Death
[edit]Gorv. Pairat, along with his wife and children, were among 223 people aboard killed in Lauda Air Flight 004, which crashed into the Phu Toei National Park, Thailand.[3] Charles S. Ahlgren, the former U.S. consul general to Chiang Mai, said "That accident not only took their lives and that of many of Chiang Mai's leaders, but dealt a blow to many development and planning activities in the town."[4]
