  • Thailand's First Provincial Elections Since the 2014 Military Coup
    ISSUE: 2021 No. 24 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 5 March 2021 Thailand’s First Provincial Elections since the 2014 Military Coup: What Has Changed and Not Changed Punchada Sirivunnabood* Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, founder of the now-dissolved Future Forward Party, attends a press conference in Bangkok on January 21, 2021, after he was accused of contravening Thailand's strict royal defamation lese majeste laws. In December 2020, the Progressive Movement competed for the post of provincial administrative organisations (PAO) chairman in 42 provinces and ran more than 1,000 candidates for PAO councils in 52 of Thailand’s 76 provinces. Although Thanathorn was banned from politics for 10 years, he involved himself in the campaign through the Progressive Movement.

PAUWELS 1*, PATRICK DAVID 2, CHUCHEEP CHIMSUNCHART 3 AND KUMTHORN THIRAKHUPT 4 1 Department of Recent Vertebrates, Institut Royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, 29 rue Vautier, 1000 Brussels, BELGIUM 2 UMS 602 Taxinomie-collection – Reptiles & Amphibiens, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 25 rue Cuvier, 75005 Paris, FRANCE 3 65 Moo 1, Tumbon Tumlu, Amphoe Ban Lat, Phetchaburi 76150, THAILAND 4 Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, THAILAND ABSTRACT.–A study of herpetological biodiversity was conducted in Phetcha- buri Province, in the upper part of peninsular Thailand. On the basis of a review of available literature, original field observations and examination of museum collections, a preliminary list of 81 species (12 chelonians, 2 crocodiles, 23 lizards, and 44 snakes) is established, of which 52 (64 %) are reported from the province for the first time. The possible presence of additional species is discussed. Some biological data on the new specimens are provided including some range extensions and new size records. The herpetofauna of Phetchaburi shows strong Sundaic affinities, with about 88 % of the recorded species being also found south of the Isthmus of Kra. A biogeographic affinity analysis suggests that the Isthmus of Kra plays the role of a biogeographic filter, due both to the repeated changes in climate during the Quaternary and to the current increase of the dry season duration along the peninsula from south to north.

  • Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Trace Elements in Marine Sediment and Organisms in the Gulf of Thailand Suwalee Worakhunpiset Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, 420/6 Ratchavithi Rd, Bangkok 10400, Thailand; [email protected]; Tel.: +66-2-354-9100 Received: 13 March 2018; Accepted: 13 April 2018; Published: 20 April 2018 Abstract: This review summarizes the findings from studies of trace element levels in marine sediment and organisms in the Gulf of Thailand. Spatial and temporal variations in trace element concentrations were observed. Although trace element contamination levels were low, the increased urbanization and agricultural and industrial activities may adversely affect ecosystems and human health. The periodic monitoring of marine environments is recommended in order to minimize human health risks from the consumption of contaminated marine organisms. Keywords: trace element; environment; pollution; sediment; gulf of Thailand 1. Introduction Environmental pollution is an urgent concern worldwide [1]. Pollutant contamination can exert adverse effects on ecosystems and human health [2]. Trace elements are one type of pollutant released into the environment, and metal contamination levels are rising. The main sources of trace elements are natural activities such as volcanic eruptions and soil erosion, and human activities such as industrial production, waste disposal, the discharge of contaminated wastewater, the inappropriate management of electronic waste (e-waste), and the application of fertilizers in agriculture [3–7]. Once trace elements are released into the environment, they can be dispersed by the wind and deposited in soil and bodies of water, accumulating in marine sediments [8,9].

  • Women's Roles in Fisheries Governance in Ban Laem
    IJERD – International Journal of Environmental and Rural Development (2013) 4-1 Research article erd Women’s Roles in Fisheries Governance in Ban Laem, Phetchaburi Province, Thailand DARACHA THIAMMUEANG* Faculty of Fisheries Technology and Aquatic Resources, Maejo University, Chiang Mai, Thailand Email: [email protected] KUNGWAN JUNTARASHOTE Coastal Development Center, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand RATANA CHUENPAGDEE Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Canada Received 16 December 2012 Accepted 30 January 2013 (*Corresponding Author) Abstract In the past, men have been played key role in the way of life of small-scale fishers. Because of their physical condition is more proper than women. Therefore, the women are mainly participating in fish processing and marketing. At present, participation of women in fisheries industry has increased day by day, particularly as a labor force in fisheries production sector. In this study, women in Ban Panern, a fishing village in Laem Pak Bia sub-district, Ban Laem district, Phetchaburi province was selected to examine the women roles that contributing to fisheries governance. Using key informant interviews and participant observation was carried out from August to September 2011. The results showed that, the roles of women in this fishing village were more or less the same of women’s role in the third world. These roles are classified into 3 categories, i.e., motherhood role, labor in production role and community management role. Most of them have been involved in all three categories particularly, contribution to the fishery management in their community. They have participated in many activities that relating to public utility development, they have established and conducted a fish central market in the village in order to solve the unfair price of aquatic animal problem of the fishers.

  • Thailand 2015 Human Rights Report
    THAILAND 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Thailand is a constitutional monarchy. The king serves as head of state and has traditionally exerted political influence. In May 2014, in a bloodless coup, military and police leaders, taking the name of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) and led by General Prayut Chan-o-cha, overthrew the interim government led by the Puea Thai political party, which had governed since 2011 following National Assembly lower house elections that were generally considered free and fair. The military-led NCPO maintained control over the security forces and all government institutions. The interim constitution remained in place during the year, as did numerous decrees severely limiting civil liberties, including restrictions on freedoms of speech, assembly, and the press. On April 1, the military rescinded martial law and replaced it with NCPO Order No. 3/2015, issued under article 44 of the NCPO-imposed interim constitution, which grants the military government similarly sweeping power to curb “acts deemed harmful to national peace and stability.” Additionally, Article 48 of the NCPO-imposed interim constitution grants of immunity to coup leaders and their subordinates for any pre- or postcoup actions ordered by the NCPO, regardless of the legality of the action. In addition to limitations on civil liberties implemented by the NCPO, the most persistent human rights problems were abuses by government security forces and local defense volunteers in the continuing Malay-Muslim insurgency in the southernmost provinces of Yala, Narathiwat, Pattani, and one district of Songkhla; and occasional excessive use of force by security forces (police and military), including harassing or abusing criminal suspects, detainees, and prisoners.

The Sen Huen ritual is a University, 999 Phuttamonthon 4 significant aspect of the Tai Dam’s ancestor worship. This ritual has to be conducted Road, Salaya, Nakhon Pathom 73170, Thailand in a room set for ancestral spirits called and the ritual is required to be done every 2–3 years to avoid bad luck and receive good fortune and blessings, otherwise the descendants will suffer misfortunes such as illness, hardship and adversity. The theoretical framework applied to this study is Systemic Functional Linguistics, in particular the description of the system of transitivity, which is part of the ideational metafunction. The paper aims to investigate how the Tai Dam perception of local ecology is construed grammatically in the transitivity system. The system of transitivity is a resource for construing human experience of change or goings − on in the flow of events inside and around us. A quantum of change in the flow of events is construed as a configuration of a process involving one or more participants and attendant circumstances. The data were drawn from six Sen Huen ritual manuscripts which were collected from six Sen Huen ritual shamans residing in four provinces of Thailand: Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom, and Suphanburi provinces.

  • Current Arboviral Threats and Their Potential Vectors in Thailand
    pathogens Review Current Arboviral Threats and Their Potential Vectors in Thailand Chadchalerm Raksakoon 1 and Rutcharin Potiwat 2,* 1 Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand; [email protected] 2 Department of Medical Entomology, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10400, Thailand * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Arthropod-borne viral diseases (arboviruses) are a public-health concern in many regions of the world, including Thailand. This review describes the potential vectors and important human and/or veterinary arboviruses in Thailand. The medically important arboviruses affect humans, while veterinary arboviruses affect livestock and the economy. The main vectors described are mosquitoes, but other arthropods have been reported. Important mosquito-borne arboviruses are transmitted mainly by members of the genus Aedes (e.g., dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus) and Culex (e.g., Japanese encephalitis, Tembusu and West Nile virus). While mosquitoes are important vectors, arboviruses are transmitted via other vectors, such as sand flies, ticks, cimicids (Family Cimi- cidae) and Culicoides. Veterinary arboviruses are reported in this review, e.g., duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV), Kaeng Khoi virus (KKV), and African horse sickness virus (AHSV). During arbovirus outbreaks, to target control interventions appropriately, it is critical to identify the vector(s) involved and their ecology. Knowledge of the prevalence of these viruses, and the potential for viral infections to co-circulate in mosquitoes, is also important for outbreak prediction. Keywords: emerging infectious diseases; arboviruses; vector; Aedes spp.; veterinary Citation: Raksakoon, C.; Potiwat, R. 1. Introduction Current Arboviral Threats and Their Arboviral diseases impact human and/or veterinary health in Thailand.
