The network is the twin responsibility of the Department of Highways (DOH, th, กรมทางหลวง, ''Krom Thang Luang''), and the Department of Rural Roads (DORR, , ''Krom Thang Luang Chonnabot''), under the oversight of the Transportation ministry of Thailand.

Northern Thailand
Northern Thailand, or more specifically Lanna, is geographically characterised by several mountain ranges, which continue from the Shan Hills in bordering Myanmar to Laos, and the river valleys which cut through them. Though like most of Thailand, it has a tropical savanna climate, its relatively high elevation and latitude contribute to more pronounced seasonal temperature variation, with cooler winters than the other regions. Historically it is related to the Lanna Kingdom and its culture. Geography North Thailand is bound by the Salween River in the west and the Mekong in the east. The basins of rivers Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan, all tributaries of the Chao Phraya River, in the central part run from north to south and are mostly very wide. The basins cut across the mountains of two great ranges, the Thanon Range in the western part and the Phi Pan Nam in the eastern. Their elevations are generally moderate, a little above for the highest summits. Although formerly forest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
