For example: Mrs. Daen had her permanent living place in Kanchanaburi province. She came to visit relatives in Bangkok and delivered master Champ at Ramathibodee Hospital in Bangkok. Count the place of birth of master Champ as Kanchanaburi province, according to the permanent living place of his mother.
