Premna trichostoma Miq. (Lamiaceae) mainly distribute in Asia including Thailand. Folk healers use this plant to treat fever as a juice splash and bathe. The aims of this study are to evaluate the quantity of active constituents and antioxidant activity of P. trichostoma leaf extract. Total phenolic compounds were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total flavonoid contents were determined by Aluminum chloride method. The amount of apigenin and kaempferol contents were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In addition the antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and ABTS assay. The results showed that total phenolic contents total flavonoid contents and the amount of apigenin and kaempferol of P. trichostoma leaf extract was 46.45±15.30 mg GAE/g extract 25.48±2.02 mg CE/g extract 11.16±0.04 and 4.54±0.08 µg/g extract respectively. The IC50 values from the DPPH and ABTS assay was 117.50±1.22 and 36.14±1.53 µg/ml respectively. This study shows the antioxidant properties and active constituents of P. trichostoma leaf extract which indicates the potentials for further development of this plant

An optimal of walking path to travel in Lopburi City was the shortest distance of path anduses least travel time. The research methodology used the survey of 10 real locations togetherwith viewing satellite maps and diagrams from Google earth.com for graphing and weighting of edges (distance time). The result analysis used the basic ideas of graph theory by finding the path that has all the vertex and used the idea of matrix by finding the adjacency matrix. The result of the research shown that an optimal of walking path to travel in Lopburi City that is to be as following Wat Puen Wichayen House Prang Khaek Somdet Phra Narai National Museum Lopburi Wat Phrasi Rattana Mahathat Wat Bandai Hin Wat Inthra Wat Nakorn Kosa Phra Kal Shrine Phra Prang Sam Yot with a total distance of 2090 meters in 25 minutes.
