Scope and content : 20 June 1965 - Villagers could sell rice at a better price if there were roads connecting the village with Phayao, where there would be greater opportunities for trade. Horses could be purchased in Phayao and sold on to the local mountain people. Moreover, the people building the roads would purchase housing plots, thus giving the villagers additional money. Roads are good for merchants and officials, making it easier to travel. However, they have few perceived benefits for the common people, whose attitude toward them is neutral.
