October 21st of every year commemorates the birth of HRH Princess Srinagarindra and also marks National Annual Tree Care Day as Her Royal Highness had contributed and dedicated her time to natural and environmental protection. She dedicated her entire life to the conservation of forests. Let me give you an example of the royally-initiated Doi Tung Development Project in Chiang Rai province. Her Royal Highness Princess Srinagarindra understood the root of the problem. There were 11,000 people living in 29 hilltribe villages who were forced by poverty to make a living through illegal activities such as shifting cultivation, opium farming, and prostitution. Because of Her Royal Highness vision and strong desire to see Doi Tung people be able to rely on themselves and co-exist with nature more sustainably, Her Royal Highness, therefore, initiated a project called “Plant Trees, Nurture People” using the people-centered approach and the balance between economic, social, and green development as a core to eradicate poverty. The Doi Tung Development Project marked the beginning of the restoration of forests, soil, streams, and natural resources. Doi Tung forest has become a watershed forest that houses a proper proportion of both economic and usable plants for the locals.

  • Thailand Travel Guide
    Webtour Getaways CC P O Box 2066 MECC, 4301 +27 (0)31 539 4311 [email protected] THAILAND GUIDE From idyllic beaches with turquoise seas and white sands, to bustling cities sporting exotic markets, and a vibrant, colourful nightlife, it is easy to see why Thailand has become one of the most popular tourist destinations for the adventurous and young at heart. A turbulent, bloody history spanning several millennia has left Thailand scattered with ruins, forgotten temples and deserted cities, revealing a rich tableau of past eras that contrasts sharply with the more modern aspects of the nation's contemporary face. As Thailand's tourist industry has boomed, helped to some extent by Hollywood's influence (the country has been the setting for movies like The Man with the Golden Gun, The Bridge over River Kwai, and Alex Garland's The Beach), numerous large and luxurious resorts have been developed. Yet, for those with a smaller budget, many cheap, comfortable but more basic accommodation options are still readily available on the islands and beaches. The size and geographical diversity of Thailand provides for a variety of activities: snorkelling, diving and a host of watersports are very popular around the islands, while inland enthusiasts can trek into the mountains or cycle along the flat river areas of the northeast. Bustling, crowded cities like Bangkok display the wilder urban side of Thailand, ensuring the country has something to offer everyone who visits. THE BASICS TIME GMT +7 ELECTRICITY 220 volts, 50Hz. Both flat and round two-pin plugs are used. LANGUAGE Thai is the official language, although English is widely spoken in tourist areas.

  • Development Not Drug Control: the Evolution of Counter Narcotic Efforts in Thailand
    Dispanadda Diskul, ML, et al. 2019. Development Not Drug Control: The Evolution of Counter Narcotic Efforts in Thailand. Journal of Illicit Economies and Development, 1(1), pp. 80–88. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31389/jied.16 POLICY COMMENTARY Development Not Drug Control: The Evolution of Counter Narcotic Efforts in Thailand M. L. Dispanadda Diskul, Ramrada Ninnad, Andrea Skinner and Visit-orn Rajatanarvin Mae Fah Luang Foundation, TH Corresponding author: M. L. Dispanadda Diskul ([email protected]) In the 1960s, Thailand was the biggest opium producing country in the world. This article presents Thailand’s evolving strategy in solving the problem of illicit poppy cultivation through poverty alleviation and long-term national development. It argues that the root causes of drug crop cultivation and proliferation are poverty, insecurity, and the lack of livelihood opportuni- ties for marginalized communities. Thus, the problem is more a ‘development problem’ rather than a ‘drug problem,’ requiring the addressing of multi-dimensional human development facets in response to the geo-socio-economic conditions of the area. The “Thai approach” is focused on improving the overall well-being of communities, before rule of law can be strengthened, and is very importantly part of long-term broader national development plans. A brief close-up is provided of an example of Thailand’s long-term development project, the Doi Tung Develop- ment Project, to explain more concretely how Thailand’s approach to solve drug crop production translated into practice. Some of these lessons learned from Thailand can and have been shared with the international community in shaping attitudes and policies to drugs and development that are more people-centered, balanced, and sustainable.
