  • Lisu Identity in Northern Thailand: a Problematique for Anthropology Yves Conrad
    Lisu Identity in Northern Thailand: A Problematique for Anthropology Yves Conrad This paper presents a contemporary case study of the problematique of ethnie identification and identity in the multi­ ethnie context of the highlands of north Thailand. Sorne of the theoretical and methodological issues explored here were first raised a few decades ago by Leach in his study of the Kachin. Since then a handful of scholars have made significant contribu­ tions to our understanding ofwhat is a difficult and controversial matter. Here 1will attempt a brief and balanced synthesis of the main ideas and suggestions concerning the definition and use of ethnicity in an "ethnically" heterogeneous society. Because sorne of the "same" ethnie groups are represented in Burma, South-West China and Thailand, my discussion will rest on the literature dealing with this region. With this outline in mind and with reference to both my own fieldwork and existing literature 1will explore the question of Lisu identity in Northern Thailand. Tbe Root of tbe Problem The following considerations stem from a basie empirical fact: the readily noticeable cultural diversity of the peoples in- 191 PROBLEMS habiting the mountainous border area between Thailand and Burma. Apart from Thai and Chinese highlanders, six main "hill tribes" live in the uplands and are distinguished from each other by language, dress, customs, rituals and beliefs, art forms and economie and social organization. An inventory of their distinctive characteristies can be found in the compilation of Lebar, Hickeyand Musgrave'sEthnie Groups in mainland Southeast of Asia (1964). A remarkable photographie illustration of the cultural distinctiveness of sorne of these groups is also provided in Paul and Elaine Lewis's Peo­ pIes of the Golden Triangle (1984) Sorne authors, going beyond the conventional diehotomy between lowland and highland societies and cultures, have as­ sociated the various groups with distinct ecologieal niehes and subsistence systems.

  • • Ceramics from Muang Phan, Chiang Rai Province
    CERAMICS FROM MUANG PHAN, CHIANG RAI PROVINCE by John N. Miksic* The ceramic tradition of northern Thailand bas been a subject of interest to art historians and archeologists, among others, for some time. The development of ceramic technology and products, including high-fired stonewares, is closely linked to the political development of the northern Thai states. The warfare and unstable economic conditions of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries A.D., consequent on • the struggles among several Thai kingdoms, are clearly correlated with the end of ceramic manufacture at the Sawankhalok and Sukbothai kilns. A number of kilns in the provinces of Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Lampang seem to have been built at that time, perhaps by potters who were seeking refuge from Ayutthayan invaders (Kraisri 1960: 18)2• Eventually it may be possible to write a comprehensive analysis of the development of Thai ceramics before and after the decline of Sukhothai influence in the late fourteenth ceo tury. It may be assumed that the political events of the time played nearly as important a role in shaping ceramic development as did the hands of the potters themselves.

    Chiang Mai Lampang Lamphun Mae Hong Son Contents Chiang Mai 8 Lampang 26 Lamphun 34 Mae Hong Son 40 View Point in Mae Hong Son Located some 00 km. from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is the principal city of northern Thailand and capital of the province of the same name. 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. Here is the ideal terrain for adventure travel by trekking on elephant back, river rafting or four-wheel drive safaris in a natural wonderland.

  • Freshwater Snail Diversity in Mae Lao Agricultural Basin (Chiang Rai, Thailand) with a Focus on Larval Trematode Infections
    ISSN (Print) 0023-4001 ISSN (Online) 1738-0006 Korean J Parasitol Vol. 56, No. 3: 247-257, June 2018 ▣ ORIGINAL ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3347/kjp.2018.56.3.247 Freshwater Snail Diversity in Mae Lao Agricultural Basin (Chiang Rai, Thailand) with a Focus on Larval Trematode Infections Kittichai Chantima*, Krittawit Suk-ueng, Mintra Kampan Energy and Environment Program, Faculty of Science and Technology, Chiang Rai Rajabhat University, Chiang Rai 57100, Thailand Abstract: The aim of this study was to conduct a freshwater snail survey in Mae Lao agricultural basin to assess the di- versity with a focus on habitat types and their larval trematode infections. Snails were collected and examined in 14 sites of Mae Lao agricultural basin from August 2016 to October 2017. A total of 1,688 snail individuals were collected and classified into 7 families, 8 genera, and 12 species. Snail diversity and habitat types were higher in rice paddies than irri- gation canals and streams. The most abundant species was Bithynia siamensis siamensis, representing 54.6% of the sample. Three species of snails act as first intermediate host were found with cercarial infections. They were Filopaludina sumatrensis polygramma, B. s. siamensis, and Melanoides tuberculata. The cercariae were categorized into 7 types; echi- nostome, monostome, gymnocephalous, virgulate, parapleurolophocercous, pleurolophocercous and megalurous cer- cariae. Parapleurolophocercous cercariae constituted the most common type of cercariae recovered, contributing 41.2% of all infections in snails. Echinostome metacercariae infections were found in 6 snail species with 7.6% prevalence. In addition, the metacercaria of avian trematode, Thapariella sp. were found in Filopaludina spp.

  • Smallholders and Forest Landscape Restoration in Upland Northern Thailand
    102 International Forestry Review Vol.19(S4), 2017 Smallholders and forest landscape restoration in upland northern Thailand A. VIRAPONGSEa,b aMiddle Path EcoSolutions, Boulder, CO 80301, USA bThe Ronin Institute, Montclair, NJ 07043, USA Email: [email protected] SUMMARY Forest landscape restoration (FLR) considers forests as integrated social, environmental and economic landscapes, and emphasizes the produc- tion of multiple benefits from forests and participatory engagement of stakeholders in FLR planning and implementation. To help inform application of the FLR approach in upland northern Thailand, this study reviews the political and historical context of forest and land manage- ment, and the role of smallholders in forest landscape management and restoration in upland northern Thailand. Data were collected through a literature review, interviews with 26 key stakeholders, and three case studies. Overall, Thai policies on socioeconomics, forests, land use, and agriculture are designed to minimize smallholders’ impact on natural resources, although more participatory processes for land and forest management (e.g. community forests) have been gaining some traction. To enhance the potential for FLR success, collaboration processes among upland forest stakeholders (government, NGOs, industry, ethnic minority smallholders, lowland smallholders) must be advanced, such as through innovative communication strategies, integration of knowledge systems, and most importantly, by recognizing smallholders as legitimate users of upland forests. Keywords: North Thailand, smallholders, forest management, upland, land use Politique forestière et utilisation de la terre par petits exploitants dans les terres hautes de la Thaïlande du nord A. VIRAPONGSE Cette étude cherche à comprendre le contexte politique de la gestion forestière dans les terres hautes de la Thaïlande du nord, et l’expérience qu’ont les petits exploitants de ces politiques.

The article is part of the research results on the beliefs around Naga in Nongkhai province, Thailand. The research aimed to study the history of the belief in Naga, and the area in Nongkhai province where the belief is still prominent, through non-participatory observation, non-structured interviews, and the study of the related documents and research. The study revealed the Nongkhai people have been passing down the myth and the belief of Naga, through storytelling from their ancestors to the current generation, as a way to maintain their faith in Buddhism and to draw the connection between the belief and their settlements. Currently, the myth is being passed on to the tourists who show an interest in knowing more about the tradition and culture. The "Naga fireballs" phenomenon, which had become a majestic festival that reflects the identity of the children of the City of Nagas, is also being passed on this way.
