Popularly known as “The Rose of the North” and with an en- chanting location on the banks of the Ping River, the city and its surroundings are blessed with stunning natural beauty and a uniquely indigenous cultural identity. Founded in 12 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai has had a long and mostly independent history, which has to a large extent preserved a most distinctive culture. This is witnessed both in the daily lives of the people, who maintain their own dialect, customs and cuisine, and in a host of ancient temples, fascinating for their northern Thai architectural Styles and rich decorative details. Chiang Mai also continues its renowned tradition as a handicraft centre, producing items in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more, which make the city the country’s top shopping destination for arts and crafts. Beyond the city, Chiang Mai province spreads over an area of 20,000 sq. km. offering some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole Kingdom. The fertile Ping River Valley, a patchwork of paddy fields, is surrounded by rolling hills and the province as a whole is one of forested mountains (including Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon), jungles and rivers.

Course Process Part 1 Part 4 Bangkok Pattaya Part 2 Part 5 Kanchanaburi Rayong Part 3 Part 6 Hua Hin Trat ( Koh Chang ) BANGKOK Bangkok (Krungthep) which means “The City of Angels”, is known as the most vibrant city in South East Asia. It is ranked as No. 1 City of the World according to MasterCard’s latest Global Destination cities Survey. Bangkok welcomes more visitors than any other city in the world and it doesn’t take long to realise why this is a city of extremes with action on every corner: Marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a tuktuk along the bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat through floating markets. Food is another Bangkok highlight with local dishes served at humble street stalls to haute cuisine at romantic rooftop restaurants. Luxury malls compete with a sea of boutiques and markets where you can treat yourself without over spending. Extravagant five-star hotels and surprisingly cheap but good hotels welcome you with the same famed Thai hospitality. And visit to Bangkok would not be complete without a glimpse of its famous nightlife – from cabarets to exotic nightlife districts, Bangkok never ceases to amaze.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.

    AN EXAMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF ISLAM ON HOSPITALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS IN THE MEETINGS, INCENTIVES, CONVENTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS (MICE) INDUSTRY IN SOUTHERN THAILAND SONGSIN TEERAKUNPISUT DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My PhD study is a life-changing journey. Completing this commitment could not have been possible without a number of supporters. Although I am not able to address all of their names, it is my pleasure to give my gratitude to some key people who made my doctoral life so meaningful and memorable. First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the mentorship and the intellectual guidance of my principal supervisor, Dr. Julie Jie Wen, who not only walked side-by-side with me through this academic endeavour, but also has been very helpful in giving ideas and comments to ensure that I have delivered good work. Together with my two respectful co-supervisors, Dr. Amie Matthews and Dr. Felicity Picken, who both provided an enormous amount of guidance and advice that was beyond the call of duty until the day of thesis submission. I definitely would not have produced this project without the support and encouragement of my three amazing supervisors. Appreciation is further given to a number of people who offered help during my field study in three provinces in Southern Thailand. They have played a special role in advising me for data collection. I am eternally indebted to all of my participants, both MICE staff and customers in three venues, who shared their personal experiences. Without their contribution to this project with invaluable time and open conversations, this dissertation would never have been accomplished.
