SUMMARY:THAI WIND: Exploring Thai BL Dramas with a Focus on Chiang Mai and the North
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nOn Valentine’s Day 2025\, we rode the “Korean Wave” and explored the world of K-dramas. In 2026\, we’ll be flying on the “Thai Wind” as Thailand’s own hugely successful “BL” “Boys’ Love” or “Y” dramas have been called. We’ll be finding out what they are (and what they’re not) and asking how the BL industry has come to be “Thailand’s newest soft power”. Focusing on the dramas made or set in Chiang Mai and the North\, we’ll be examining how our region is represented in them and encountering some of the writers\, producers\, directors and actors who create them. We’ll also be keeping a look-out for those that might appeal to audiences beyond the many BL fans.Why have some of the most memorable dramas come from the North? Join us for what promises to be an informative and fun workshop event! \nPresenter: Graham Jefcoate\nGraham Jefcoate was born in England and studied English and Library Science in Cambridge and London\, though he spent much of his working life abroad\, particularly in the Netherlands.Today he lives in Chiang Mai\, where he has pursued his interest in the life of foreign communities in early 20th-century Siam/Thailand. His collection Enchanted Land: Foreign Writings about Chiang Mai in the Early 20th Century was published by River Books in 2023. Graham has given many presentations and led many excursions relating to the life of foreign communities in Chiang Mai for Lifelong Learning Payap. In addition\, he is a great fan of both K-dramas and BL dramas and loves sharing his knowledge of and enthusiasm for these new genres of film with LLL participants. Last year’s presentation on K-dramas was enthusiastically received. \nCOST : 350 THB

SUMMARY:From Crop to Cup: An Excursion to Lanna Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Itinerary:\n8:30 am Depart from Lifelong Learning Payap Center\n9:00 am Arrive at the Mae Jo cherry processing facility. Our guide\, Richard Mann\, will explain the different wet milling processes that they use\, as well as some new processes that they are developing. Cherry pulping and drying will be available to see.\n10:30 am– Head to Lanna Café and the Integrated Tribal Development Foundation warehouse and office in San Phi Sua.\n10:45 am – Tour the dry mill facilities (hulling\, grading\, and roasting) followed by experiencing “cupping” – a tasting to test the quality of coffee and find the unique\ncharacteristics of each type of coffee. Richard will introduce us to 3-4 different types of coffees/processes. He will explain the difference in flavors and how the different processes and roasting influence those flavors. Each participant will also receive a complimentary drink of their choice from the café.\n12:45 pm – depart for Lifelong Learning Center \nThe Back Story on Lanna Coffee (adapted from the Lanna Coffee website) \nLanna Coffee’s roots go back to 1961 when Richard Mann began introducing Caturra and Catuai coffee hybrid seedlings to rural villages in the Thai highlands. With his program being widely successful\, the United Nations recruited Richard to head an opium eradication project that ultimately ended opium production by providing a viable replacement – coffee. During the time that Richard was working in the opium eradication project\, his son Mike spent a lot of time with his father in villages\, learning about their way of life and the problems they faced. Eventually\, Mike decided to use this knowledge and experience to continue his father’s work by founding the Integrated Tribal Development Foundation (IDTF). Established in 1990\, ITDF is an organization committed to improving the lives of poor hill tribe communities “in many aspects of life\, including clean water\, sanitation\, agriculture\, education\, health\, and cash crops.” It created a project that would become the first fair trade certified coffee co-op in Thailand. The objective was to take coffee farming to the next level by producing a coffee that could reach international standards and\, in turn\, provide more money and opportunity for poor ethnic farmers. IDTF provides proper training\, improved coffee varieties that can thrive in the hills of nothern Thailand\, and processing quipment in order to meet these standards. Today\, over 400 coffee farms in northern Thailand are 100% farmer owned. ITDF purchases single-source\, pesticide-free coffee beans directly from these farmers and markets them as Lanna Coffee. The main market is in the US. \nTo bring the story full circle\, the manager of Lanna Coffee’s warehouse and coffee processing operation (and our guide on this excursion) is Mike Mann’s son\, Richard\, named after his grandfather\, who first introduced coffee seedlings into the highlands of northern Thailand over 60 years ago. \nCOST: 800 THB ( includes transportation\, coffee tasting and a complimentary beverage from the café )
