The study investigates the implications of the term farang and its effects from the perspectives of the term speakers or Thai people and the term hearers or Westerners. It also examines the attitudes of both Thais and Westerners towards farang in Thailand. To foster the interaction of both groups, their intercultural communicative competence when dealing with each other is specifically explored. Two research instruments were applied to collect data in this study. The questionnaires were collected with 60 Thais and 30 Westerners. Then, the in-depth interviews were conducted with five participants from each group. The results revealed that the Thai and Western participants shared similar views on the general definitions of the term farang which was defined as a Caucasian foreigner. But, both groups had different opinions on its connotations and functions which resulted in a sense of separation to the Westerners and the ignorance of Thai people on the origins of each Western individual. The findings showed that the term farang could cause offense when used in the presence of the Westerners, especially by Ref. code: 25595306040253TCZ (2) strangers. Therefore, the term farang should be avoided in the intercultural contexts. With regard to the attitudes, the majority tended to have positive beliefs, feelings and behaviours towards Westerners. However, the Western participants seemed to reflect their attitudes towards a group of Westerners quite negative compared to the Thais in terms of characteristics and assimilation. Lastly, the findings on the intercultural communicative competence demonstrated that both Thais and Westerners had moderate motivation to communicate with each other, good knowledge about cultural differences, but poor skills in communication. The main obstacles in intercultural communication between Thais and Westerners were the language skills and the different cultural values. It is concluded that to create a friendly and welcoming environment for the Westerners, both groups should have mutual understanding concerning with the power of the term farang and knowledge of different cultural dimensions between Thailand and the Western countries. Additionally, to enhance the relationships between Thais and Westerners, both groups should interact with each other more frequently in order to gain sufficient confidence and skills in intercultural communication as well as to practice analyse the worldviews from others’ perspectives. Most importantly, the significance of intercultural communication in the current era should be promoted in families, local communities, schools, international organizations and media.

This article unpacks the textual and visual representations of Negroes and Coolies in nineteenth-century Trinidad in the travelogue of British natural historian, Charles Kingsley, high- lighting the discursive powers of these representations in re-stabilizing British rule and order in the colony. Kingsley’s re-writing of colonized subjects cannot be disconnected from the re-definition and re-deploy- ment of ideas of race and rule across the British Empire, especially in the context of post-emancipation labour shortages, the rise of the black subject and colonial anxieties about the “Negro character”.

  • Introduction
    Introduction R. J. Ellis One of the most influential books ever written, Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly was also one of the most popular in the nineteenth century. Stowe wrote her novel in order to advance the anti-slavery cause in the ante-bellum USA, and rooted her attempt to do this in a ‘moral suasionist’ approach — one designed to persuade her US American compatriots by appealing to their God-given sense of morality. This led to some criticism from immediate abolitionists — who wished to see slavery abolished immediately rather than rely upon [per]suasion. Uncle Tom's Cabin was first published in 1852 as a serial in the abolitionist newspaper National Era . It was then printed in two volumes in Boston by John P. Jewett and Company later in 1852 (with illustrations by Hammatt Billings). The first printing of five thousand copies was exhausted in a few days. Title page, with illustration by Hammatt Billings, Uncle Tom’s Cabin Vol. 1, Boston, John P. Jewett and Co., 1852 During 1852 several reissues were printed from the plates of the first edition; each reprinting also appearing in two volumes, with the addition of the words ‘Tenth’ to ‘One Hundred and Twentieth Thousand’ on the title page, to distinguish between each successive re-issue. Later reprintings of the two-volume original carried even higher numbers. These reprints appeared in various bindings — some editions being quite lavishly bound. One-volume versions also appeared that same year — most of these being pirated editions. From the start the book attracted enormous attention.

This is my first visit to Singapore and I am completely impressed with the Icountry’s beauty, cleanliness and the round-the-clock energy. What captivated my attention, as soon as I landed here, was the absolute cleanliness reflected across the country. Right from Changi Airport, which is a tourist attraction in itself, for its spectacular architecture, to the small lanes; this cleanliness can be seen everywhere. It is inspiring to see how the authorities maintain this orderliness and neatness. I have observed how the system has ingrained this habit of cleanliness in the people of Singapore. The rules and fine system ensure that everyone follows this discipline. Another thing that drew my attention was the greenery that has been maintained everywhere. I would consider this incredible and the biggest tourist attraction.

    Global invasive plants in Thailand and its status and a case study of Hydrocotyle umbellata L. Siriporn Zungsontiporn Weed Science Group, Plant Protection Research and Development Office, Department of Agriculture, Bangkok, Thailand 10900 Email: [email protected] Summary Global invasive plant may invade in some countries, but it is not invasive plant in its native country or in range of distribution. Those plants are utilized in some means, such as vegetable, fruit, ornamental plant or medicinal plant in it native country or even it was invasive plant but people learned how to manage with that plant, they can utilize it. On the contrary way, an invasive plant of any country may not be invasive in any country else. Most of the invasive plants are intentionally introduced to a country for some purpose especially for ornamental plant. Hydrocotyle umbrellata L. was introduced to Thailand as ornamental plant, the plant can grow well and with some habit of invasive plant of this plant, nowadays the plant was found in many natural areas as weed. Introduction Most of invasive plant in an area is alien plant which was introduced from different habitat within a country or other country across geographic barrier. Well development of transportation stimulates traveling and international trading which cause of increasing introduction of alien species. Some of introduced alien plants can establish and spread out if it can adapt itself to survive in the new habitat well. If the environment of new habitat is suitable for it growth, the plant may express it invasiveness and compete for space and nutrient with native plant which it may complete over native plants due to lack of it natural enemy in new habitat.
