  • The Potential of Tourist Attractions: a Case Study of 2 Rural Connecting Districts in the Western Part of Thailand
    The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan The Potential of Tourist Attractions: A Case Study of 2 Rural Connecting Districts in the Western Part of Thailand Areerut Patnukao, Sirivilai Teerarojanarat Chulalongkorn University, Thailand 0533 The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract The area along the Thai-Burmese border in the western part of Thailand is dominated by mountain ranges lying in a north-south direction. This area is enriched with national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and diversity of ethnic minority groups. Some of these places are promoted to be tourist attractions. However, sustainable tourism is still in its infancy. The project entitled “Geographical Techniques for the Study of Cultural Diversity and Tourism Development” was launched in 2010. The study area covered the connecting area of two rural districts - Dan Chang district, Suphan Buri province and Ban Rai district, Uthai Thani province. This paper presents the first stage of this project aiming to explore and identify the potential of tourist attractions in the study area. Methodology involved field survey, classification and assessment of potential of tourist attractions, development of GIS tourism databases, and implementation of SWOT analysis. Results showed that tourist attractions are based almost entirely on their cultural and natural heritages. Based on the SWOT analysis, their strengths are in term of the cultural uniqueness and the richness of forestry and wildlife. Their major weaknesses are the incompleteness of physical transportation and facilities and the uncooperative attitudes between the relevant government agencies. The opportunity is that these areas can be promoted to become new tourist attractions at both domestic and international levels.

  • Military Brotherhood Between Thailand and Myanmar: from Ruling to Governing the Borderlands
    1 Military Brotherhood between Thailand and Myanmar: From Ruling to Governing the Borderlands Naruemon Thabchumphon, Carl Middleton, Zaw Aung, Surada Chundasutathanakul, and Fransiskus Adrian Tarmedi1, 2 Paper presented at the 4th Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network conference “Activated Borders: Re-openings, Ruptures and Relationships”, 8-10 December 2014 Southeast Asia Research Centre, City University of Hong Kong 1. Introduction Signaling a new phase of cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar, on 9 October 2014, Thailand’s new Prime Minister, General Prayuth Chan-o-cha took a two-day trip to Myanmar where he met with high-ranked officials in the capital Nay Pi Taw, including President Thein Sein. That this was Prime Minister Prayuth’s first overseas visit since becoming Prime Minister underscored the significance of Thailand’s relationship with Myanmar. During their meeting, Prime Minister Prayuth and President Thein Sein agreed to better regulate border areas and deepen their cooperation on border related issues, including on illicit drugs, formal and illegal migrant labor, including how to more efficiently regulate labor and make Myanmar migrant registration processes more efficient in Thailand, human trafficking, and plans to develop economic zones along border areas – for example, in Mae 3 Sot district of Tak province - to boost trade, investment and create jobs in the areas . With a stated goal of facilitating border trade, 3 pairs of adjacent provinces were named as “sister provinces” under Memorandums of Understanding between Myanmar and Thailand signed by the respective Provincial governors during the trip.4 Sharing more than 2000 kilometer of border, both leaders reportedly understood these issues as “partnership matters for security and development” (Bangkok Post, 2014).

  • The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please Tell Us More About King
    The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please tell us more about King Ramkhamhaeng!” exclaimed Klahan. The Tak Bai Thai boy and his younger brother, Chit sat expectantly before Awut, their grandfather. Awut smiled as he started his second round of stories. His grandsons love a good story, and Awut certainly had a wealth of old folk tales, told to him as a boy by his own parents. The old Tak Bai Thai man knew that a day will come when his grandsons would be more interested in the Internet and computer games than listen to old folk tales. The Tak Bai Thai’s origins are linked to King Ramkhamhaeng of the ancient Thai kingdom of Sukhothai. This king extended the power of his kingdom from central Siam down south to the Malay Peninsula in the 13th century. To secure his foothold, he relocated thousands of his subjects along with their Buddhist faith into what is now northern Malaysia and southern Thailand. Today these people are called the Tak Bai Thai. While they mainly occupy Tak Bai District in Narathiwat Province, they also live in Pattani and Yala provinces. Their language is quite different from standard Thai and is described as a variant of the language of old Sukhothai. The 21,000 Tak Bai Thai live alongside their Muslim Pattani Malay neighbours. Both groups generally tolerate each other, though the ongoing insurgency by separatist Pattani Malay rebels has shaken the security of the Tak Bai Thai. The Tak Bai Thai are staunch Theravada Buddhists, having resisted the influence of Islam for centuries.

  • 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town
    The Study on the Integrated Regional Development Plan for the Northeastern Border Region in the Kingdom of Thailand Sector Plan: Chapter 8 Industry 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town Organization of I-san is divided by three regions by each Ministry and Agency, because of the supporting system of hierarchy. Roughly speaking, southwest center and gate city is Nakhon Ratchashima, southeast center is Ubon Ratchathani and Northwest center is Khon Kaen. Four provinces in northeast I-san are divided into two groups. Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan belong to Ubon Ratchathani of the Southeast and Sakon Nakhon and Kalasin belong to the Khon Kaen of Northwest center. Since the four provinces are far from the center city, they could not receive full support from the center. Even that Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani are the centers of the regions, they themselves also require economic support. Eventually, four provinces should be developing themselves (see Figure 8.9). Figure 8.9 Functions of Four Provincial Towns But a careful consideration of this region indicates that I-san region should be divided into four sub-regions. Northeast region of four provinces should be joined together and establish a new regional community. Sakon Nakhon should be considered as the center because of the following reasons: · Sakon Nakhon is the biggest economic town among the four provinces; · It is the geographical center among the four provinces; 8-49 PLANET NESDB - JICA · It has a well-developed industrial infrastructure of airport and road network among the four provinces; and · Sakon Nakhon has a potential for Agro-Science City with agricultural activities of R&D institute and universities.
