Karinthip Village, the legend of Mae Ping River, has a long history for over 700 years. The river is known as “Lifeline of Chiangmai Province”. The land before Karinthip Village was developed, was part of Mae Ping River line. The river once was used for the transport of timbers from pier to pier. Elephants were to pull timbers off the river. And for that reason, an elephant pier was built in this land.
