Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, approximately the size of Singapore. Phuket nestles in balmy Andaman Sea waters on Thailand’s Indian Ocean coastline, 862 kilometres south of Bangkok. Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoyed a rich and colourful history. The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign traders’ ship logs. Phuket is blessed with magnificent coves and bays, powdery, palm-fringed white beaches, sparkling island-dotted seas, sincere hospitable people, superb accommodation and seafood, delightful turn-of-the-century Sino-Portuguese architecture, numerous sporting and leisure opportunities, and a lush tropical landscape-all of which have been combined to create a delightful ambience for truly memorable holidays. CLIMATES Phuket has two major seasons: the rainy season from May through October, and the summer from November through April. There are many sunny days throughout the rainy season: showers customarily last little more than 2 or 3 6 hours. September is the wettest month. The best months are November through February. Average temperatures range between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. TRANSPORTATION Travel from Bangkok By Car : There are two routes : 1. Take Rama 2 Road (Thon Buri - Pak Tho).

  • Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
    Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand 1 1. Overview Nakhon Si Thammarat City is the capital of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Province in Southern Thailand. It is a regional hub for commercial activity, tourism, education and culture. The wider province is largely rural with urban development concentrated in the Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat District, a lowland region located on the province’s eastern coast. Nakhon Si Thammarat Province is home to 1.5 million people, 102,152 who live in the Nakhon Si Thammarat City Municipality, and has a total economic production estimated at $5.4 billion, growing at around 2.2% per year. The regional economy is driven by a thriving tourism industry and received over 4 million visitors over last year. The city also has significant religious and historical importance, first founded over 1,500 years ago. Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Hall has overall responsibility for city governance and administration, while district, sub-district and village level policy implementation is delivered through a series of local organisations. Developing effective waste management systems is a key priority for Nakhon Si Thammarat. The province currently has the largest accumulation of unmanaged solid waste in Thailand with the city regularly receiving waste from surrounding settlements. Its close proximity to the coast and hydrological connection via a large urban canal network mean tackling the city’s plastic waste has major regional impact potential. Current development priorities for Nakhon Si Thammarat include developing public awareness and environmental education around waste management, tackling urban flooding, and improving city infrastructure.

  • 1-1 Thailand Ex-Post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan Project
    Official Use Only Thailand Ex-post Evaluation of Japanese ODA Loan Project “Regional Road Improvement Project (III)” External Evaluator: Keishi Miyazaki (OPMAC Corporation) Field Survey: June - July 2009 1. Outline of the ODA Loan Assistance Map of the project site Project target road (Don Sak-Sichon section in Surat Thani) 1.1 Background In Thailand, transport falls into five major areas: road transport, railway transport, maritime transport, inland water transport and air transport. Road transport plays an important role in the Thai transport system. For example, the share of road transport of the total cargo transport volume of all transport systems (ton-km base) in 1998 was 90.9%. Although the main trunk highways in Thailand were well developed and its pavement ratio was 97.9% in 1999, expansion of traffic capacity for existing roads was an important issue as traffic volume increased year by year. Likewise, there was a remarkable increase in traffic volume in regional areas, and the lack of capacity of roads was creating a bottleneck in the smooth transport of domestic cargo. With this background, the First Phase of the Four-Lane Highway Widening Project (target length: 1,891km) was planned in 1993 as a development plan for the main trunk highways. This Four-Lane Highway Widening Project was given the highest priority in road sector development as well as priority budget allocation among road rehabilitation projects. In addition, the Second Phase of the Four-Lane Highway Widening Project (target length: 4,638km) was established in 1995, and the improvement of the major two-lane national highways to four-lane roads was further promoted.

The thesis is divided into four parts as follows: Part I (i.e. Chapter 2) examines the political economy of resource use in the Andaman Sea region. The objective of Part I is to place the research sites in a larger political-economic framework and to delineate the main problems that are found in this region. Part II focuses on the research sites. After setting the geographical and historical contexts, the economic organisation of the communities are unravelled in chapter 3.
