  • Bibliography on Sailing to Suvarnabhumi
    Bibliography on Sailing to Suvarnabhumi Introduction Prof. Himanshu Prabha Ray & Dr Susan Mishra Introduction The Project titled ‘Sailing to Suvarṇabhūmi: Cultural Routes and Maritime Landscapes’ was proposed by the ASEAN – India Centre (AIC) at RIS and was sanctioned by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for two years on 30 December 2016. The Project was implemented from 1st May 2017 and the first year until April 2018 was utilized for preparation of detailed lists of readings on the various themes under the Project. The Bibliographies of the ASEAN countries prepared to date have been uploaded on the AIC- RIS website at http://aic.ris.org.in/culture-and- civilization. This introduction on the Project addresses the following issues with a view of providing a context to the Project and the Bibliographies: 1. Discussion of the term ‘Suvarṇabhūmi’; 2. The raison d’ȇtre of the themes chosen for the bibliography and their relevance; and 3. To what extent does the Project chart a different course vis-à-vis existing secondary writings on the theme of India and Southeast Asia interactions? 1. Defining Suvarṇabhūmi: Discussion of the term ‘Suvarṇabhūmi’ References to Suvarṇabhūmi are found not only in Indian literary sources such as the Arthaśāstra of Kautilya (2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE)1 and the Buddhist Jatakas, some of which date to 3rd century BCE,2 but in Greek accounts as well. Chapter II of the Arthaśāstra contains detailed descriptions of several commodities such as precious stones, perfumeries and cloth. It lists many varieties of aromatics and includes Kaleyaka or a kind of incense that came from Suvarṇabhūmi.3 References in Buddhist literature, especially in narratives associated with the past lives of the Buddha indicate the use of the term as a destination reached after sailing across dangerous seas.4 There are references to voyages undertaken by merchants to Suvarṇabhūmi in numerous Jātakas.

  • The Approach of Elections in Trang, South Thailand — Part I: Context and Competition
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 13 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 March 2019 The Approach of Elections in Trang, South Thailand — Part I: Context and Competition Michael J. Montesano* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Provincial voters will decide the outcome of Thailand’s 24 March elections, the first held since the country’s 2014 coup d’état. Provincial voters decide all of the country’s national elections. • While no Thai province is “typical” or “representative”, focused study at the level of a single province is crucial to understanding political dynamics in Thailand. • Even after a prolonged period of military dictatorship without an elected parliament, the Democrat Party is the de facto incumbent party in Trang Province, on the West Coast of South Thailand. • On the eve of the start of campaigning for the March 2019 polls, political actors and others in Trang acknowledged constraints on political activity and the apparent determination of the National Council for Peace and Order junta to tilt the outcome of the polls in favour of pro-military parties. • Notwithstanding this context, political actors and others in Trang looked forward to the coming elections as a meaningful, competitive exercise. * Coordinator, Thailand Studies Programme, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 13 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION After nearly five years of military dictatorship, Thailand will go to the polls on 24 March 2019 in elections that will take place in a climate of political repression and under a constitution intended to foster a restrictive political order. Many observers have dismissed these elections as almost meaningless.

  • 1 Country Report for BOBLME Programme: THAILAND
    1 Country Report for BOBLME Programme: THAILAND Kungwan Juntarashote Department of Fishery Management Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University Bangkok 10903, THAILAND [email protected] 1. Introduction 1.1 Country Background Thailand is a typical tropical country, located between 200 and 60 North latitude, and between 970 and 1060 East longitude. The country is bordered on the northwest by the Myanmar, on the east by Laos and Cambodia, and on the south by Malaysia. The total area of Thailand is 513,115 km2, of which 31 per cent can be classified as mountainous areas (ASEAN, 1986). The large and varied interior of the country possesses rich aquatic resources. In addition, Thailand’s coast line of 1,875 km includes the northern and western reaches of the Gulf of Thailand, which are relatively shallow waters rich in marine life, and the southwestern coastline extending 740 km along the Andaman Sea. These comprise essential nursery grounds for juvenile marine and brackish-water organisms of significant economic importance, and offer good potential for coastal aquaculture development. The climate of Thailand is tropical, with an average high temperature of 32 0 C and low of 230 C. There are three overlapping seasons: the monsoon that lasts from July to October, after which it turns moderate to cool until February and warms up to sweltering heat until June. A large majority of the over 62.3 million citizens of Thailand are ethnic Thais, along with strong communities whose ethnic origins lie in China, India and elsewhere. About 5.7 million people are registered in the capital city of Bangkok.

  • Remote Sensing for Mangrove Landscape Pattern Identification on the Coast of Ranong, Thailand
    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 47 : 182 - 190 (2013) Remote Sensing for Mangrove Landscape Pattern Identification on the Coast of Ranong, Thailand Puvadol Doydee1 and Monton Anongponyoskun2,* ABSTRACT The mangrove landscape in the Ranong coastal ecosystem provides habitat and niches for many aquatic animals. It also plays an important role in shoreline protection and serves as a livelihood source for millions of people. This study was conducted to identify and determine the pattern of mangrove patches and their species by using remotely sensed data and field methods, respectively. The point- centered quarter method was used for mangrove vegetation inventory. The results revealed that Mueng district had the highest number of mangrove patches. The smallest number of patches was identified in Kra Buri district. Most of the patches were clumped and elongated with a medium or large size. In total, 19 mangrove species were identified with 7 dominant species—namely, Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera parviflora, Ceriops decandra, C. tagal, Rhizophora apiculata and R. mucronata. The results provide useful information for mangrove habitat restoration and coastal landscape planning in Ranong province. The dominant species of mangrove found in the area could be promoted for mangrove rehabilitation. Keywords: remote sensing mangrove landscape, coastal ecosystem, Ranong INTRODUCTION Buot, 2010). In addition, they provide protection for habitats which are suitable as breeding and Mangroves are a unique ecosystem, nursery grounds for many species of shrimp, crab, linking the terrestrial and ocean ecosystems.

  • Analyzing Relationships Between Reconstruction Approaches and Social Vulnerabilities in Tsunami-Affected Thailand
    Analyzing Relationships between Reconstruction Approaches and Social Vulnerabilities in Tsunami-Affected Thailand An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by __________________________ Tyler Angers __________________________ Alissa Marien __________________________ Dean Rheaume Date: March 1, 2007 Advisors: __________________________ Bland Addison __________________________ Seth Tuler Abstract Following the destruction of the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, a major reconstruction effort was undertaken. This project investigated the relationships between the reconstruction approaches used by organizations and the social vulnerabilities villagers experienced in Thailand following the reconstruction effort. We found that certain reconstruction approaches resulted in houses that did not meet villagers’ needs and increased their vulnerabilities. Recommendations were made to government agencies and NGOs for improving future reconstruction efforts and to researchers to explore gaps in knowledge. i Executive Summary On December 26, 2004 a tsunami struck the southwest coast of Thailand, causing many casualties and much destruction of infrastructure across six provinces in Southern Thailand – Ranong, Phang Nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang, and Satun. Immediately following the tsunami, relief organizations, including both NGOs and the Thai government, began rebuilding the affected area. The goal of this project was
