| | Nan province (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Nan always conjures up the image of "Virgin of Thailand" a typical Lanna town surrounded by mountains, successfully conserving their local ways of life, scarcely touched by the sweeping wind of changes, especially when compared with other Lanna towns. |
 | | The cultural identity and self-expression of the Nan people are apparent, not in the lifeless conservation of local culture and artifacts, but in the dynamic way the Nan people learn to live with changes, on the basis of self-awareness and of strong cibil society network. |
 | | Nan manages to link the social capital of kinship relations to its faith in Buddhism, culture and tradition, and local wisdom, with regards to natural resource management. |
