Devonian Radiolarian Faunas in Pai Area, Mae Hong Son Province, Northern Thailand: Paleogeographic Implication Original Devonian radiolarian faunas in Pai Area, Mae Hong Son Province, Northern Thailand: Paleogeographic implication Premvadee Sanjit1, Nutthawut Wonganan1, Yupa Thasod1* Received: 30 July 2013; Accepted: 15 October 2013 Abstract The Devonian radiolarian fauna from Ban Pang Paek of Pai district, Mae Hong Son province northern Thailand are examined. Twenty-one taxa in eight genera were classiŞ ed from grey to dark-grey pelagic bedded chert. There are 3 ages of fossils: The Middle-Late Devonian radiolarians are Trilonche dihelicis, Trilonche echinata (Hinde, 1899), Stigmosphaerostylus sp., and Astroentactinia sp. cf. A. multispinosa (Won, 1983). The Late Devonian radiolarians are Trilonche palimbola (Foreman, 1963), Trilonche altasulcata (Won, 1983), Trilonche australis (Aitchison, 1993), Trilonche sp. cf. T. hindea (Hinde, 1899), Triaenosphaera sp., Triaenosphaera spp., Polyentactinia polygonia (Foreman, 1963) Holoeciscus sp., and Pylentonema paiensis (Deş andre, 1963). The co-occurrence of Trilonche sp., Stigmosphaerostylus variospina (Won, 1983) and Archocyrtium sp. indicate an Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous in age.

  • Thailand's Progress on the Elimination of The
    Thailand’s Progress on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor: 2015 1) Prevalence and Sectoral Distribution of Child Labor 1.1 In what sectors or activities were children involved in hazardous activities or other worst forms of child labor? For all sectors, please describe the work activities undertaken by children. In particular, if children were engaged in forestry, manufacturing, construction, fishing, agriculture, and street work, please provide information on the specific activities (within the sector) children engage in. Please also explain the hazards for any sector in which the dangerous nature of the work activities may otherwise be unclear to the lay person (four further explanation, please HAZADOUS ACTIVITIES and WORST FORMS OF CHILD LABOR in the Definitions section). Answer: According to the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board Thailand witnessed a reduction in the population of children ages 0-17 years from the years 2010-2015. In 2015 there were roughly 14.48 million children between 0-17 years, a reduction compared to 15.42 million in 2010 and 14.86 million in 2013. On the other hand, Thailand found an increase in the number of students enrolled in the national education system, from 4.99 million students enrolled in 2000 up to 5.33 million students in 2013. These factors have contributed to a reduction of working children in the labor force. In this regard, the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare (DLPW) examined quarterly data of Thailand’s labor force status survey1. In the 3rd quarter of 2015, there were 38.77 million people in the labor force or available for work.

  • Cultural Bioregionalism: Towards a Natural Balance
    Page 1 of 6 CULTURAL BIOREGIONALISM: TOWARDS A NATURAL BALANCE For more than 20 years Chatchawan Thongdeelert has worked with village people, the monkhood, academics, business people and civil servants at the local level in Northern Thailand. Says Chatchawan, "The thinking and experience which is recounted below does not spring from the writer's experience alone, but rather from a process of practice and learning within the Northern Thai NGO movement in conjunction with movements in other regions of Thailand. " by Chatchawan Thongdeelert Between 1986 and 1988 Northern Thai NGOs cooperated in seminars bringing together leaders from each province in the upper North to exchange views and experience. It was hoped that a network of regional leaders would result. In fact, however, after such seminars had been held for three or four years, the result was that when leaders came together to exchange knowledge and understanding and came to know leaders from other regions better, there remained limitations in their ability to travel across provincial boundaries to continue 'follow up' discussions and activities. Discussions began about how a more sustainable network of leaders could be fostered. It was suggested that forums for leaders at a lower level should be encouraged on the basis of cultural bioregions. It was at this time that the Group for Chiang Mai was assembling local people, including academics, monks, business, NGOs, students, and ordinary locals in opposition to the construction of the Doi Suthep Skyway which would take tourists to the top of the mountain which overlooks the city to the west. The Group succeeded in stopping the project.

    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.
