Short Paper Proceedings on Climate Change Adaptation in Agricultural Sector, Thailand Short Paper Proceedings on Climate Change Adaptation in Agricultural Sector, Thailand 15 September, 2017 Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo PREFACE Meteorological Uncertainty caused by Global Climate Change would have significant impact on agricultural sector, because agricultural systems are strongly related with local climate condition. In Thailand, agriculture is major sector which producing 11% of GDP and 40% of employment. Ratio of irrigated agricultural land is about 30% and other 70% is rain-fed so that climate change makes agricultural production more unstable and also makes significant damage to the societies and economics in local area. To mitigate these issues, it is desirable to develop and disseminate enhanced adaptation systems including new varieties that are effective together with new cultivation methods, crop growth monitoring system to detect water stress condition, soil and water management to improve crop production. Furthermore, it is necessary to conduct reliable research to find ways to achieve economic betterment through agriculture under CC condition. In this workshop, we aim to review the current state and relevant research of above topics and to discuss about framework of CC adaptation strategies in agricultural sector, in Thailand. CONTENTS: 1.

The results showed that the number of leaves, number of roots, new shoots, new inflorescences, CO2 exchange rate and stomatal conductance decreased as the salt concentration in the water increased. Meanwhile, salinity had no effect on flower appearance. Therefore, D. Sonia ‘Earsakul' at the flowering stage can be irrigated with 40 ml of water with a 2,000 µS cm-1 EC per plant at 2-day intervals for 2 months. Keywords: Electrical conductivity, NaCl, Orchid, Saline water 1 INTRODUCTION filled with coconut husk. Two weeks before the experiment Thailand is the world’s largest producer and exporter commenced, the plants were acclimatized under the 60% of tropical orchids, including species such as shading greenhouse at Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Dendrobium, Ascocenda and Vanda. The production area Agriculture, Kasetsart University, Bang Khen, Bangkok, is mainly in Central Thailand, i.e. Samut Sakhon, Thailand. On average, air temperature was 30°C and Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi, Phra Nakhon Si relative humidity was 70%.

  • The Local Language of the Phran Kratai City Kamphaeng Phet Province
    th The 10 International Conference on Art and Culture Network 11-13 march 2020, Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University, Thailand The local language of the Phran Kratai city Kamphaeng Phet Province Wanassanan Nutchanart1, Suphachokchai Nanthasri2, Phathooramphai Praphatsorn3, Pimnara Banjong4 and Weerawan Jangmo5 Office of Arts and Culture Rajabhat University Kamphaeng Phet 1E-mail : [email protected], Telephone Number : 084-6226600 Introduction Language is a culture between humans and humans, and there is nothing that makes humans feel better than language. Language is therefore a means of communication between people in their home country or country of residence. Especially the local language is classified as a language that is unique or popular in that locality. Articles about the local language of Phran Kratai City Kamphaeng Phet Province Focus on the study of the local Phran Kratai language. According to legend, it is said that the hunters came to explore the route to build the outpost of Sukhothai. One day while he was resting, the hunter found a very beautiful golden rabbit in front of a cave and disappeared into the cave. The hunter then prostrated to Phra Ruang to acknowledge and volunteered to catch the rabbit and made several attempts to catch it but was unsuccessful. Therefore built a permanent house in front of the cave to wait to catch rabbits. Many years later, more and more immigrants came to become villages. The villagers therefore named the village as "Ban Phran Kratai" was established as the first district in 1895. Phran Kratai dialect is the language used to communicate since the primitive community that came to colonize the construction of Phran Kratai country.

  • Chapter 3 GEOCHEMISTRY and AGE DETERMINATION of VOLCANO-PLUTONIC ROCKS
    Chapter 3 GEOCHEMISTRY AND AGE DETERMINATION OF VOLCANO-PLUTONIC ROCKS 3.1 Introduction Volcanic and plutonic rocks are thought to be formed by partial melting of mantle and lower crustal rocks above subduction zones and mantle plumes, during rifting or during other tectonic processes (Campbell et al., 1974). This magmatism tends to produce hydrothermal fluids either through circulation of pre-existing water through heated rock or directly through the expulsion of magmatic fluids during magmatic crystallization. Most metals are soluble in these hot fluids but precipitate to form ore deposit when these fluids undergo major physical or chemical changes, e.g. porphyry copper, and volcanic hosted massive sulphide (Burnham, 1979; Tatsumi and Eggins, 1993). In Chapter 2 it was demonstrated that the occurrences of major gold and iron-gold provinces in Thailand were closely associated with the occurrences of volcano-plutonic rocks indicating a hydrothermal origin for these deposits. In this chapter the link amongst the magmatism, the tectonics and the ore deposit will be explored by undertaking a brief study of the geochemistry and age of mineralisation. The occurrences of major gold and iron-gold deposits in northern and northeastern Thailand are restricted to two orogenic belts (Jungyusuk and Khositanont, 1992); the Sukhothai located to the west of the Nan-Uttaradit suture and the Loei- Phetchabun Fold Belt, to the east (Fig. 3.1). With notable exceptions, previous tectonic reconstructions of Thailand and mainland Southeast Asia were based

    TEAMWORK 001 THAI FOOD ADVENTURE Idea for Creative MICE Journeys CULTURE ON THE BEACH CSR GRAND EVENT 002 003 001 Thailand 7 MICE Magnificent Themes 2020 is the third phase of the project in which Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB has realized that there is a demand for new MICE products among business operators and MICE travellers whose behaviors have shifted. Thus, TCEB has continued this project to seek and develop new MICE products in 7 categories with the highest demands to cater to the MICE market in Thailand and abroad. In the 2020 fiscal year, TCEB sought new MICE products and venues in MICE cities and other cities with potential, totaling 11 cities: Bangkok, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Pattaya, Chanthaburi, Phuket, and Surat Thani. We truly believe this project will contribute to strengthening the MICE ecosystem while providing new ideas for event organizers who are looking for creative activities along the MICE route to offer a learning experience and a memorable journey for MICE travellers. Moreover, the project is expected to help drive growth for the local economy as well as reinforce that Thailand is a MICE destination with readiness equal to other MICE cities around the world. These activities and venues from the 7 themes of Thailand 7 MICE Magnificent Themes 2020 will inspire event organizers to mix and match fun and joyful ideas for MICE travellers. Welcome to a world of creative ideas along the MICE route. Are you ready to join us in developing the MICE industry? 002 01 Fascinating History and Culture When the words ‘history’ and ‘culture’ comes together, it means visiting his- torical attractions which offer sentimental value for the later generations.

    GW-4 Geological Survey of Japan, AIST Project report on CCOP-GSJ/AIST-GA Groundwater Phase II Project Final Meeting 18-20 March 2014, Bandung, Indonesia COORDINATING COMMITTEE FOR GEOSCIENCE PROGRAMMES IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA (CCOP) In cooperation with GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF JAPAN (GSJ), AIST Published by CCOP Technical Secretariat Bangkok, Thailand Youhei Uchida (Chief Editor) PREFACE Groundwater is one of the limited natural resources of the world. Because of the lack a feeling of importance of groundwater, especially, in the late 20th century, groundwater has been significantly damaged by human activities, resulting in groundwater issues, such as land subsidence, seawater intrusion, and groundwater pollution by toxic substances, that have become remarkable problems in everywhere in the world. The countries in the East and Southeast Asia have been also faced the many groundwater problems which are needed international cooperation to be solved. Since the establishment of the organization in 1966, geological and geophysical surveys have been carried out by the CCOP under the cooperative schemes in the East and Southeast Asia for offshore natural resources. These data have been distributed to member countries as printed maps and publications. As for a groundwater project, “Groundwater database in East and Southeast Asia͇had been compiled under the DCGM Phase IV project of CCOP from 2001 to 2004. The following project, named “Groundwater Assessment and Control in the CCOP Region by CCOP-GSJ/AIST Groundwater project” from 2005 to 2008, had been started from a point of view of finding a solution of issues on an exploration and an exploitation of a groundwater resource.
