Abstract

This research aimed to synthesize railroad travel and commercial quartiers in the Chiangmai–Lamphun–Lampang historical context through a creative rail travel route design. In this qualitative research using participatory action research approaches, researchers selected 100 research populations as key informants through purposive sampling and applied fieldwork data-collection forms and in-depth interviews as research instruments.


The result found that the railroad travel route structure in the Chiangmai–Lamphun–Lampang on the same-day excursion is a close-loop route pattern. The route passes through 7 commercial quartiers in 3 provinces by means of train travel with local identical vehicle connections such as red minibusses, trams, and horse carriages. This travel route was tested by researchers and academic tourism experts.
