It is a land of beautiful Dok Krachiao (curcuma) fields and abundant waterfalls in the rainy season. It is one of the provinces possessing a large number of forested areas in Northeast Thailand. There are major mountain ranges such as Phu Phang Hoei, Phu Laen Kha, and Phu Phaya Fo, the origin of the Chi River. Historically, Chaiyaphum is a place where many periods of civilization have overlapped one another from the Dvaravati and Khmer periods until the Laotian or Lan Chang influence. Many archaeological remains and objects were found in many areas in the province. Later, the province appeared as a border town during the reign of King Narai the Great of the Ayutthaya period. After that, the town was abandoned and appeared once more in the Rattanakosin era as a destination where the Vientiane people led by their leader called Lae, immigrated to. Then he was designated as the first governor of Chaiyaphum. Chaiyaphum is approximately 330 kilometres from Bangkok, covering an area of 12,778.287 square kilometres.

    1. Baseline Characterization of Tad Fa Watershed, Khon Kaen Province, Northeast Thailand Somchai Tongpoonpol, Arun Pongkanchana, Pranee Seehaban, Suhas P Wani and TJ Rego Introduction Agriculture is the main occupation in Thailand and it plays an important role in the economic development of the country. Thailand is located in the tropical monsoon climate region where the amount of rainfall is high but shortage of water occurs even in rainy season. Only 20% of total agricultural area is under irrigation, with rest constituting rainfed area, which has relatively lower crop yields. High soil erosion and reduced soil productivity are some of the problems in the rainfed area. The northeastern part of Thailand occupies one-third of the whole country. The climate of the region is drier than that of other regions. Most of the soils in Northeast Thailand are infertile at present and liable to be further degraded. The empirical evidence shows that crop yields decreased over the years after the conversion of the area as agricultural land by deforestation. The soils have become infertile due to improper soil management. The soils are low in fertility and have low water-holding capacity (WHC), and soil erosion is a serious problem. The interventions by ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics) project aim to address these problems in the rainfed areas of Northeast Thailand. The watershed area in Phu Pa Man district in Khon Kaen province has been selected as benchmark site to address the above problems and increase agricultural productivity through a sustainable manner by adopting integrated soil, water and nutrient management (SWNM) and integrated crop management options.

    Note About New Pleistocene Faunal Remains from Tham Prakai Phet, Chaiyaphum Province, Thailand

    Original Note about new Pleistocene faunal remains from Tham Prakai Phet, Chaiyaphum Province, Thailand Arnaud Filoux1*, Carole Lespes1, Athiwat Wattanapituksakul1, Cholawit Thongcharoenchaikit2 Received: 30 July 2013; Accepted: 15 October 2013 Abstract New mammal fossils from the Tham Prakai Phet have been collected during cave explorations, between December 2011 and January 2012, carried out by a team from Mahasarakham University and the Natural History Museum of the National Science Museum of Thailand. The Tham Prakai Phet (the cave of glittering diamonds), is a karstic cavity formed in Permian dolomitic limestone, located in the Chaiyaphum Province (Northeast Thailand). Here we report the new discoveries, with the description of fossil materials of newly discovered taxa. Our study reveals a more diverse faunal assemblage preserved in the cave. The faunal association is comparable to that one described at Tham Wiman Nakin. Some considerations about the taphonomic processes that occur in the cavity and the possible age of the faunal remains are proposed.

    Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, As a Sustainable Model1

    Preserving Temple Murals in Isan: Wat Chaisi, Sawatthi Village, Khon Kaen, as a Sustainable Model1 Bonnie Pacala Brereton Abstract—Wat Chaisi in Sawatthi village, Sawatthi District, located about twenty kilometers from the bustling provincial capital of Khon Kaen, is a unique example of local cultural heritage preservation that was accomplished solely through local stakeholders. Its buildings, as well as the 100 year-old murals on the ordination hall, have been maintained and are used regularly for merit- making and teaching. The effort was initiated by the abbot and is maintained through the joint effort of the wat community, Khon Kaen Municipality, and various individuals and faculties at Khon Kaen University. This paper will examine the role of local leadership in promoting local cultural heritage. Introduction Of the more than 40,000 Buddhist wats in Thailand seventeen percent, or nearly 7,000, are abandoned.2 Of those still in use, many are becoming increasingly crammed with seemingly superfluous new structures, statues, and decorations, funded by people seeking fame or improvement in their karmic status. Still others are thriving because of the donations they attract through their association with what is sometimes called “popular Buddhism,” a hodgepodge of beliefs in magical monks, amulets, saints, and new rituals aimed at bringing luck and financial success (Pattana 2012). Yet countless others are in a moribund state, in some cases tended by one or two elderly, frail monks who lack the physical and financial resources to maintain them. Both situations are related to the loss of cultural heritage, as countless unique 1 This paper is adapted from one presented at the Fifth International Conference on Local Government, held in Palembang, Indonesia, September 17-19, 2014.
