PEYTON~AND K. MONGKOLPANYA~ ABSTRACT. Publishedmosquito records for Thailand listedin the world mosquitocatalog and supplementsand in several recently publishedchecklists are reviewed and revisedbased upon specimensdeposited in the National Museum Natural History, Washington,DC, USA, and the Department of Medical Entomology, Armed Forces ResearchInstitute of Medical Sciences,Bangkok, Thailand. A total of 410valid species/subspeciesare consideredvalid records for Thailand. This represents63 more species/subspeciesthan listed in the world mosquito catalog and supplements,and 32 more valid species/subspeciesthan given in the most recent publishedchecklist for Thailand. Numerousolder speciesrecords were alsore-evaluated for possibleinclusion in the list. Distributionand collectiondata are providedfor the new records,with noteson the locationof the specimens.Notes and distributionextensions are also providedfor 34 important or rarely collectedspecies already known from Thailand. Five subspeciesare elevatedto species:Anopheles baileyi, An. nilgiricus, An. paraliae, Aedes greenii and Ae. leonis. Three species/subspeciesare synonymized:Aedes albotaeniatus mikiranus, Ae. greenii kanaranus andAe. hegneri. The distributionsof 8 speciesare restrictedto specificareas outside of Thailand:Anopheles aitkenii to India and Sri Lanka;An. filipinae to the Philippines; An. niZ@icus to southernIndia; Aedes aureostiatus to easternIndonesia and the New Guinea area;Ae. macdougalli to southernIndia and Sri Lanka;Ae. niveus to the Philippines;Uranotaenia maculipleura to Malaysia and Ur. recondita to southwesternIndia.

The site is an evidence of prehistoric settlement and culture while the artifacts found show a prosperous ancient civilization with advanced technology which had evolved for 5,000 years, such as rice farming, production of bronze and metal tools, and the production of pottery which had its own distinctive characteristics. The prosperity of the Ban Chiang culture also spread to more than a hundred archaeological sites in the Northeast of Thailand.

    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 110 sample were divided into groups of 30 key, 50 casual, and 30 general informants respectively. The analysis was based on the research objectives using a triangulation technique and done descriptively. Historically, the people who lived at Amphoe Wang Saphung began to sell lotteries in 1984. Twelve years later, such part-time job spread to Amphoe Kranuan, Khon Kaen Province and Amphoe Kaedam, Maha Sarakham Province. Currently, the lottery sellers at the three villages chose to sell lotteries in Bangkok, tourist areas, such as Rayong and Nakhon Ratchasima Provinces. Some decided to sell theirs in their own Province. Each month, they left their homes trice: the second and the fourth weeks. They often went in groups using pickup trucks, vans or buses.

Our ways of life are sustainable and nature friendly and these traditions and practices have been taught and passed on from one generation to the next. But now because of State policies and waves of modernisation we are struggling to preserve and maintain our traditional ways of life” Mr. Joni Odochao, Intellectual, Karen ethnic, Opening Speech at the Indigenous Peoples Day Festival in Chiangmai, Northern Thailand 2007 Introduction on Indigenous peoples and ethnic groups in Thailand 1 The coalition was established as a loose network at the Workshop Programme on 5th July 2012 on the Shadow Report on the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) organised by the Ethnic Studies and Development Center, Sociology Faculty, Chiangmai University in cooperation with Cross Cultural Foundation and the Highland Peoples Taskforce 1 2. The Network of Indigenous Peoples in Thailand2, in the International Working Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) yearbook on 2008, explained the background of indigenous peoples in Thailand. The indigenous people of Thailand are most commonly referred to as “hill tribes”, sometimes as “ethnic minorities”, and the ten officially recognised ethnic groups are usually called “chao khao” (meaning “hill/mountain people” or “highlanders”). These and other indigenous people live in the North and North-western parts of the country. A few other indigenous groups live in the North-east and indigenous fishing communities and a small population of hunter-gatherers inhabit the South of Thailand.

The Acts of Nationality of 1961, 1966, 1992/1, 1992/2, and 2008, and the Revolutionary Council Announcement of 1972 will be approached by discourse analysis. The language used in the five Acts and the Revolutionary Council Announcement of 1972 will be analyzed to detect how significance and identity are produced and reproduced.
