  • Conflict in Fishery Resource Utilization: the Case of Light Luring Anchovy Fishery in Thailand
    IIFET 2000 Proceedings Conflict in Fishery Resource Utilization: The Case of Light Luring Anchovy Fishery in Thailand Ruangrai Tokrisna Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Faculty of Economics, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract. In late 1999 Artisanal Fisherman Association in Thailand requested the government to take actions in curbing destructive anchovy fishing gears. They believed that anchovy fishing was the main cause of fishery resource depletion in their fishing grounds. Main anchovy fishing gears were light luring falling net, purse seine, and scoop net. All of them are Juvenile bycatch varied from 1.72 – 30.37% of total catches depending on gear type, vessel size, fishing ground, fishing month, and fishing year. Economic losses of juvenile bycatch were $1 – 331/boat/trip. In Songkhla, the crisis problem area, economic losses from light luring falling net were as high as 0.42 – 7.64 times of the return from anchovy. The losses from light luring anchovy purse seine were 23 – 35% of the return from anchovy. The losses from light luring scoop net varied around 2 – 7%. Anchovy catch values in Thailand was $26 million in 1997. Value added from processing was $65 million, mainly from fish sauce. In spite of low value added, 59% of the catches were processed as boiled-dried/dried anchovy mainly for export. 44% of the anchovy value in the importing country were the trade margins, including tax, in importing country. Fishing cost was 20%. This cost estimation did not include the economic loss from juvenile bycatch. Processing and marketing costs in Thailand amounted to 19%.

  • International Student Handbook
    International Student Handbook Walailak University Student Handbook Content: Message from the President President’s 9 Strategies Message from the Vice President of … About WU Education / Courses Research Campus Life Walailak University Student Handbook Message from the President The Next Lap: Striving to be a world class university Colleagues and Friends, It has been almost two years since my arrival in Thasala, Nakhon Si Thammarat, to take up the Presidency of Walailak University. WU is located in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, some 800 kms South of Bangkok. It is close to one of the most famous tourist attractions in Thailand, the Island of Samui in Surat Thani. Nakhon Si Thammarat is about one-hour flight from Bangkok. On 29th March 2018, WU celebrates the 26th anniversary of its foundation. Understandably, it has had ups and downs over those years. But all in all, WU has been able to maintain its greatest strengths in terms of quality staff, world class research, community engagement, and employability for graduates. Its strength in the area of Health Sciences is second to none in Thailand. The School of Medicine will be expanded even further when the 750-bed Hospital Center is completed at the end of 2019. Needless to say, WU needs a lot of changes to keep up with the fast-changing world. Some changes here may have to be even quite drastic. It is a big challenge for me, but I am excited about new opportunities here. It will be very different from my previous Professorship and Presidency at the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) in Bangkok.

  • Medical Hub of Asia March 2012
    Medical Hub of Asia Thailand: Medical Hub of Asia March 2012 Thailand is the medical hub of Asia and one of the world’s leading destinations for such services. With a first-rate health care technology infrastructure, the Thai medical services industry provides quality on par with developed countries yet at a fraction of the cost. Recognizing both the Kingdom’s capacity to deliver world-class treatment and the substantial demand from abroad, the Thai government is focusing development on three major areas: medical services, health care such as spas and traditional massage, and herbal products. This includes medical tourism, with projects concentrated in the high tourist areas: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Surat Thani, Pattaya and Hua Hin. The country is also renowned for alternative medicine such as meditation, yoga and Thai massage, with these services delivered by private providers and specialized medical centers. Just as investment in high-tech care equipment continues to rise, opportunities are also expanding in the medical device and pharmaceutical sectors. Affordable First-Class Quality With over 1,000 public and 400 private hospitals operating at high standards and fully equipped with internationally trained physicians, Thai medical service provides excellent care at very competitive prices. The prevalence of physicians with overseas training and hospitals’ multilingual staffs also means there are no communication barriers for foreign patients. Each year the country attracts about 2 million medical tourists from abroad. The most prominent treatments requested by the foreign patients are general check-ups, dental care, hip replacements, laser eye surgery, kidney transplants and heart surgery. In comparison, some surgeries conducted in Thailand are as much as 90% less expensive than in the United States.

  • Rice Production in Rattaphum District, Songkhla Province, Thailand
    International Journal of Business and Economic Affairs (IJBEA) 2(1), 18-30 (2017) DOI: 10.24088/IJBEA-2017-21004 ISSN: 2519-9986 Rice Production in Rattaphum District, Songkhla Province, Thailand WANDEE NUANSOI 1∗, AMARIN SUNTINIYOMPUKDEE 2, AREE TAHLAH 3 1, 2, 3 Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya, Rattaphum College, Thailand Abstract: Since the prices of agricultural products have decreased, especially rubber and rice which are the major exported products of Thailand, farmers who have limited agricultural areas have had to make important decisions regarding investing in farming for their self-living. This research is aimed at comparing the costs and returns of rubber and rice production in Rattaphum district, Songkhla province, Thailand. A three-stage random sampling technique was employed to obtain primary data from 50 farmers who work on rubber plantations and 50 farmers who grow rice, the total is 100 people with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire. The data were collected by conducting interviews with the participants during the crop year in 2015-2016. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, frequency count, percentages and compare mean. The study revealed that most of the farmers owned around 6 Rai of agricultural land. Farming was done by them. The studied costs in this research consisted of, firstly, the costs of rubber production. During 1-19 years of rubber trees, there were the average fixed costs of about 285.42 Baht per Rai per year and the average variable costs of about 6,797.91 Baht per rai per year. The total costs were 7,083.33 Baht per Rai per year.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.
