In 2011, however, Thailand suffered a severe flood, and that means the country’s water management was not successful. Maetaeng watershed is another area that has been receiving a lot of funding to develop and solve the problem of water resources in the area continuously. Still, it was also found that the projects and budgets spent still cannot fix the problems of water resources in the area. This study aims to analyze the events, problems, and factors that can lead to the process development of integrated water resources management in Mae Taeng watershed area, Chiang Mai province. This qualitative study workshop was conducted by collecting basic information, setting a discussion panel for water users, and a workshop to brainstorm for the ideas of water management. The findings showed important factors positively affect the strength of the community, cooperation in water management of the community, and the sacrifices of strong community leaders. The negative impacts include the deforestation of certain ethnic groups, cultural diversity, a lack of awareness in the role of community leaders, as well as insufficient funding.

  • Consuming Alien Goods, Digesting Foreign Culture: Influence of Trade and Traders In
    Consuming alien goods, digesting foreign culture: Influence of trade and traders in northwestern Thailand Niti Pawakapan Early 1992 in Khun Yuam, a remote town in northwestern Thailand, there were three television channels (all broadcasted from Bangkok), a couple of public telephone booths and several private phones. Video players and facsimile machines were commonly found in individual homes. When I went back in 2001 the TV channels increased to five and the private phones were doubled. There were two new computer shops that provided internet service, whose customers were mainly local students, nurses, and district officials. Townspeople also used mobile hand-phones (two giant satellite dishes were built in the town to provide the service). Has the globalisation come to town? Will its force drive away the beauty and virtue of local culture (as some NGOs are worried)? But outside influence is no alien to the locals. Since the nineteenth century townspeople have seen outside traders, armed with foreign products, coming to the town. Goods were bought, sold and consumed. Traders also brought new languages, information, innovation and new style of consumption. The locals have learnt to live with new things and changes. And they have adapted well. This paper argues that globalisation should not be seen as inevitable mighty Western force upon local societies, but rather the complexity of local cultures responding to globalisation. For more than a hundred years outside influence and innovation have flowed to the town. In the past cross-border trade between Khun Yuam and the Burma’s Shan States was common. Not only goods from the Shan States but also their Tai culture were important to Khun Yuam.

They are better adapted to the climate and part of the cultural heritage of communities in these areas. However, they are at risk of loss of genetic diversity because of modern agriculture and globalisation. We evaluated genetic diversity within and between five native pig populations from four river basins (n = 49) based on 10 microsatellite markers including eight markers from the FAO/ISAG panel. All microsatellites exhibited high degrees of polymorphism and allelic diversity. The mean polymorphism information content and observed and expected heterozygosity values were 0.725, 0.624, and 0.759 respectively. Thai native pigs in Mae Hong Son province exhibited high diversity and phenotype variation.

Popularly known as “The Rose of the North” and with an en- chanting location on the banks of the Ping River, the city and its surroundings are blessed with stunning natural beauty and a uniquely indigenous cultural identity. Founded in 12 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai has had a long and mostly independent history, which has to a large extent preserved a most distinctive culture. This is witnessed both in the daily lives of the people, who maintain their own dialect, customs and cuisine, and in a host of ancient temples, fascinating for their northern Thai architectural Styles and rich decorative details. Chiang Mai also continues its renowned tradition as a handicraft centre, producing items in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more, which make the city the country’s top shopping destination for arts and crafts. Beyond the city, Chiang Mai province spreads over an area of 20,000 sq. km. offering some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole Kingdom. The fertile Ping River Valley, a patchwork of paddy fields, is surrounded by rolling hills and the province as a whole is one of forested mountains (including Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon), jungles and rivers. Here is the ideal terrain for adventure travel by trekking on elephant back, river rafting or four-wheel drive safaris in a natural wonderland.
