  • ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas
    PIMS 3771 THAILAND SCCF Project - Annexes ANNEX 1: Climate Risk Profile for Thailand and Project Target Areas Location &Climate of Thailand Thailand is located between 5°40’ and 20°30’ N latitudes and 97°20’ and 105°45’ E longitudes in South East Asia. The country borders Myanmar to the north and west, Laos to the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand can be divided into four major natural geographic regions: the mountainous north the arid northeast, comprised mainly by the Korat Plateau the fertile central plains, which include the Chao Phraya River Basin, and the southern peninsula. Thailand’s 2,600 km coastline runs mainly along the Gulf of Thailand (1,660km), with a shorter stretch of coast along the Andaman Sea (950km) on the western side of the southern peninsula. The Gulf of Thailand is relatively shallow and has an area of 30,400km², while the Andaman Sea is much larger and deeper. There are altogether 23 provinces (including Bangkok) along the two coasts, with most bordering the Gulf of Thailand, a few along the Andaman Sea, and a few with borders along both coasts. The proposed project focuses on Thailand’s narrow southern peninsula, which is flanked by the Gulf of Thailand to the east, the Andaman Sea to the west and Malaysia to the south. Thailand’s climate is classified as tropical savannah in the ‘mainland’ and tropical monsoon in the southern peninsula, which experiences a slightly different climate because of its geography and its close proximity to the sea. Across the country there are three main seasons; hot, wet and mild.

    Ergonomics International Journal ISSN: 2577-2953 Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDs) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Scoring Among Rubber Tappers Meksawi S1*, Tangtrakulwanich B2 and Chongsuvivatwong V3 Research Article 1Faculty of Health and Sport Science, Thaksin University, Thailand Volume 2 Issue 4 2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Physical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Prince Received Date: June 15, 2018 of Songkla University, Thailand Published Date: June 29, 2018 3Epidemiology Unit, Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand DOI: 10.23880/eoij-16000163 *Corresponding author: Supaporn Meksawi, Faculty of Health and Sport Science. Thaksin University, Phatthalung, Thailand, Email: [email protected] Abstract Due to a large population at risk of MSDs in the rubber tapping occupation, this study aimed to survey the MSD problems on different parts of rubber tappers’ bodies, and evaluate the RULA scoring system in terms of its pain prediction ability. 427 rubber tappers actively engaged in rubber tapping for at least 1 month, aged between 15-60 years, were recruited. Data were gathered using a questionnaire-based interview with an analog pain rating scale and a body discomfort chart. Video-based analysis of the various most common rubber tapping postures using the RULA method was also done. Factor analysis was used to group the correlated items of the RULA body part scores and pain scores from the relevant regions. Linear modeling was also performed to determine the ability of the various RULA factors to predict the associated pain scores. 52.9% of the rubber tappers reported current back pain, while pain at other bodily areas was uncommon (2.1%- 14.8%).

  • The Approach of Elections in Trang, South Thailand — Part I: Context and Competition
    ISSUE: 2019 No. 13 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 13 March 2019 The Approach of Elections in Trang, South Thailand — Part I: Context and Competition Michael J. Montesano* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Provincial voters will decide the outcome of Thailand’s 24 March elections, the first held since the country’s 2014 coup d’état. Provincial voters decide all of the country’s national elections. • While no Thai province is “typical” or “representative”, focused study at the level of a single province is crucial to understanding political dynamics in Thailand. • Even after a prolonged period of military dictatorship without an elected parliament, the Democrat Party is the de facto incumbent party in Trang Province, on the West Coast of South Thailand. • On the eve of the start of campaigning for the March 2019 polls, political actors and others in Trang acknowledged constraints on political activity and the apparent determination of the National Council for Peace and Order junta to tilt the outcome of the polls in favour of pro-military parties. • Notwithstanding this context, political actors and others in Trang looked forward to the coming elections as a meaningful, competitive exercise. * Coordinator, Thailand Studies Programme, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2019 No. 13 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION After nearly five years of military dictatorship, Thailand will go to the polls on 24 March 2019 in elections that will take place in a climate of political repression and under a constitution intended to foster a restrictive political order. Many observers have dismissed these elections as almost meaningless.

  • 1 Country Report for BOBLME Programme: THAILAND
    1 Country Report for BOBLME Programme: THAILAND Kungwan Juntarashote Department of Fishery Management Faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart University Bangkok 10903, THAILAND [email protected] 1. Introduction 1.1 Country Background Thailand is a typical tropical country, located between 200 and 60 North latitude, and between 970 and 1060 East longitude. The country is bordered on the northwest by the Myanmar, on the east by Laos and Cambodia, and on the south by Malaysia. The total area of Thailand is 513,115 km2, of which 31 per cent can be classified as mountainous areas (ASEAN, 1986). The large and varied interior of the country possesses rich aquatic resources. In addition, Thailand’s coast line of 1,875 km includes the northern and western reaches of the Gulf of Thailand, which are relatively shallow waters rich in marine life, and the southwestern coastline extending 740 km along the Andaman Sea. These comprise essential nursery grounds for juvenile marine and brackish-water organisms of significant economic importance, and offer good potential for coastal aquaculture development. The climate of Thailand is tropical, with an average high temperature of 32 0 C and low of 230 C. There are three overlapping seasons: the monsoon that lasts from July to October, after which it turns moderate to cool until February and warms up to sweltering heat until June. A large majority of the over 62.3 million citizens of Thailand are ethnic Thais, along with strong communities whose ethnic origins lie in China, India and elsewhere. About 5.7 million people are registered in the capital city of Bangkok.
