The abovementioned event was held on 11 Nov. 2006, at the Thai-Japan Youth Centre Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand. The pictures taken are not of very good quality because I used a mobile phone camera. I blamed myself for forgetting the Compact Flash memory card at my Singapore home when I brought my digital camera kit to the venue. Unfortunately, there was no way to purchase a new memory card on the early morning of the day.

A large part (69.31%) of Chiang Mai's land is covered by mountains and forests. These generally run in a north-south pattern through the province and give birth to several streams and tributaries (such as the Mae Jam, Mae Ngud, and Mae Klang) which in turn feed important rivers and irrigation canals (such as the Muang and Faay) which provide the water necessary to Chiang Mai's agriculture.

Chiang Mai's largest and most important river is the Ping, which originates in the mountains of Chiang Dao and flows southward for 540 kilometers (337.5 miles). It is along the banks of this river that Chiang Mai's flat, fertile valley area lies.

Chiang Mai is also home to Inthanon Mountain, which stands 2,575 meters (8,448 feet) above sea level and is Thailand's highest mountain.
