A map tends to suggest this road would actually be in Tambon Saohin, NOT Tambon Daohin:
New Mae Hong Song-Burmese border road to go ahead
Environmental impact studied
Khajohn Boonpath
A feasibility study was recently commissioned by the Mae Hong Son Provincial Authority in order to study the environmental impact on local road networks of a plan to develop the interstate road from Ban Mae Nam Laeb to Tambon Daohin, on the Burmese border. The aim of the new road is to facilitate cross-border trade.
All roads in the area, which contains national forest land, national parkland, watershed areas, and wildlife sanctuary areas, must by law be constructed in line with 11 precepts, to ensure the preservation of the environment of the entire area. For all proposed new roads and roadworks, local environmental effects must be studied, and the correct permits applied for.
On May 13, a seminar was held in Mae Hong Son for interested parties and local authorities to discuss the findings of the feasibility study as regards both the proposed new highway and other roads in the area. Opinions were sought concerning the effects of actual construction on immediate areas, with three local roads at present under development selected as examples for discussion. It was agreed that the proposed new highway should be developed, within the limits of the allocated 2009 budget.
