At its peak in 1981, CCSDPT membership included 52 agencies serving refugees from Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, Currently membership is 13 and activities are currently focused on refugees from Burma. Every Member of CCSDPT nominates its representative to the Directors Forum. The Forum elects a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson for a year term. The CCSDPT Secretariat, the Executive Coordinator and the Administrative Officer, support the coordination of Member agencies efforts and assist in representing the membership’s interests to the Royal Thai Government, international organizations and embassies. CCSDPT Open meetings are held on twice a year and are attended by organisations involved or interested in the work of CCSDPT including Member and non-Member NGOs, International Organizations, Embassies etc. The CCSDPT Open Meeting serves as a forum to share information on the current refugee situation. CCSDPT is funded by subscriptions from Members and contributions from international organizations.

    Original Research Article S203 ASSESSMENT OF HIV/AIDS PREVENTIVE PRACTICE AMONG MYANMAR FEMALE SEX WORKERS IN MAE SOT DISTRICT, TAK PROVINCE, THAILAND Napapan Der Kinderen*, Tepanata Pumpaibool College of Public Health Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, 10330, Thailand ABSTRACT: Background: Myanmar female sex workers (MFSW) in Mae Sot district, Tak province, Thailand are seriously at risk of HIV/AIDS infection and transmission due to their profession and their migration status. They hardly access and/or being accessed to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment services by health service providers both non-government organizations (NGOs) and government agencies since they are “hard-to-reach population”. Methods: This study was conducted for assessing HIV/AIDS preventive practice among MFSW in Mae Sot district. A structured interview questionnaire was used to collect the data from 120 Myanmar female sex workers, aged 18 years old and above who worked in different prostitution businesses in Mae Sot during 21 October-4 November 2016. Results: More than half (57%) of MFSW were unregistered migrant workers. More than 60% of them had regular partners, including husbands/spouses, boyfriends or lovers, and15% of them also had both husband and boyfriend at the same time. Crucially, only 37% of them revealed that their regular partners knew about their prostitution works. A significant barrier to accessing HIV blood testing was the fear of arrest by the police officers which was about 40%. For HIV/AIDS preventive practice, the majority or 60% of MFSW had moderate level while 22% and 18% of them had good preventive practice and poor preventive practice, respectively. Conclusion: MFSW respondents had a moderate level of practice towards HIV/AIDS prevention and numbers of MFSW also have many regular partners.

  • Mediator and Facilitators of Social Justice for Transnational Laborers in the Thai-Burmese Borderland of Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand
    Asian Social Science; Vol. 10, No. 6; 2014 ISSN 1911-2017 E-ISSN 1911-2025 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education “Flowers of the Dawn”: Mediator and Facilitators of Social Justice for Transnational Laborers in the Thai-Burmese Borderland of Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand Kettawa Boonprakarn1, Jedsarid Sangkaphan2, Benjaporn Deekhuntod3 & Nuntharat Suriyo3 1 Faculty of Liberal Arts, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, Thailand 2 Graduate School, Hatyai University, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province, Thailand 3 Freelance Researcher, Thailand Correspondence: Kettawa Boonprakarn, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai District, Songkhla Province 90110, Thailand. E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 2, 2013 Accepted: January 17, 2014 Online Published: February 26, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n6p7 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n6p7 Abstract “Flowers of the Dawn” is a group of transnational laborers who are successful in helping their fellow laborers in a wide range of problems. The group understands problems better, is more trustworthy, and more able to solve problems than other groups that also help laborers. The influx of “cheap labor” and “illegal laborers” has caused chronic problems for Thai society and the laborers themselves at the individual, local and national levels. The problems have not been seriously addressed and the laborers themselves have become “the problems” that cause many difficulties in racial bias which in turn leads to inappropriate solutions to the problems and hence the real causes of the problems have not been overlooked. “Flowers of the Dawn” is a group of mediators and facilitators of social justice that targets transnational laborers fleeing from Myanmar and those who have been in Mae Sot and nearby areas.

    Decentralization, Empowerment and Tourism Development:Pai Title Town in Mae Hong Son, Thailand Author(s) LORTANAVANIT, Duangjai Citation 東南アジア研究 (2009), 47(2): 150-179 Issue Date 2009-09-30 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/108385 Right Type Journal Article Textversion publisher Kyoto University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 47, No. 2, September 2009 Decentralization, Empowerment and Tourism Development: Pai Town in Mae Hong Son, Thailand Duangjai LORTANAVANIT* Abstract In the once-remote valley of Pai in Mae Hong Son Province in northwestern Thailand, tourism has been a powerful force shaping dramatic changes. However, tourism is a complex subject involving a range of actors and actions both within and outside the valley. It has occurred simultaneously with other trans- formational processes in Thai society. This paper focuses on Viengtai, the market and administrative center of Pai District, drawing on observations made from 1997 to the present, including dissertation field work in 2005 and 2006. This study seeks to describe and interpret processes and practices at work in Pai, where a range of social actors compete and negotiate over resources and notions of culture and locality, with an emphasis on political decentralization. It will describe the interaction between actors in resource management for tourism development in Pai from the 1980s to the present. It describes the distinct fea- tures of the negotiations and conflicts regarding resources and notions of culture and locality among local communities, entrepreneurs, tourists, NGOs, and state and local administration in the era of political decentralization in Thailand. Keywords: community tourism, empowerment, decentralization I Introduction Tourism is a leading foreign exchange earner of the Thai economy, and has been the focus of investment, state policy and media attention in recent decades.

Prevalence of High Urinary Cadmium Levels in the Adults Witaya Swaddiwudhipong MD, MSc*, Pisit Limpatanachote MD**, Pranee Mahasakpan BSc, MPH*, Somyot Krintratun MD**, Chantana Padungtod MD, DrPH*** * Department of Community and Social Medicine, Mae Sot General Hospital ** Department of Internal Medicine, Mae Sot General Hospital *** Bureau of Occupational and Environmental Diseases, Ministry of Public Health Background: In Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand, the paddy fields receiving irrigation from the two creeks and crops grown in the areas were found to contain markedly elevated cadmium levels during the surveys in 2001-2004. Objective: The present report carried out a survey in 2004 to determine urinary cadmium, a good index of excessive cadmium exposure and body burden, among the exposed residents aged 15 years and older in these contaminated areas. Material and Method: Morning urine samples were collected from the subjects and then kept frozen until cadmium analysis. Urinary cadmium was determined using the atomic absorption spectrometry and urinary creatinine was determined using a method of reaction with picric acid at alkaline pH and colorimetry. Results: Of the 7,697 persons surveyed, only 45.6% had urinary cadmium levels < 2 µg/g creatinine. About 4.9% were between 5 and 10 µg/g creatinine and 2.3% had cadmium concentrations > 10. The urinary cadmium level was greater among women than men and increased with increasing age. Smokers were more likely to have high urinary cadmium than non-smokers. Persons who mainly consumed rice grown locally in the contaminated areas had higher urinary cadmium than those who did not.
