Residents and a Chiang Mai landscape firm asked the Lamphun governor to revise the Route 106 (Ban Hong–Li, about 19 km) widening contract so that roughly 1,000–2,000 near-century-old trees are transplanted instead of felled. The firm offers to do the transplanting at no cost to the state budget. They also asked that felling be paused until a meeting with the governor about a week later. The article does not say whether the contract will change. For a Thai SME, this matters mainly if you run landscape, tree-moving or construction-related work in Lamphun or Chiang Mai.
