Halfway House Royally Re-named
Last week’s announcement that Chiang Mai suddenly had a new district, the 25th in fact, was the cause of much comment and speculation. After all, this is a small city!
However, we can relax. As often happens, the authorities made no distinction between Chiang Mai, the city, and Chiang Mai, the province. In fact, Wat Chan is located halfway between Samoeng and Pai, half a day’s hard motorcyle ride from our city centre.
Half a million baht will be spent by the provincial authority to renovate an existing arts and crafts centre to become the local admin office.
The official name will become Galyani Vadhana, in honour of the late Princess, the elder sister of His Majesty the King.
