Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, As a Sustainable Model1
Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, as a Sustainable Model1 Bonnie Pacala Brereton Abstract—Wat Chaisi in Sawatthi village, Sawatthi District, located about twenty kilometers from the bustling provincial capital of Khon Kaen, is a unique example of local cultural heritage preservation that was accomplished solely through local stakeholders. Its buildings, as well as the 100 year-old murals on the ordination hall, have been maintained and are used regularly for merit- making and teaching. The effort was initiated by the abbot and is maintained through the joint effort of the wat community, Khon Kaen Municipality, and various individuals and faculties at Khon Kaen University. This paper will examine the role of local leadership in promoting local cultural heritage. Introduction Of the more than 40,000 Buddhist wats in Thailand seventeen percent, or nearly 7,000, are abandoned.2 Of those still in use, many are becoming increasingly crammed with seemingly superfluous new structures, statues, and decorations, funded by people seeking fame or improvement in their karmic status. Still others are thriving because of the donations they attract through their association with what is sometimes called “popular Buddhism,” a hodgepodge of beliefs in magical monks, amulets, saints, and new rituals aimed at bringing luck and financial success (Pattana 2012). Yet countless others are in a moribund state, in some cases tended by one or two elderly, frail monks who lack the physical and financial resources to maintain them. Both situations are related to the loss of cultural heritage, as countless unique 1 This paper is adapted from one presented at the Fifth International Conference on Local Government, held in Palembang, Indonesia, September 17-19, 2014. -

ZooKeys 933: 1–14.https://doi. org/10.3897/zookeys.933.49314 Abstract Hirudinaria manillensis (Lesson, 1842), commonly known as the buffalo leech, shows a polymorphism of two ventral colorations. The green color morph has a plain green ventral surface and the red color morph has a brick-red ventral surface with two black submarginal stripes. Based on molecular and morphological evidence in the present study, these two color morphs were revealed as two different species. The red color morph fits well with the description of H. manillensis, while the green color morph showed some distinc- tions, and therefore is described herein as Hirudinaria thailandica Jeratthitikul & Panha, sp. -

CROSS-BORDER IMPACTS OF THAI SEZS ON LAO SEZS AND COLLABORATION IN THE MIDST OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION Alay Phonvisay, Viengsavang Thipphavong and Thantavanh Manolom1 Abstract Out of the 10 new SEZs of Thai Government, five will be located in the Thai provinces along the border with Laos where SEZs have already been set up and some are in operation. To attract investors to these planned SEZs, Thai Government has proposed a new measure to facilitate cross border labor movements of both skilled and unskilled types. This paper aims to address potential impacts of Thailand‟s SEZ initiative on Laos‟ SEZs by combining desk studies and semi-structured interview based on locational choice model in majors Laos‟s SEZs. Considering SEZs in Laos tends to be more attractive to investors because of cheaper electricity, treated water supply, land lease, and labor cost. Moreover, the direction and the objective of SEZ development has been cleared compare to Thailand‟s SEZs which are not clearly identify. Moreover, there is high probability of cooperation between those SEZs along the border in order to gain the most benefit. In order to gain the most benefit from SEZs for Laos and Thailand, strengthening coordination between public and private sector is necessary. Key words: SEZs, cross-border impacts, Thai-Lao, regional integration. 1 Dr. Alay Phonvisay, Economic lecturer, Faculty of Economic and Business Administration, National University of Laos ([email protected]).
