Immediate Assistance to Ease Impacts of the Earthquake in Northern Thailand (7/5/2014) The Cabinet during its meeting on 6 May 2014 formed a committee to provide immediate assistance and ease impacts of the earthquake in northern Thailand. The committee is chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi, who cited the earthquake as one of the strongest Thailand has ever experienced. The earthquake, with the epicenter in Phan district in Chiang Rai province, occurred at 6:08 p.m. on Monday, 5 May 2014. Following the quake, measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale, there were more than 100 aftershocks up until 7:00 a.m. on 6 May. More than 50 aftershocks were below 3.0 on the Richter scale; 41 were between 3.0 and 3.9; 13 were between 4.0 and 4.9; and five were between 5.0 and 5.9, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. There were reports that the quake and its aftershocks could be felt mainly in the northern provinces of Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang, Nan, Phayao, and Phrae. People in high-rise buildings in Bangkok also felt the tremor. The famous Wat Rong Khun in Mueang district of Chiang Rai sustained substantial damage and is now closed for repairs. Mr. Plodprasop said that the aftershocks would last at least three days following the quake. Officials involved are conducting a survey on damage to lives and property caused by the quake. The survey will be completed within 15 days. He stated that the Cabinet is preparing an emergency fund for relief and rehabilitation work. A long-term plan has also been prepared to deal with future earthquakes. The Ministry of Public Health reported that five hospitals in Chiang Rai and two in Chiang Mai had been affected. However, all of them are now operating as usual. The Ministry has worked out a plan to cope with the earthquake situation in the North and the central region. Health personnel have also been instructed to monitor the situation closely and prepare emergency assistance. The Chiang Mai Provincial Culture Office has sent officials to survey the damage to historical structures in Chiang Mai. The survey shows that no significant archaeological sites were damaged; only some temples were slightly affected. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, major tourist attractions in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Lampang were not affected by the quake. Other popular tourist destinations throughout Thailand, including those in the central region, such as Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Ko Samet, and Ko Chang, and in southern Thailand, such as, Phuket, Krabi, Khao, Phang-nga, Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao, have not been affected. Regarding road travel, because of some cracks on roads caused by the earthquake, the Mae Lao Mae Suai highway between the kilometer markers 151-152 (Chiang Mai Chiang Rai) has been closed to traffic. Highway 118, or the Chiang Rai Chiang Mai route, sustained cracks covering a stretch of 50 meters on the kilometer marker 141, leaving only one lane open to traffic. To avoid heavy traffic on this road, the Department of Highways has advised motorists to use other routes, such as the Chiang Mai Lampang Phayao Chiang Rai road, for the time being. 24/09/2021 Page 1 กรมประชาสัมพันธ์.

Language Revitalization Or Dying Gasp? Language Preservation Efforts Among the Bisu of Northern Thailand
Language revitalization or dying gasp? Language preservation efforts among the Bisu of Northern Thailand KIRK R. PERSON Abstract Bisu, as spoken in Northern Thailand, boasts fewer than one thousand speakers. The low number of speakers plus constant pressure from the outside world definitely qualifies Bisu as an endangered language. The Bisu themselves recognize this fact and their leadership has requested outside help in preserving their language and culture. This article endeav- ors to describe the sociolinguistic situation in which the Bisu of Northern Thailand find themselves, chronicle e¤orts to preserve this endangered language through community involvement in the development of an or- thography and basic reading materials, and assess the current progress of the project. Additional challenges that may be encountered in the course of preserving the Bisu language for future generations will also be discussed. 1. Introduction The plight of endangered languages has received increased attention in the professional and popular press. What is clear is that a great number of the world’s smaller languages may disappear within a generation or two (Crystal 2000). Less clear is what may be done to preserve these lan- guages, both in terms of collecting and archiving data for professional use, and in fostering linguistic appreciation and maintenance among the language communities themselves. This article has two aims: to describe the sociolinguistic situation in which the Bisu of Northern Thailand find themselves, and to chronicle e¤orts to preserve this endangered language through community in- volvement in the development of an orthography and basic reading materials. 0165–2516/05/0173–0117 Int’l.

Age-Friendly Communities Development in Northern Thailand : Hua-Ngum’S Experience and Implementation in Other Sub-Districts
Age-friendly Communities Development in Northern Thailand : Hua-Ngum’s Experience and Implementation in Other Sub-districts Rungnapa Thepparp A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Social Welfare Japan College of Social Work Graduate School of Social Welfare 2017 Abstract The study of “age-friendly community development in northern Thailand: Hua- Ngum’s experience and implementation in other sub-districts,” makes a research assumption that the age-friendly community concept has the potential to be a model for sustainable rural development. It aims: 1) to conduct a needs assessment to analyze the Thai aging situation; 2) to construct an age-friendly community (AFC) development model from a good practices (GP) study; and 3) to generalize the AFC development model into guidelines to develop an AFC. The study mainly adopts qualitative research as the main methodology, however, both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to investigate the empirical evidence. The study is conducted in rural communities in northern Thailand by focusing on Hua-Ngum sub- district and four other selected sub-districts in the northern region. The results of the good practice study (GP) of Hua-Ngum sub-district and four other selected sub-districts in northern Thailand can be summarized through three models, including: 1) the logic model of age-friendly community development, which aims to explain the assumed causal connections of input, output, and outcome of age-friendly community development; 2) the process model of age-friendly community development at the community level as a model to explain the stage of development of the age-friendly community.

Appropriate Attenuation Model for Chiang Mai, Thailand from Field Measurement to Model Equation

Thailand has also many fault, especially upper northern. The upper northern part may risk by earthquake. The earthquakes damage of buildings or people and these damages will depend on peak ground acceleration (PGA). Peak ground acceleration (PGA) is an important factor for analysis and design of building or related structure on top. This study was analyzed earthquake attenuation model of group Next Generation Attenuation Models (NGA) and Stable Continental Region. First group, the model was listed as Abrahamson and Silva (2008) and Idriss (2008). For the second group, the model was listed as Toro et al. (1997), Hwang and Huo (1997) and Dahle et al. (1995). Each model analysis was done by using the earthquake intensity that had happened according to the earthquake that detected from field measurement of 6.3 Richter scale on May 5th 2014. The epicenter was in Mae Lao district, Chiang Rai province in northern of Thailand. The result of this research was summarized by mean of peak ground acceleration (PGA) between the attenuation models and the field data measurement by checking the accuracy of each model.

This study was based on the hypothesis that Chiang Rai, officially called “Chiang Rai province,” at present becomes a border area because of the politically established border. This study adopted a historical approach, namely, a historically reconstructed landscape of Chiang Rai. It was found out that Chiang Rai was brought up from being the border area redesigning. The study was examined the development of the province’s basic historical structure in 4 stages as followed. Stage 1: Redesigning of Traditional State, Chiang Rai before the new Nation State taking place. Stage 2: Redesigning of Civilization, Chiang Rai under the new Nation State (the decade of 1880-1950).
