Thailand's Progress on the Elimination of The
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. -

Sedimentary Characteristics of Sand Dune from Bang Berd, Chumphon Province, Southern Thailand
28 Sedimentary characteristics of sand dune from Bang Berd, Chumphon Province, Southern Thailand Nattawut Prachantasen1, Montri Choowong2*, Santi Pailoplee2 and Sumet Phantuwongraj2 1 International Logging Overseas Ltd., Bangkok, Thailand 2 Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The stratigraphy and sedimentary structures within Bang Berd dune field suggest a geological history that includes paleo-storm deposits. The goal of this project is to characterize the sand dunes in terms of their sedimentological features, including grain size distribution, internal sedimentary structures, wind direction indicators and documenting the evidence for paleo-storm deposits in this area. On aerial photographs, the dunes are aligned in N- W and S-E wind directions. Sand dunes here can be divided, on the basis of their geographic position and their morphological features into 3 units, outer dunes, middle dunes and inner dunes. Interestingly, sedimentary structures within the sand dune are very rare; only well developed inclined lamination can distinguish washover deposits from dune deposits. Both wind-blown and washover sands are very fine-grained, well to very well sorted and subrounded to rounded. The deposition of washover deposits that cover the outer dunes that is aligned in an almost east-west direction may indicate unusual paleo-storm pathways strike into the areas based on alternated washover deposits and dune sequence during 93+18 and 126+14 years ago. Key words: sand dune, washover, OSL, Bang Berd 1. INTRODUCTION Sand dunes occur in many environments, including along sea coasts, lake shores and desert. The direction and velocity of wind, in addition to the local supply of sand, result in a variety of dune shapes and sizes (Fritz and Moore., 1987). -
