Fang district is 150 kilometers from Chiang Mai province .The roads to fang twist and turn through the mountains. Travel is slow and can be dangerous. Communication with central government is difficult for people here,so the local population got together to submit laws for the establishment of fang province,to include fang district,Mae Ai district and Chai Prakarn district,as the 78th province of Thailand. At the moment they are waiting for the Thai Parliament lower house to consider their proposal.
