The Subdistrict Administrative Organizations of Tai Dong subdistrict, Wang Pong district, Phetchabun province and Khao Jed Look subdistrict, Tub Khlo district, Phichit province recently joined forces with the Public Health Offices in Wang Pong and Khao Jed Look, Health Promoting Hospitals in Wang Kradat Ngern, Dong Long, and Daan Chang, Subdistrict Administrative Organization members, representatives of local communities, and Akara Resources PCL officials to carry out a water quality survey from 35 local water sources around Chatree Mining Complex – including tap water, wells, artesian aquifers, pools, and canals. Water samples from these sources were collected and sent to the Research and Laboratory Development Center, Department of Health, Ministry of Public Health for analysis on February 5, 2015. The Center’s results show no trace of cyanide or arsenic contamination in local water sources despite previous concerns. “Akara would like to thank the Subdistrict Administrative Organization of Tai Dong, the Department of Health, the Ministry of Public Health, and other organizations for supporting us in the collection of water samples and acting as liaisons for community outreach purposes. The test results, based on the Ministry of Public Health’s stringent standards, will certainly relieve locals of any concerns regarding water consumption in everyday life.
  • 4. Counter-Memorial of the Royal Government of Thailand

    4. Counter-Memorial of the Royal Government of Thailand

    4. COUNTER-MEMORIAL OF THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF THAILAND I. The present dispute concerns the sovereignty over a portion of land on which the temple of Phra Viharn stands. ("PhraViharn", which is the Thai spelling of the name, is used throughout this pleading. "Preah Vihear" is the Cambodian spelling.) 2. According to the Application (par. I), ThaiIand has, since 1949, persisted in the occupation of a portion of Cambodian territory. This accusation is quite unjustified. As will be abundantly demon- strated in the follo~vingpages, the territory in question was Siamese before the Treaty of 1904,was Ieft to Siam by the Treaty and has continued to be considered and treated as such by Thailand without any protest on the part of France or Cambodia until 1949. 3. The Government of Cambodia alleges that its "right can be established from three points of rieivJ' (Application, par. 2). The first of these is said to be "the terms of the international conventions delimiting the frontier between Cambodia and Thailand". More particuIarly, Cambodia has stated in its Application (par. 4, p. 7) that a Treaty of 13th February, 1904 ". is fundamental for the purposes of the settlement of the present dispute". The Government of Thailand agrees that this Treaty is fundamental. It is therefore common ground between the parties that the basic issue before the Court is the appIication or interpretation of that Treaty. It defines the boundary in the area of the temple as the watershed in the Dangrek mountains. The true effect of the Treaty, as will be demonstratcd later, is to put the temple on the Thai side of the frontier.

    Chiang Rai Phayao Phrae Nan Phu Chi Fa Forest Park Contents Chiang Rai 8 Phayao 20 Phrae 26 Nan 32 Doi Tung Palace Located 5 kilometres north of Bangkok, Chiang Rai is the capital of Thailand’s northernmost province. At an average elevation of nearly 00 metres above sea level and covering an area of approximately 11,00 square kilometres, the province borders Myanmar to the north, and Lao PDR to the north and northeast. The area is largely mountainous, with peaks rising to 1,500 metres above sea level, and flowing between the hill ranges are several rivers, the most important being the Kok, near which the city of Chiang Rai is situated. In the far north of the province is the area known as the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and Ruak Rivers meet to form the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Lao PDR Inhabiting the highlands are hilltribes like the Akha, Lahu, Karen, and Hmong. The region boasts a long history with small kingdoms dat- ing back to the pre-Thai period, while the city of Chiang Rai was founded in 122 by King Mengrai. It was temporarily the capital of Mengrai’s Lanna Kingdom until being superseded by Chiang Mai. Today, Chiang Rai is a small, charming city that provides the perfect base for exploring the scenic and cultural attractions of Thailand’s far north. City Attractions King Mengrai Monument Commemorating the founder of Chiang Rai, the monument should be the first place to visit, since locals believe that respect should be paid to King Mengrai before travelling further.

WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Project Abstract The goal of this project was to provide recommendations to the Population and Community Development Association (PDA) in Mae Mo to develop a learning center about renewable energy and its applications. Communities of Mae Mo currently rely on conventional sources of energy to meet their needs. There is a gap in knowledge about the costs of conventional energy and benefits of renewable energy technologies. Using a community-based approach, we have developed recommendations to PDA regarding the development of a learning center to educate communities on using renewable energy to reduce their dependence on energy derived from fossil fuels. i Acknowledgements Our team would like to extend our thanks to the following people, institutions, and organizations for their support and guidance throughout the duration of this project.
