1. History of Karen in Thailand 1. History of Karen in Thailand The Karen is the first tribe that migrated into Thailand. The Karen is the largest tribe in numbers. They spread living 16 provinces, namely Chiangrai, Chiangmai, Maehongson, Lampang, Lamphoon, Phrae, Sukhothai, Tak, Kamphaengphet, Uthaithani, Suphanburi, Kanchanaburi, Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuapkhirikhan, and Ranong. The Karen is divided into four main groups based on their languages, cultures and walk of life. (Fine Arts Department 1991: 194-195) 1. "Sakauw" or "Pagageyauw" In the north, people call them "Yangkaw" "Yangdoi" "Yangkalur". In the central, people call them "Ga rang". They live on the mountains and can be mostly found in the north. 2. "Po" or "Pwo" They call themselves Phlow , Phlong , Pholuangchut. Thai people call them Yangpiang or Yangnamchut. Burmese people call them Kariangtaleng. They live along in the plains in the western region, especially in Saunphueng and Baanka Sub-district, Ratchaburi. 3. "Bawae" or "Bew" Northern people call them Yangdaeng. They mostly live in Kayah or Gareni State, Myanmar. In Thailand, they live in Tak, Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai. 4. "Tong Tu" Thai people call them “Tong Su”. The Burmese call them “Pa-ao”. They are mostly seen in Myanmar. They may be seen in Mae Hong Son, Thailand. Karen people’s original habitation was in the east of Tibet, and later immigrated to settle in China approximately over 3,000 years ago. In B.E. 207, the Karen were assailed by the king of Qin Dynasty, causing them to flee down along the Mekong River to the Salawin River in Myanmar and scattered living along the Ayeyarwady mountain ranges, the northernmost border of Myanmar from “Tong yee” to the southernmost, area of Kra Isthmus (Khokhodkra). The evidence showed that the Karen immigrated to settle in Thailand in 1775 (B.E. 2318) in the era of Prachao Alongpaya, the King of Myanmar, who made war with Mon people and conquered and took control of Hongsawadee. Because Karen people had a close relationship with Mon people, they supported Mon people in the war, which caused them in trouble too. As the result the Karen fled across Tanaosee mountain ranges and immigrated to Thai territory with Mon people. In the nine-troop war during the era of King Rama I the great (Phrabatsomdet Phraphuttayodfachula), the Karen from Sangkhaburi sent a message to the people in capital city to warn them to prepare for the war. The Karen and Thais had a long-standing relationship in the history of Thailand. The Karen had contributed significantly equally as Thais to protect the land of Siam and its resources. The Karen people play the important role in the fight against the Burmese. They were outpost troops, spies, and soldiers. They took the role instead of people of Lawa, which was a traditional ethnic group at the edge of the provinces of Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi, and Kanchanaburi. Mon and Karen people had professional expertise of the terrain, so they were supported since Krungthonburi until early Krungrattanakosin era. The anecdotes of the Karen in the central part of Thailand were referred to n many of Thai literatures such as Khun Chang Khun Plan, the royal writing of His majesty the King Rama II, Klaong Nirat Supanburi, the poetry by Suthorn Phu. It also appears in the murals in the chapel of Pratu Sarn Temple, Mueng District, Supanburi Province, in Bang Khae Yai Temple, Kwae Aom Sub-district, Ampawa District, Samutsongkhram Province, in Sai Areerak Temple, Klongtakhot Sub-district, Photharam District, Ratchaburi Province. It’s also seen in the pictures in wood carvings at Chaeng Chareon Temple, Wat Pleng District, Ratchaburi Province. Many of Karen people were appointed as the chiefs and the governors of cities in the west. For example, Phraya Pichaichanasongkram was the governor of Srisawat. (who took care of border station, the passage to Srisawat that the Burmese invaded Thailand through Saka River, Baantilaipa, Jakae, Tharai, Phisoengpong, Thungyaisesawo, Danmaechantha, Khliti since Ayutthaya period.) Luang Pratetkhuenkhan was the commander of Baan Bongtee Station. Luang Phitak Banpot and Khun Pitak Phraiwan were the commander of Baan Yangtong Station. And Phra Maeklong was the chief of the station taking care of the border city of Umphang Station connected to city of Kamphangphet and Uthai Thanee. Thai-Karen people living in Ratchaburi province are Plong and Pagageyo. They settled at the border near Tanaosee mountain ranges. People assumed that the Karen living in Ratchaburi, Phetchaburi, and Prachuapkhirikhan might have emigrated from Dawei in Myanmar. The old generation of Karen people living in Saun Phueng Sub-district had been relating for over 200 years that they were assailed by the Burmese. Since then, they migrated across the Tanaosee mountain ranges to Thailand through the border at Saiyok District, Kanchanaburi Province. And then, they scattered living in Ratchaburi at Ban Kao Karieng and Ban Nong Kao Karieng (nowadays called Nong Nokkarien). Later they moved to the west of Phachi River, and inhabited in Suan Phueng and Baan Kha District. The other group split to the south, and populated at the Phetburi headwaters. The Karen in Suan Phueng and Baan Kha scattered living in sub-district of Saun Phueng, Baan Bueng, Baan Kha, and Tanao Sri, and some in Yang Hak Sub-district in Pak Tho District. The Ratchaburi Karen people, period of Ratchaburi County, B.E. 2468 (A.D. 1925) Men putting a piece of cloth on their shoulder, and tying the other piece around the waist like the women did. In old time, The Karen musical instrument was a long Khan. Latter it was adjusted to be shorter like Isaan-Lao Khan. The Ratchaburi Phong people, period of Ratchaburi County, B.E. 2468 (A.D. 1925) Men and women carrying Ngo, bamboo container, to work in the field (photo book, Ratchaburi) .

  • Mon Affairs Union Representative: Nai Bee Htaw Monzel
    Mon Affairs Union Representative: Nai Bee Htaw Monzel Mr. Chairman or Madame Chairperson I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in the Forum. I am representative from the Mon Affairs Union. The Mon Affairs Union is the largest Mon political and social organization in Mon State. It was founded by Mon organizations both inside and outside Burma in 2008. Our main objective to restore self-determination rights for Mon people in Burma. Mon people is an ethnic group and live in lower Burma and central Thailand. They lost their sovereign kingdom, Hongsawatoi in 1757. Since then, they have never regained their self- determination rights. Due to lack of self-determination rights, Mon people are barred from decision making processes on social, political and economic policies. Mon State has rich natural resources. Since the Mon do not have self-determination rights, the Mon people don’t have rights to make decision on using these resources. Mon State has been ruled by Burmese military for many years. Burmese military government extracts these resources and sells to neighboring countries such as China and Thailand. For example, the government sold billions of dollars of natural gas from Mon areas to Thailand. Instead of investing the income earned from natural gas in Mon areas, the government bought billion dollars of arms from China and Russia to oppress Mon people. Due Burmese military occupation in Mon areas, livelihoods of Mon people economic life have also been destroyed. Since 1995, Burmese military presence in Mon areas was substantially increased. Before 1995, Burma Army had 10 battalions in Mon State.

In this study, we determined the high-depth and low-depth nuclear ge- nome sequences from a Funadomari Jomon female (F23) and male (F5), respectively. We genotyped the nuclear DNA of F23 and determined the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class-I genotypes and the phenotypic traits. Moreover, a pathogenic mutation in the CPT1A gene was identified in both F23 and F5. The mutation provides metabolic advantages for consumption of a high-fat diet, and its allele fre- quency is more than 70% in Arctic populations, but is absent elsewhere.

  • Content Analysis of Thai's Agricultural Volunteers Development From
    Submission 50 Content Analysis of Thai’s Agricultural Volunteers Development from Thesis and Research Chokthumrong Chongchorhor Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Kamphaeng Phet Rajabhat University 69 Tambon Nakhon Chum, Amphoe Mueang Kamphaeng Phet, Kamphaeng Phet 62000, Thailand. [email protected] KEYWORDS Agricultural volunteers development, success factors, content analysis 1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the economic and social mainstay of some 500 million smallholder farmers, and the sector is the largest source of incomes, jobs and food security in developing countries. The inherent complexity of agricultural systems and the different regional and country contexts can enable countries, policy makers and stakeholders to identify barriers that impede the growth of agriculture, experience sharing and strategies developing to improve the policy in local contexts. (World Bank, 2017) In Thailand, agriculture has played an important role in the country from the beginning. Although its sharing sector in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has gradually declined since the First National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP) was launched in 1961, agriculture still accounts for one third of total export revenue and workforce. Consequently, Thai agriculture is coming towards a crossroad. Its development can no longer depend on area expansion and burgeoning markets. Future development must be based on innovative technology and multidisciplinary fields (Chomchalow, 1993). This requires the participation of many sectors of society, especially farmers who are targeted and directly affected by the development policy. According to the Department of Agriculture Promotion report, the promotion of agricultural voluntary policy is important to community development practice. Therefore, the regulation of Thai agricultural volunteers’ management 2017 was issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives.

  • Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities
    Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities Charn Panarut A thesis submitted in fulfilment of The requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Social Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 Statement of Authorship This dissertation is the copyrighted work of the author, Charn Panarut, and the University of Sydney. This thesis has not been previously submitted for any degree or other objectives. I certify that this thesis contains no documents previously written or published by anyone except where due reference is referenced in the dissertation itself. i Abstract This thesis is a contribution to two bodies of scholarship: first, the historical understanding of the modernisation process in Siam, and in particular the role of sport in the gradual pacification of violent forms of behaviour; second, one of the central bodies of scholarship used to analyse sport sociologically, the work of Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning on sport and the civilising process. Previous studies of the emergence of a more civilised form of behaviour in modern Siam highlight the imitation of Western civilised conducts in political and sporting contexts, largely overlooking the continued role of violence in this change in Siamese behaviour from the pre- modern to modern periods. This thesis examines the historical evidence which shows that, from around the 1900s, Siamese elites engaged in deliberate projects to civilise prevalent non-elites’ aggressive conducts. This in turn has implications for the Eliasian understanding of sports and civilising process, which emphasises their unplanned development alongside political and economic changes in Europe, at the expense of grasping the deliberate interventions of the Siamese elites.

  • Collective Consciousness of Ethnic Groups in the Upper Central Region of Thailand
    Collective Consciousness of Ethnic Groups in the Upper Central Region of Thailand Chawitra Tantimala, Chandrakasem Rajabhat University, Thailand The Asian Conference on Psychology & the Behavioral Sciences 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This research aimed to study the memories of the past and the process of constructing collective consciousness of ethnicity in the upper central region of Thailand. The scope of the study has been included ethnic groups in 3 provinces: Lopburi, Chai-nat, and Singburi and 7 groups: Yuan, Mon, Phuan, Lao Vieng, Lao Khrang, Lao Ngaew, and Thai Beung. Qualitative methodology and ethnography approach were deployed on this study. Participant and non-participant observation and semi-structured interview for 7 leaders of each ethnic group were used to collect the data. According to the study, it has been found that these ethnic groups emigrated to Siam or Thailand currently in the late Ayutthaya period to the early Rattanakosin period. They aggregated and started to settle down along the major rivers in the upper central region of Thailand. They brought the traditional beliefs, values, and living style from the motherland; shared a sense of unified ethnicity in common, whereas they did not express to the other society, because once there was Thai-valued movement by the government. However, they continued to convey the wisdom of their ancestors to the younger generations through the stories from memory, way of life, rituals, plays and also the identity of each ethnic group’s fabric. While some groups blend well with the local Thai culture and became a contemporary cultural identity that has been remodeled from the profoundly varied nations.

  • The Mon Language Editmj
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 The Mon language:recipient and donor between Burmese and Thai Jenny, Mathias Abstract: Mon is spoken in south Myanmar and parts of central and northern Thailand and has been in intense contact with its neighboring languages for many centuries. While Mon was the culturally and politically dominant language in the first millennium, its role was reduced to a local minority language first in Thailand, later in Myanmar. The different contact situations in which the Mon languagehas been between Thailand and Myanmar has led to numerous instances of language change. The influence has not been one-way, with Mon on the receiving end only, but Mon was also the source of restructuring in Burmese and Thai. The present paper attempts to trace some of the contact induced changes in the three languages involved. It is not always clear which language was the source of shared vocabulary and constructions, but in many cases linguistic and historical facts can be adduced to find answers. While Mon language use in Thailand is diminishing fast and Mon in this country is undergoing restructuring according to Thai patterns, in Myanmar Mon is actually still exerting influence on Burmese, albeit mostly on a local level in varieties spoken in Mon and Karen States. The contact between genetically and typologically very different languages as is the case here leads in many cases to linguistically interesting outcomes.
