True, remember about 3 yrs ago they wanted to cut down all those majestic trees on the CM to Lamphun road. It got the go ahead so the locals simply tied the orange cloth around them and then everybody refused to be the one to cut them down. Problem solved.

Accept for the multitudes who drive into them of course.
