  • Affect Forest and Wildlife?
    HowHow WouldWould AffectAffect ForestForest andand Wildlife?Wildlife? 2 © W. Phumanee/ WWF-Thailand Introduction Mae Wong National Park is part of Thailand’s Western Forest Complex: the largest contiguous tract of forest in all of Thailand and Southeast Asia. Mae Wong National Park has been a conservation area for almost 30 years, and today the area is regarded internationally as a place that can offer a safe habitat and a home to many diverse species of wildlife. The success of Mae Wong National Park is the result of many years and a great deal of effort invested in conserving and protecting the Mae Wong forest, as well as ensuring its symbiosis with surrounding areas such as the Tung Yai Naresuan - Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. The large-scale conservation of these areas has enabled the local wildlife to have complete freedom within an extensive tract of forest, and to travel unimpeded in and around its natural habitat. However, even as Mae Wong National Park retains its status as a protected area, it stills faces persistent threats to its long-term sustainability. For many years, certain groups have attempted to forge ahead with large- scale construction projects within the National Park, such as the Mae Wong Dam. For the past 30 years, government officials have been pressured into authorizing the dam’s construction within the conservation area, despite the fact that the project has never passed an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). It is clear, then, that if the Mae Wong Dam project should go ahead, it will have a tremendously destructive impact on the park’s ecological diversity, and will bring about the collapse of the forest’s natural ecosystem.

  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization
    Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization Effective Integrated Pre-hospital Emergency Care System Abstract The unpleasant world championship, According to the World Atlas website, about the country with the highest road deaths in the world in 2017, Thailand has moved up to the top of the world. It was found that the death rate was 36.2 cases per 100,000 populations. While government policies have been set up to prevent road accidents, including accident relief measures. The emphasis is on the preparation of the emergency medical service system so that people can access the emergency medical system thoroughly, equally and with standard quality. Therefore, they have set up a notification and dispatch center in every province, using the number 1669 as the emergency notification and emergency number to assist emergency patients in a timely manner. Ther centers will be set up with the hospital in each province. Songkhla Provincial Administrative Organization has created an innovative approach to integrating the new dimension of work in order to help people with illnesses and emergency situations thoroughly and effectively. It was set up as a public service by the local government based on authority and mission that was effectively transferred. This serves the needs of people in all areas, enhances people's quality of life and reduces the rate of loss of life and disability of people in the area. We hope that this innovation will be useful for the development of emergency medical systems for local governments in all areas. More importantly, we would like to thank all the working groups and networking parties involved in driving this innovation.

The group understands problems better, is more trustworthy, and more able to solve problems than other groups that also help laborers. The influx of “cheap labor” and “illegal laborers” has caused chronic problems for Thai society and the laborers themselves at the individual, local and national levels. The problems have not been seriously addressed and the laborers themselves have become “the problems” that cause many difficulties in racial bias which in turn leads to inappropriate solutions to the problems and hence the real causes of the problems have not been overlooked. “Flowers of the Dawn” is a group of mediators and facilitators of social justice that targets transnational laborers fleeing from Myanmar and those who have been in Mae Sot and nearby areas.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design. The targeted population was ARI aged between 50-70 years old. Two areas, in Songkhla province, were randomly selected. Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) and colonoscopy were used as screence and diagnostic tests. In Hat Yai, participant received one iFOB test and colonoscopy was indicated for those with a positive FIT. In Na Mom, 1-3 iFOB were provided to each individual and colonoscopy was indicated for the participant with double FIT positive. The study proposal was approved by the Hatyai Hospital Ethical Committee (ID 11 (25/03/2015)) and proper treatments were provided to all CRC suspected case. Results: In Hat Yai, 883 participants were recruited and FIT positive was 274 (31.03%) whereas 94 (34.31%) received colonoscopy. We found that 8 (9.06%), 1(1.13%), and 2 (2.27%) were small adenoma, advanced adenoma, and colon cancer.
