1 Paper Title: Rocket Festival in Transition: Rethinking ‘Bun Bangfai’ in Isan Name of Author: Pinwadee Srisupun Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology, Khon Kaen University, Thailand Advisor: Dr. Yaowaluk Apichartwallob Assoc.Prof., Khon Kaen University, Thailand Address & Contact details: Faculty of Liberal Arts, Ubon Ratchathani University, Ubon Ratchathani 34190 Thailand Tel: + 66 45 353 725 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Panel prefer to presentation: Socio – Cultural Transformation Abstract Every year from May to June, ethnic Lao from Laos and Northeastern Thailand hold a rocket festival called Bun Bangfai. Traditionally, rockets were launched in the festival to ask the gods, Phaya Thaen and the Naga, to produce rain in the human world for rice farming and as a blessing for happiness. The ritual combines fertility rites which are important to the agrarian society with the Buddhist concept of making merit. There is no precise history of the festival, but some believe that it originated in Tai or Dai culture in China’s Yunnan Province. The province of Yasothon in Thailand is very popular for tourists who seek traditional culture. We can see the changing of Bun Bangfai from the past to present which includes pattern, ideas, and level of arrangement and from the original ritual to some unrelated ones. This paper presents a preliminary study about Bun Bung Fai in Isan focusing on Yasothon Province of Thailand case, not only because it is well known, but it is also an international festival clearly showing the process of commodification. How can we deal with Bun Bangfai festival of Yasothon especially the commodification process from local to global level? And from this festival, how can we interpret and understand Isan people’s way of life? The study found that the festival was full of capitalists, local and international who engage in every site. -

Thailand's Progress on the Elimination of The
Thailand’s Progress on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor: 2015 1) Prevalence and Sectoral Distribution of Child Labor 1.1 In what sectors or activities were children involved in hazardous activities or other worst forms of child labor? For all sectors, please describe the work activities undertaken by children. In particular, if children were engaged in forestry, manufacturing, construction, fishing, agriculture, and street work, please provide information on the specific activities (within the sector) children engage in. Please also explain the hazards for any sector in which the dangerous nature of the work activities may otherwise be unclear to the lay person (four further explanation, please HAZADOUS ACTIVITIES and WORST FORMS OF CHILD LABOR in the Definitions section). Answer: According to the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board Thailand witnessed a reduction in the population of children ages 0-17 years from the years 2010-2015. In 2015 there were roughly 14.48 million children between 0-17 years, a reduction compared to 15.42 million in 2010 and 14.86 million in 2013. On the other hand, Thailand found an increase in the number of students enrolled in the national education system, from 4.99 million students enrolled in 2000 up to 5.33 million students in 2013. These factors have contributed to a reduction of working children in the labor force. In this regard, the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) examined quarterly data of Thailand’s labor force status survey1. In the 3rd quarter of 2015, there were 38.77 million people in the labor force or available for work. -

The Relationship Between Thai Local Administrative Organisations' Collaborative Capacities and Outcomes
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THAI LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATIONS’ COLLABORATIVE CAPACITIES AND OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF WASTE MANAGEMENT by SIRINBHATTRA SATHABHORNWONG A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Local Government Studies School of Government and Society College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham February 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Thailand faces problems associated with an increase in municipal waste, only a small amount of which is managed using proper waste management techniques. In response to this problem, the government has implemented public policies that support collaborations between local administrative organisations (LAOs) and other organisations or groups in the management of waste. This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of such collaborations, particularly those in the area of waste management and collaborative capacities in general. The thesis draws upon data from a national-level survey and four case studies. This data identified new sub-types of collaborative capacities that can inform our conceptual understanding: policy capacity, which is a new sub-type of administrative capacity; and innovation capacity, which is a new sub-type of social capacity.
