Evaluation of Mangrove Restoration Program in Bangkaew Sub-district, Samutsongkram, Thailand Monthon Ganmanee*, Chayanid Meepoka and Wanlada Klangnurak Department of Animal Production Technology and Fisheries, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok 10520 Thailand Mangrove ecosystem in Thailand has been declined since the past century mainly due to mangrove land conversion to aquaculture, agriculture, and urbanized area. Recently, many of mangrove restoration projects have been carried out with aim to increase extent of mangrove forests and return these areas into functioning ecosystems again. In September 2013, mangrove restoration project was implemented in Bangkaew sub-district, Samut Sakorn Province, Thailand. Ten thousand of Rhizophora mucronata propagules and saplings were hand planted by volunteers and local community people in 10 rai (5 acre) mudflat in September 28, 2013. One year monitoring program on the restoration project was done. Results showed that the survivorship of the seeding is approximately 9.8%, with the average height and width of 78.35 ± 2.33 cm and14.40 ± 1.24 cm, respectively. A total of 33 species of macrobenthos, dominated by mollusk in genus Tellina, Cerithedea and polychaetes with the average abundance of 407 individual/m2. This finding suggested that the restoration area was able to generate an ecological food web by increasing abundance, species richness and diversity of macrobenthos which was higher than the adjacent mudflat. However, diversity of the macrobenthos was not difference when compared with the other restoration area that planted mangrove seed 1 year prior to this project. The quality of seed and propagule of Rhizophora as well as damages caused by litters and water hyacinth, propagule predation by crabs, infestations of barnacles settling on the seedlings were the main contributors to the high mortality rate of mangrove trees.

The Cross Thai-Cambodian Border's Commerce Between 1863
ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics September-December 2017 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Volume 3, Issue 3 The Cross Thai-Cambodian Border’s Commerce Between 1863 -1953 from the View of French’s Documents Nathaporn Thaijongrak, Ph.D Lecturer of Department of History, Faculty of Social Sciences, Srinakharinwirot University Abstract The purpose of this research aims to study and collect data with detailed information of the cross Thai- Cambodian border’s commerce in the past from French’s documents and to provide information as a guideline for potential development of Thai-Cambodian Border Trade. The method used in this research is the qualitative research. The research instrument used historical methods by collecting information from primary and secondary sources, then to analysis process. The research discovered the pattern of trade between Cambodia and Siam that started to be affected when borders were established. Since Cambodia was under French’s rule as one of French’s nation, France tried to delimit and demarcate the boundary lines which divided the community that once cohabitated into a community under new nation state. In each area, traditions, rules and laws are different, but people lived along the border continued to bring their goods to exchange for their livings. This habit is still continuing, even the living communities are divided into different countries. For such reason, it was the source of "Border trade” in western concept. The Thai-Cambodian border’s trade during that period under the French protectorate of Cambodia was effected because of the rules and law which illustrated the sovereignty of the land.

An Analysis of the Role of Civil Society in Building Peace in Ethno-religious Conflict: A Case Study of the Three Southernmost Provinces of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science and Public Policy at The University of Waikato by KAYANEE CHOR BOONPUNTH 2015 ii Abstract The ‘Southern Fire’ is an ethno-religious conflict in the southernmost region of Thailand that has claimed thousands of innocent lives since an upsurge in violence in 2004. Although it does not catch the world’s attention as much as other conflict cases in the same region, daily violent incidents are ongoing for more than a decade. The violence in the south has multiple causes including historical concerns, economic marginalisation, political and social issues, religious and cultural differences, educational opportunity inequities, and judicial discrimination.

Nai Soot, Nai Kluen, and Amdaeng Ploi grabbed their weapons and rushed outside. Four robbers were after their water buffaloes, their most valuable possessions. They defended their animals in the darkness, but Nai Soot was stabbed and killed in the fighting, and Amdaeng Ploi was wounded twice on her arm. Nai Kluen, however, managed to recognize four local toughs among the robbers.

Bangkok's Population and the Ministry of the Capital in Early 20Th Century Thai History
Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 35, No.2, September 1997 Bangkok's Population and the Ministry of the Capital in Early 20th Century Thai History Porphant OUYYANONT* Abstract This paperexplores two related themes in Bangkok's development. Population growth, though lower in absolute terms than sometimes suggested, grew rapidly from the 1880s. This put pressure for administrative change, and one result was the formation of the Ministry of the Capital in 1892. I Introduction Although founded as late as 1782, Bangkok was soon established as the country's leading urban centre. Of course, the emergence of a clearly identifiable geographically delineated, country of Siam was a slow progress. But even though we cannot strictly speak of a nation in early 19th century Siam, it is clear that by around 1820, Bangkok surpassed other Thai-speaking centres in terms of size and commercial significance. We might even speak of "primacy," although this was as much a product of the small size of provincial centres as it was of Bangkok's eminence. As other scholars have noted, estimates of population sizes in early 19th century Siam, whether ofBangkok, provincial centres, regions, orthewhole country are very speculative. Interpreting even the scattered estimateswe have is fraught with difficulty. Skinner andTerwiel showthat contempo rary accounts varied widely. Forexample, Bangkok's population in 1822 was estimated byCrawfurd at 50,000, in 1826 byMalloch at 134,090, in 1828 bySchuunnanat410,000, in 1828 byTomlin at 77,300, in 1835 byDean at 505,000, in 1839 by Malcom at 100,000, in 1843 by Neal at 350,000, in 1849 by Malloch at 160,154, in 1854 by Pallegoix at 404,000, and in 1855 by Bowring at 300,000 [Skinner 1957: 81 ; Terwiel 1989: 226].
