This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainforests and high mountain elevations. An updated checklist of aquatic plants, which includes 78 species in 44 genera from 24 families, are presented based on floristic works. This number includes seven species, that have never been listed in the previous floras and checklists. The species (excluding non-indigenous taxa) were categorized by five geographic groups with the exception of to reflect the rich diversity of the countries' floras.

Key to the cultural tourism business in Thailand is the ancient history that is to be found throughout the country in the form of monuments and artifacts. This research examines the management of these ancient monuments in the lower central part of the country. By studying problems with the management of cultural tourism, the researchers outline a suitable model to increase its efficiency. For the attractions to continue to provide prosperity for the nation, it is crucial that this model is implemented to create a lasting and continuous legacy for the cultural tourism business. Keywords: management, cultural tourism, ancient monuments, central Thailand, conservation, efficiency 1. Introduction Tourism is an industry that can generate significant income for the country and, for many years, tourists have been the largest source of income for Thailand when compared to other areas. -
Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities
Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities Charn Panarut A thesis submitted in fulfilment of The requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Social Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 Statement of Authorship This dissertation is the copyrighted work of the author, Charn Panarut, and the University of Sydney. This thesis has not been previously submitted for any degree or other objectives. I certify that this thesis contains no documents previously written or published by anyone except where due reference is referenced in the dissertation itself. i Abstract This thesis is a contribution to two bodies of scholarship: first, the historical understanding of the modernisation process in Siam, and in particular the role of sport in the gradual pacification of violent forms of behaviour; second, one of the central bodies of scholarship used to analyse sport sociologically, the work of Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning on sport and the civilising process. Previous studies of the emergence of a more civilised form of behaviour in modern Siam highlight the imitation of Western civilised conducts in political and sporting contexts, largely overlooking the continued role of violence in this change in Siamese behaviour from the pre- modern to modern periods. This thesis examines the historical evidence which shows that, from around the 1900s, Siamese elites engaged in deliberate projects to civilise prevalent non-elites’ aggressive conducts. This in turn has implications for the Eliasian understanding of sports and civilising process, which emphasises their unplanned development alongside political and economic changes in Europe, at the expense of grasping the deliberate interventions of the Siamese elites. -

The results showed that the water quality does not meet the quality standards of surface water category 3 of the PCD. Seasonal effect on the amount of cadmium in the water. Water temperatures, pH, nitrogen in nitrate, copper, manganese and zinc compounds were met category 3 of the PCD. According to the factors of land use, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, fecal coliform bacteria and total coliform bacteria did not meet the standard. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors.

INTEGRAL STUDY OF THE SILK ROADS ROADS OF DIALOGUE 21-22 JANUARY 1991. BANGKOK, THAILAND Document No. 15 Merchants, Merchandise, Markets: Archaeological Evidence in Thailand Concerning Maritime Trade Interaction Between Thailand and Other Countries Before the 16th A.D. Mrs. Amara Srisuchat 1 Merchants, Merchandise, Markets: Archaeological Evidence in Thailand Concerning Maritime Trade Interaction Between Thailand and Other Countries before the 16th A.D. Amara Srisuchat Abstract This article uses archeological evidence to indicate that humans on Thai soil had been engaged in maritime trade with other countries since prehistoric times. The inhabitants of settlements in this area already possessed a sophisticated culture and knowledge which made it possible for them to navigate sea-faring vessels, which took them on voyages and enabled them to establish outside contact before the arrival of navigators from abroad. Why then, were Thai sailors not well known to the outside world? This can partially be explained by the fact that they rarely travelled far from home as was the practice of Chinese and Arab soldiers. Furthermore, the availability of so wide a variety of resources in this region meant that there was little necessity to go so far afield in search of other, foreign commodities. Coastal settlements and ports were successfully developed to provide services, and markets were established with the local merchants who consequently become middlemen. Foreign technology was adapted to create industries which produced merchandises for export in accordance with the demand of the world market. At the same time, trading contacts with various countries had the effect of changing, to no small extent, the culture and society. -
