  • Eastern Seaboard Report
    Eastern Seaboard Report October 2014 – Prepared by Mark Bowling, Chairman ESB Thailand's bearish automotive market has deterred two Japanese car makers, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation and Nissan Motor, from commencing production of their new eco- car. "Our parent company has not yet approved the exact time frame for production, as the domestic market has experienced weaker growth than was enjoyed in 2012," said Masahiko Ueki, president and chief executive of Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand). "Next year's prospects are unpredictable, as the economy and consumption will take time to recover," he said. Mitsubishi was one of the five companies that applied for Board of Investment (BoI) promotion for the second phase of the eco-car scheme. All eco-car production will be done at Mitsubishi's third plant in Laem Chabang Industrial Estate in Chon Buri province. The government confirmed changes to its high-speed development plan, adding a Bangkok-Rayong route and splitting the Nong Khai-Map Ta Phut route into two — Nong Khai-Nakhon Ratchasima and Nakhon Ratchasima-Bangkok-Map Ta Phut. The Nong Khai- Map Ta Phut route would cover 737 kilometres and cost 393 billion baht, while the Chiang Khong-Phachi route would be 655 km and cost 349 billion. Two high-speed rail routes costing a combined 741 billion baht would link Thailand with southern China. Bang Na-Trat office demand up - With office rents in Bangkok's central business district rising by 15% last year and nearly 6% more so far this year, more companies are considering Bang Na-Trat Road an alternative due to its competitive rents and convenient access to both the CBD and the Eastern Seaboard.

  • An Inventory and Assessment of National Urban Mobility in Thailand
    Development of a National Urban Mobility Programme - an Inventory and Assessment of National Urban Mobility in Thailand A project of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with the Thai Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) Final Report November 2019 Development of a National Urban Mobility Programme Project Background Transport is the highest energy-consuming sector in 40% of all countries worldwide, and causes about a quarter of energy-related CO2 emissions. To limit global warming to two degrees, an extensive transformation and decarbonisation of transport is necessary. The TRANSfer project’s objective is to increase the efforts of developing countries and emerging economies for climate-friendly transport. The project acts as a mitigation action preparation facility and thus, specifically supports the implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) of the Paris Agreement. The project supports several countries (including Peru, Colombia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia) in developing greenhouse gas mitigation measures in transport. The TRANSfer project is implemented by GIZ and funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and operates on three levels.

  • Regression Analyses of Migration with an Application to Selected Provinces in Thailand
    Thailand Statistician January 2011; 9(1) : 1-20 http://statassoc.or.th Contributed paper Regression Analyses of Migration with an Application to Selected Provinces in Thailand Amonpun Makmeesup, Elvin J. Moore* and Utomporn Phalavonk Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Applied Science, King Monkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok, Bangkok 10800, Thailand. * Author for correspondence; e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: 6 April 2010 Accepted: 10 November 2010 Abstract Mathematical models of migration are developed that are suitable for describing migration in Thailand of people in four different occupation classes. Nine main types of human migration models and the data that they require are reviewed. However, data is available from the National Statistical Office of Thailand for only three of these models: Gravity, Expanded Gravity, and Neo-Classical/Labor Flow Models. The available Thai data does not fit any of these models in their original form. A linear regression analysis on logarithmically transformed data is carried out to find the variables that are most important for describing migration for provinces from four main regions: Central (Bangkok), North (Chiang Mai), North-East (Nakhon Ratchasima) and South (Songkhla). We analyze movement out from, and movement into, these four provinces for all other provinces for which data is available. The most important variables for moving out of Bangkok are unemployment (or labor force) in the destination province and distance to that province. For moving into Bangkok only labor force in the province of origin is important. For Chiang Mai, wage rate is the most important with distance being less important for moving out and cost of living or wage rate are the most important for moving in.

  • Native Burmese Pythons Exhibit Site Fidelity and Preference for Aquatic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Native Burmese pythons exhibit site fdelity and preference for aquatic habitats in an agricultural mosaic Samantha Nicole Smith1*, Max Dolton Jones1, Benjamin Michael Marshall1, Surachit Waengsothorn2, George A. Gale3 & Colin Thomas Strine1* Animal movement and resource use are tightly linked. Investigating these links to understand how animals use space and select habitats is especially relevant in areas afected by habitat fragmentation and agricultural conversion. We set out to explore the space use and habitat selection of Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in a heterogenous, agricultural landscape within the Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve, northeast Thailand. We used VHF telemetry to record the daily locations of seven Burmese pythons and created dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models to produce occurrence distributions and model movement extent and temporal patterns. To explore relationships between movement and habitat selection we used integrated step selection functions at both the individual and population level. Burmese pythons had a mean 99% occurrence distribution contour of 98.97 ha (range 9.05– 285.56 ha). Furthermore, our results indicated that Burmese pythons had low mean individual motion variance, indicating infrequent moves and long periods at a single location. In general, Burmese pythons restricted movement and selected aquatic habitats but did not avoid potentially dangerous land use types like human settlements. Although our sample is small, we suggest that Burmese pythons are capitalizing on human disturbed landscapes. Studying and understanding animal movement allows scientists insight into animal behavior1, revealing species’ natural and life histories such as migratory or movement patterns, breeding grounds and seasons, and foraging strategies2–4.
