Greetings,

A first post, and a thanks in advance. I've searched the forum with inconclusive results.

Can someone provide me the current mailing address for the Chiang Mai Women's Correction Institute?

As I understand it, the female prisoners are now housed in the old men's facility since the closing of the old Chiang Mai prison earlier this year.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Lo

I don't know the answer, but welcome to the forum. Someone should know.

Thank you, I will wait on them.

It's where the men's prison was. At the corner of the Mae Rim Road and what is referred to as the "Ring Road". Sorry I don't have Highway numbers but you can not miss it if you take Chiang Mai 700 Year Stadium Road from the Doi Saket Road or the Mae Jo Road and head towards Mae Rim. At the Mae Rim Road turn right and look to your right and there it is.

Edit: Ah I misread your post. You want the postal address. Sorry can't help.

Thank you none the less.

Hopefully someone will know the mailing address.

I sent a PM with the address and e-mail that I got from their website.

Mae Rim Road? I was taking touristy photos in the old city a few months back, and some guy rushed out waving his arms, saying photos were not permitted.

I'd been trying to photograph the women's prison.

Are there two prisons?

I was allowed to photograph the restaurant on the street.

That one has already been demolished as I understand it. I think there is a legal dispute ongoing over the future of the land.

While I was there earlier this month (April 2013), one of guards scribbled down the address in Thai.

Chiang Mai Women's Correctional Institute

ตั้งอยู่เลขที่ 142 ถ.โชตนา ต.ช้างเผือก อ.เมือง จ.เชียงใหม่ 50300

I've confirmed that it is the same address provided on the Chiang Mai Women's Correctional Institutes FaceBook page found HERE.

I am unable to read Thai, but the above address appears to be an abbreviated version of the one you've provided below.

Chiang Mai Women's Correctional Institute

เลขที่ 142 ถนนโชตนา ตำบลช้างเผือก อำเภอเมือง จังหวัดเชียงใหม่ 50300

My thanks to you!

If anyone here reads Thai, could you please verify which address is more correct, or combination thereof?

They both are the same address but most people use the first one which abbreviates the words tanon, dumbon, amphur, jungwat.

The words ahead of the number "142" are better in the second one however.

Correction: building has not been demolished as I just passed by there an hour ago. It is vacant with barbed wire around it.
