The legend of Mae Ping River has a long history for over 700 years. The rivers known as "Lifeline of Chiang Mai Province". The land before Karinthip Village was developed was part of Mae Ping River line. The river once was used for the transport of timbers from pier to pier. Elephants were to pull timbers off the river. And for that reason, an elephant pier was built in this land. For every 100 years, the river changed its flowing direction and later created a land, which was called "Jang Sri Phoom"
