Name of creator(s) : Michael Moerman

Scope and content : January 27, 1961. The capacity of the mill was 30 kwian [measure for paddy (equal to 16 piculs) – translator] of unhusked rice per day, and the price of rice was dependent on the price set in Bangkok. Milled rice would be sent to Bangkok for sale, and exported for sale in Taiwan, Japan and Laos. The mill owner told Moerman that if the condition of roads were better, rice transport would be more convenient. But then he would face an additional challenge - his mill might be in competition with mills in Lampang and the town of Phayao, and they would attempt to purchase rice from the same farmers.
