district lignite is found and mined in open pits. To the north of the province is the 1697 m high Doi Luang. Within the province are the national parks Chae Son and Doi Khun Tan National Park in the Khun Tan Range, as well as Tham Pha Thai, Doi Luang National Park and the Huay Tak Teak Biosphere Reserve in the Phi Pan Nam Range Starting in the 7th century Lampang was part of the Dvaravati period Haripunchai kingdom of the Mon. In the 11th century the Khmer empire occupied the Lampang area, but it was King Mengrai of Lannathai who incorporated the complete Haripunchai kingdom into his kingdom in 1292. Lampang or Nakhon Lampang or Lakhon, was under the Burmese rule after the fall of Lannathai Kingdom from the sixteenth century to eighteenth century. During the uprising against Burmese rule by Siam's new kings in the late eighteenth century, a Lampang's local leader became Siam's ally. After the victory, the leader was named to be the ruler of Chiangmai, the former center of Lannathai, while his relative ruled Lampang. The city continues to be one of the most important economic and political centers in the north. Lampang was announced as a province in Thailand in 1892 The provincial seal shows a white rooster inside the entrance to the Phra That Lampang Luang temple. According to local legend, Buddha visited the province in his lifetime. The god Indra worried that the people would not get up by themselves to show respect to Buddha, and therefore woke them by transforming himself into a white rooster. The provincial flower is the Heliconia and the provincial tree is the Indian Elm. According to the legend, this tree was planted in the temple during Buddha's visit. Wat Phra That Lampang Luang About 20 kilometers from Lampang is the old temple of Wat Phra That Lampang Luang. On first glance, this walled citadel sited on a man-made mound of earth has a very fortress-like look to it. That's because the temple was built on the site of an eighth century fortification, called a wiang, that guarded the routes to Lampang. The temple buildings seen today were built in the fifteenth century, and one of the reasons for the temple's popularity is the relatively pure state of all the temple buildings. Unlike most of the temples in Chiang Mai, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang hasn't been 'improved' to conform to modern Thai ideas about temples. The courtyard is still filled with sand, and the huge main wiharn (prayer hall) is still open on all sides. The large chedi and prayer chapel of the temple to enter the temple, you must pass a pair of guardian lions and climb the naga stairway up to the massive main gate. The main prayer hall, the Wiharn Luang, stands close inside the main entrance. The wiharn is open on all four sides, forming a huge covered hall. Sturdy columns support the roof. The columns are finished in black lacquer and stenciled with gold leaf designs. The gilded 'ku' containing the main Buddha image in the wiharn at the back of the Wiharn Luang sits a massive gilded ku, a sort of Laotian prang sheltering the main Buddha image. The Buddha image is the Phra Chao Lang Thong, cast in 1563. On either side of the Ku are throne-like pulpits, sometimes used by monks but more often used to house other Buddha images on important ceremonial days. Behind the main prayer hall stands the 45 meter tall chedi. The chedi was faced with copper and bronze sheets, which over the centuries have oxidized into a variety of green and blue shades. The chedi has somehow escaped the gilding which is now universally applied to chedis, even if they weren't originally built that way. Flanking the chedi on the south side is another prayer hall, the Wiharn Phra Phut, a small chapel built in 1802 with a beautifully carved fascade. Behind the Wiharn Phar Phut is a tiny 19

tower-like structure, the Ho Phra Phuttabat. It houses a Buddha footprint sculpture. The building is generally only open on important festival dates, and may never be entered by women a four year old library building. On the other side of the chedi and the main wiharn are two other small open chapels. Although very weathered, both have some rather interesting details and murals. A doorway on the south side of the gallery leads you to several other buildings, as well as the temple's museum. On the way, you'll pass an ancient bodhi tree whose branches are supported by a forest of crutches. The two museums are not very interesting, even though one houses the Phra Kaeo Don Tao, a supposed 'copy' of the Emerald Buddha and made at the same time. But it lack most of the subtlety of the Emerald Budda, and the setting doesn't do it justice. For a close-up look at the Emerald Buddha, you're better advised to visit Wat Phra Kaeo in Chiang Rai, where they have a recently made copy in a beautiful setting. However, there is a beautiful 400 year old scripture library in amongst the museums that is worth a look.

Self-Reflection
1) Itinerary is not along as we set 2) In royal flora event have a little time to spent with it 3) The majority of student didnt know about itinerary even if the leader of class told everyone already 4) Car was broken in day three 5) Minority group only know where first aid box 6) In the last day we not know exactly number of participants 7) There is some friend want to use toilet during the journey on the bus 8) Not serious with tour guide role 9) There is someone did pipe line broken 10) Driver in each bus didnt wait each other

The way to solve the problem

1) Make activities in evening shorter by postpone activity of doing benefit at temple in the last day 2) Manage suitable time of individual 3) Try to disseminate to the leader of each group 4) Transfer people in bus three to rest of three bus and change new the bus after lunch 5) Try to disseminate the news 6) Contact each bus to know the number of participant in each bus 7) Stop the bus to did personal affair 8) 9) Inform the person who look after of that place 10) Try to tell driver to wait other bus
