SERVING THE COMMUNITY
Chiang Mai Nayu is represented by a team of talented people that care about sustainability and Chiang Mai. Due to the intention and focus of the online dashboard being both broad but also specific, this attracts residents, both Thai and Foreign, to volunteer in an area (which we call Sustainability Indicator) that they are particularly interested in. Whether it be organic food, waste recycling, mental health or urban green spaces, each team member is drawn to what they are most interested in.
At this phase of Chiang Mai Nayu, there is a particular focus on researching and understanding the ‘baseline’ of each indicator. What exactly is the situation and status of Chiang Mai with regards to each specific ‘indicator’. Where are we today? Our aim is to aggregate the ‘trend data’ about that specific indicator so we actually know in which direction the city is heading. Trend data, is data that is collected over several previous years or even decades, for example for air quality.
As a team, we believe when actively working together with the same values, vision and mindset, we become powerful citizens to have a positive impact within the community. Nature, Economy, Society and Wellbeing are the four key dimensions of sustainability that we are focused upon to co-create a liveable flourishing city, where everyone has good life of standards and respect for each other and nature.
Translator
Pallatryn first reached out to us with the intention of spreading sustainability among the students of CMU. She has been the leading driving force to complete the translation of our first research brief, waste recycling. She worked very fast on this project and we are happy to have her support. We look forward to developing our relationship further.
Translator
Sopida’s knowledge of sustainability has been of particular importance when translating the more technical and nuanced aspects of Part 4 of the Waste Recycling brief. Together with Pallatryn, Sopida has helped us communicate using terminology familiar to the local residents. Coupled with our support in answering specific technical questions, it has been a great team effort.

Mink joined the team in 2022 as a professional translator, to translate the new website. We found Mink to be very professional in her approach and attitude, having both attention to detail and agreed project timelines. It is a pleasure to work with Mink and if you seek a professional Thai/English translator, we would recommend Mink.
Web Design
Napat joined the team in 2018 with the major task of designing and building our first website. Napat was instrumental in shaping the visual design of what we were trying to communicate. As a professional web designer her technical expertise was essential when deciding how to visually display the online dashboard and indicators.
