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. -

Farmers’ Responses to Drivers of Forest Cover Change The Case of Mae Chaem District, Thailand By Antoine Beaulieu Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for the Completion of Requirements to Obtain a Master of Arts in Geography Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Antoine Beaulieu, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Empirical forest transition (shift from deforestation to reforestation) literature has historically struggled to establish a single universally-accepted forest transition “theory” due to various knowledge gaps hindering any efforts to do so. One such gap is the fact that very few studies have focused on how and why smallholder farmers respond to commonly accepted forest transition drivers, as well as how these responses impact forest cover and agricultural trends. Also, there remain many parts of the world where forest cover evolution has been insufficiently researched, as is the case of Mae Chaem district (Chiang Mai province, Thailand). Even though there are studies which claim forest loss occurred in the district between the 1990s and mid-2000s, there are few available records of forest cover evolution since then. To address these research needs, this thesis used secondary literature and spatial data, as well as semi-structured interviews and personal observations gathered during fieldwork in Mae Chaem district. It was first determined that forest cover in the district decreased between the 1990s and mid-2010s due to agricultural expansion. However, it appears that forest cover is expected to increase from 2016 to 2021 due to more strictly- enforced conservation measures set in motion by the Mae Chaem Model (a state-sponsored sustainable development model). -

Chiang Mai Lampang Lamphun Mae Hong Son Contents Chiang Mai 8 Lampang 26 Lamphun 34 Mae Hong Son 40 View Point in Mae Hong Son Located some 00 km. from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is the principal city of northern Thailand and capital of the province of the same name. 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. -

Quarterly Project Progress Report (Q1/2015) Promoting Renewable Energy in Mae Hong Son Project (MHS-RE) 25 March 2015 Basic Project Information Project Title: UNDP Award ID 00048912 UNDP Project ID 00059287 Project Duration 5 years Reporting Period January to March 2015 Total Approved Project Budget US$ 2,712,700 Participating UN Agencies UNDP Thailand Implementing Partners/ MHS Office of the Governor, National Collaborating Agencies MHS Provincial Energy Office (PEO) and Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), Ministry of Energy International Collaborating Global Environment Facility Agencies Cost-sharing Third Parties - UNDP Contact Officer Dr. Sutharin Koonphol Project Website - 1. Summary During the period of January to March 2015, significant progress was made especially on the promotion of improved cook stoves (ICS), activation of the RE activities integration into local/TAO three-year development plan, survey of RE village baseline data, and facilitation of the land-use permit process. Highlight of the project results of this quarter was the advance of the ICS activity. Under this activity, PMU worked closely with the Regional Technical Service Center of the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE) and the Provincial Energy Office (PEO) to finalize the selection of ICS experimental method most suitable to MHS conditions. Then this experiment was carried-out among thirty ICS recruited volunteers from four sub- districts of two target districts. The output of the experiment was quite satisfactory as it could convince the target group about ICS energy efficiency, compared to ordinary cooking stove. This experiment could demonstrate that the ICS consumed less fuel, produced more heat and with less harmful smoke. -

Frequently cloaked in mist, the name derives from the region’s history as a training ground for elephants. Today, Mae Hong Son is better known as an emerging nature-tourism destination, with growing numbers of people attracted by the spectacular scenery, hilltribe communities and soft adventure opportunities. Photographers are particularly drawn to the ‘three-season’ morning mists and fields of sunflowers. Mae Hong Son is also known for the ethnic Thai Yai people, who may at one time have been the most numerous of the ethnic Thai tribes in Southeast Asia. The Thai Yai culture has had a strong influence on the province, most noticably in its architecture. Although a part of the Lanna region, the indigenous Thai Yai people living in Mae Hong Son are faced with very cold weather during winter and extremely hot weather in the summer, with mist or fog practically throughout the whole year. Not surprisingly they have had to adapt to the environment. As a result, their architectural style is different from other Lanna communities. 121285 Mea Hongsorn_pc4.indd 1 22/2/2562 23:03:16 144.5 mm 145.5 mm 145.5 mm 144.5 mm www.tourismthailand.org Nestled in a deep valley hemmed in by high mountain ranges, Mae Hong Son has long been isolated from the outside world.

Mae Chaem Watershed Development Project
Evaluation of Mae Chaem Watershed Development Project Alan D. Roth Lynn Hewitt Michael Carrol'. Kasem Chunkao July 1983 DAT Devolopmont Altornativos, Inc, 624 Ninth Street, NW. Washington, D.C. 20001 PREFACE This evaluation of the Mae Chaem Watershed Development Project in Thailand was undertaken by three consultants from Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) and one consultant from Kasetsart University. The DAI team was composed of Dr. Alan Roth, team leader, who also provided the agricultural economics and project management inputs; Lynn Hewi..t, agronomist; and Michael Carroll, sociologist. Dr. Kasem Chunkao, from Kasetsart University, provided watershed management expertise. Field work was conducted during three weeks in May 1983. The team spent one week in Chiang Mai and one week in Mae Chaem, obtaining data and conducting interviews. The third week was spent writing a field draft that was then presented to the AID mission in Bangkok. The team spent one final week in Bangkok briefing AID staff and Thai government officials. The draft report was then put into final form at DAI in Washington by Dr. Roth. He incorporated the information obtained during the team's last week in Bangkok and the comments he received from AID/Thailand after the mission had reviewed the draft. The team was pleased by the assistance it received from both AID and the Thai government. The level of cooperation and candor was very high and was a strong indication of the interest all parties had in seeing a thorough and objective evaluation.
