Dr. Pairat Decharin (Thai: ไพรัตน์ เดชะรินทร์; RTGS: Phairat Decharin, 6 February 1937 – 26 May 1991) was the governor of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.

Death

Decharin, 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]
