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.

Risk Patterns of Lung Cancer Mortality in Northern Thailand
Rankantha et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:1138 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6025-1 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Risk patterns of lung cancer mortality in northern Thailand Apinut Rankantha1,2, Imjai Chitapanarux3,4,5, Donsuk Pongnikorn6, Sukon Prasitwattanaseree2, Walaithip Bunyatisai2, Patumrat Sripan3,4,5 and Patrinee Traisathit2,7* Abstract Background: Over the past decade, lung cancers have exhibited a disproportionately high mortality and increasing mortality trend in Thailand, especially in the northern region, and prevention strategies have consequently become more important in this region. Spatial analysis studies may be helpful in guiding any strategy put in place to respond to the risk of lung cancer mortality in specific areas. The aim of our study was to identify risk patterns for lung cancer mortality within the northern region of Thailand. Methods: In the spatial analysis, the relative risk (RR) was used as a measure of the risk of lung cancer mortality in 81 districts of northern Thailand between 2008 and 2017. The RR was estimated according to the Besag-York-Mollié autoregressive spatial model performed using the OpenBUGS routine in the R statistical software package. We presented the overall and gender specific lung cancer mortality risk patterns of the region using the Quantum Geographic Information System. Results: The overall risk of lung cancer mortality was the highest in the west of northern Thailand, especially in the Hang Dong, Doi Lo, and San Pa Tong districts. For both genders, the risk patterns of lung cancer mortality indicated a high risk in the west of northern Thailand, with females being at a higher risk than males.

Cultural Bioregionalism: Towards a Natural Balance
Page 1 of 6 CULTURAL BIOREGIONALISM: TOWARDS A NATURAL BALANCE For more than 20 years Chatchawan Thongdeelert has worked with village people, the monkhood, academics, business people and civil servants at the local level in Northern Thailand. Says Chatchawan, "The thinking and experience which is recounted below does not spring from the writer's experience alone, but rather from a process of practice and learning within the Northern Thai NGO movement in conjunction with movements in other regions of Thailand. " by Chatchawan Thongdeelert Between 1986 and 1988 Northern Thai NGOs cooperated in seminars bringing together leaders from each province in the upper North to exchange views and experience. It was hoped that a network of regional leaders would result. In fact, however, after such seminars had been held for three or four years, the result was that when leaders came together to exchange knowledge and understanding and came to know leaders from other regions better, there remained limitations in their ability to travel across provincial boundaries to continue 'follow up' discussions and activities. Discussions began about how a more sustainable network of leaders could be fostered. It was suggested that forums for leaders at a lower level should be encouraged on the basis of cultural bioregions. It was at this time that the Group for Chiang Mai was assembling local people, including academics, monks, business, NGOs, students, and ordinary locals in opposition to the construction of the Doi Suthep Skyway which would take tourists to the top of the mountain which overlooks the city to the west. The Group succeeded in stopping the project.

3 History of Thailand in Brief in Order to Understand the Culture of a State, It Is Necessary to Trace Back Different Eras of the History of That State
3 History of Thailand in Brief In order to understand the culture of a state, it is necessary to trace back different eras of the history of that state. The history of Thailand begins 5,000 years ago; the ancestors of today’s Thai people lived in southern China areas. Through various migration streams they worked their way south to Thailand, Burma and Laos. They entered the Southeast Asian peninsular, today’s Thailand at Chiang Saen, on the southern banks of Mekong River. It was the migrants from southern China who formed the first city states in the northern regions of present day Thailand.32 3.1 The Origin of Thai People and Historical Development According to Noppawan Sirivejkul33 the Thai historical development may be divided into 9 eras which can be briefly summarized as follows: Table 15: Division of Thai Historical Eras Era or Kingdom Century A.D. Important Development 1. Funan Kingdom 1st – 6th 43 B.C.- 557 A.D. Mekong Basin Settlement 2. Dvaravati Kingdom 6th – 11th 557 - 1057 Influence of Indian Culture 3.

Northern Thailand
© Lonely Planet Publications 339 Northern Thailand The first true Thai kingdoms arose in northern Thailand, endowing this region with a rich cultural heritage. Whether at the sleepy town of Lamphun or the famed ruins of Sukhothai, the ancient origins of Thai art and culture can still be seen. A distinct Thai culture thrives in northern Thailand. The northerners are very proud of their local customs, considering their ways to be part of Thailand’s ‘original’ tradition. Look for symbols displayed by northern Thais to express cultural solidarity: kàlae (carved wooden ‘X’ motifs) on house gables and the ubiquitous sêua mâw hâwm (indigo-dyed rice-farmer’s shirt). The north is also the home of Thailand’s hill tribes, each with their own unique way of life. The region’s diverse mix of ethnic groups range from Karen and Shan to Akha and Yunnanese. The scenic beauty of the north has been fairly well preserved and has more natural for- est cover than any other region in Thailand. It is threaded with majestic rivers, dotted with waterfalls, and breathtaking mountains frame almost every view. The provinces in this chapter have a plethora of natural, cultural and architectural riches. Enjoy one of the most beautiful Lanna temples in Lampang Province. Explore the impressive trekking opportunities and the quiet Mekong river towns of Chiang Rai Province. The exciting hairpin bends and stunning scenery of Mae Hong Son Province make it a popular choice for trekking, river and motorcycle trips. Home to many Burmese refugees, Mae Sot in Tak Province is a fascinating frontier town.

OZEA has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Richard B. McGinn Associate Professor Emeritus of Linguistics Gene Ammarell Director, Southeast Asian Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT OZEA, MATTHEW J., M.A., August 2008, Southeast Asian Studies Thai Literature at the Crossroads of Modernity: Advancing a Critique of Neo-liberal Development through the Writings of Khamsing Srinawk and Chart Korbjitti (132 pp.) Director of Thesis: Richard B. McGinn Throughout its modern history, Thailand has experienced incredible change, resulting in a marked tension between traditional values and those of the “modern” world. During this turbulent process of modernization, new social groups emerged to challenge both the status quo and military regimes. This thesis analyzes how two noted literary figures from these socially conscious groups, Khamsing Srinawk and Chart Korbjitti, critique their rapidly changing society, and how their works underscore a sense of increasing futility and powerlessness as the old world of custom and extended families comes into contact with the new world of materialism and competitive individualism. The writings of Khamsing and Chart function on two distinct yet interrelated levels.

Telephone: (662) 579-8599; Facsimile: (662) 940-6371; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii causes Stewart’s bacterial wilt and leaf blight of sweet corn and maize, a bacterial disease that is responsible for serious crop losses. The disease is spread by the corn flea beetle Chaetocnema pulicularia, but can be seed transmitted at a very low frequency . However, the potential risk of seed transmission is considered so important in international shipment of corn seed that more than 50 countries ban its import unless it is certified to be free of P. stewartii subsp. stewartii. Thailand is the important corn seed production in Southeast Asia. Every year Thailand import corn seed to use in seed production industry, it makes a high risk of bacterial disease enter through the farming systems in the country. Therefore, it is necessary to survey, monitoring and surveillance to the scientific information in preparing the list of pests, pest risk analysis and the pest- free area. From

Contesting Rights Over Land: a Case Study of Landless Farmers' Social
A paper for Politics of the Commons: Articulating Development and Strengthening Local Practices, Chiang Mai, Thailand, July 11-14, 2003 Contesting Rights over Land: A Case Study of Landless Farmers’ Social Movement in Lamphun Province By Yuki Miyake Chiang Mai University Introduction In the past few decades, due to the intervention of the state and the market, more and more local people's struggles over access to resources, and related resistance have become the public in the 'Third World' (Robles 2001, Moore 1994, Kerkvliet 1993, Vandergeest 1993). Today’s landless farmers' movement over land and rights in Lamphun province, northern Thailand, is one of these. How the hegemonic ideology and structure is constructed in the northern Thailand in a way that leads to local farmers’ struggles, and how ideologically subordinate people respond to such hegemony through social movements is the subject of this study (Escober 1995 and 1984, Scott 1985, Gramsci 1974). By forming a social movement as their own discourse, the farmers contest the dominant discourse and claim their own ideas and values. I call these claims and actions by subordinate people against the dominant groups 'contestation.' In this paper, I would like to examine how landless farmers form their discourse and contest rights over land by combining a political ecology approach in a macro perspective with an ethnographic approach in a micro perspective. In the past, when land was abundant in Thailand, land did not have so much value and labor was considered more important than land under the tributary system (Kemp 1981, Vandergeest and Peluso 1995). However, since the Western ideas of nation-state sovereignty, of a legal system, and of market oriented structure were brought from the West at the end of nineteenth century, the situation has completely changed.

Murphy The mid-first millennium CE represents a crucial period in the emergence of early polities in Southeast Asia. However, disagreement remains between archaeologists and art historians as to the precise dating of this shift from prehistory to history. This article focuses on the Dvāravatī period and re-evaluates evidence in Thai and Western language publications. A growing number of sites excavated over the past two decades in particular show occupation from c. the fourth to fifth century onwards while others provide a continual sequence stretching back well into the Iron Age. I argue that evidence from these sites makes a strong case for postulating a proto- Dvāravatī period spanning c. the fourth to fifth centuries. In doing so this article proposes this period as the timeframe within which the nascent traits and characteristics of what becomes Dvāravatī in the seventh to ninth centuries are present and gradually developing. The transition from prehistory to history in Mainland Southeast Asia has been a central issue of scholarship ever since the first attempts to explain the origins of its ‘classical states’ over a century ago. Ideas based around the ‘Indianisation’ paradigm saw this transition as happening over a short period of time based almost exclusively on external influences.
