Should you like to participate in the Sustainable Transport for Chiang Mai forum, you might like to consider these ideas presented in the past and reflect on the lack of progress in this area in over 10 years eg:
Biking @ Pradoo Suan Dok
and earlier a bike lane was painted but never maintained
Bike lanes not dead yet
and then there is the issue of getting to & from Chiang Mai:
new-high-speed-rail-link-in-thailand-good-or-bad-idea
and tongue in cheek:
chiang-mai-railway-station-upgrade
but our government is anti-sustainable ChiangMai as explained:
Borrow money & buy cars
and now for the clincher. This ancient report summarises “What Needs to be Done” ( apologies to V.I.Lenin )
HEAT-how-to-stop-the-planet-burning-Chiang-Mai
So everybody please consider these links and come armed with ideas on how to implement the radical changes necessary, not just to make Chiang Mai Transport Sustainable but the World Livable.

Dear All,
LCLN would like to add that dedicated community groups have for more than 10 years tirelessly supported national and local government events with zero progress in health and the environment for the whole community putting our youngest and our future generations at high risk. The air pollution levels in our city is poisoning us all…sign the LCLN peoples pledge on Monday 16th
