Nicholls, Ph.D. January, 2001 216 (Graduate Major) (Research Advisor) (Month/Year) (No. of Pages) American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual (Name of Style Manual Used in this study) Sustainable ecotourism is often considered to be effective for supporting the local communities’ economy and promoting the conservation of protected areas in developing countries. By establishing economic benefits for impoverished villagers or their communities, sustainable ecotourism is utilized to encourage local guardianship of natural resources. To assess sustainable ecotourism’s impact on the revenue of local residents in the Village of Khiriwong and the Khao Luang National Park, and its effects on the environmental preservation of the Khao Luang National Park in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, the researcher randomly conducted surveys of the visitors’ attitudes about rewarding experiences during their village and park visits. Biologists and Ecologists were interviewed about sustainable ecotourism’s role in supporting environmental preservation in the village and national park.

    Chiang Mai Lampang Lamphun Mae Hong Son Contents Chiang Mai 8 Lampang 26 Lamphun 34 Mae Hong Son 40 View Point in Mae Hong Son Located some 00 km. from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is the principal city of northern Thailand and capital of the province of the same name. Popularly known as “The Rose of the North” and with an en- chanting location on the banks of the Ping River, the city and its surroundings are blessed with stunning natural beauty and a uniquely indigenous cultural identity. Founded in 12 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai has had a long and mostly independent history, which has to a large extent preserved a most distinctive culture. This is witnessed both in the daily lives of the people, who maintain their own dialect, customs and cuisine, and in a host of ancient temples, fascinating for their northern Thai architectural Styles and rich decorative details. Chiang Mai also continues its renowned tradition as a handicraft centre, producing items in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more, which make the city the country’s top shopping destination for arts and crafts. Beyond the city, Chiang Mai province spreads over an area of 20,000 sq. km. offering some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole Kingdom. The fertile Ping River Valley, a patchwork of paddy fields, is surrounded by rolling hills and the province as a whole is one of forested mountains (including Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon), jungles and rivers. Here is the ideal terrain for adventure travel by trekking on elephant back, river rafting or four-wheel drive safaris in a natural wonderland.

It is ranked as No. 1 City of the World according to MasterCard’s latest Global Destination cities Survey. Bangkok welcomes more visitors than any other city in the world and it doesn’t take long to realise why this is a city of extremes with action on every corner: Marvel at the gleaming temples, catch a tuktuk along the bustling Chinatown or take a longtail boat through floating markets. Food is another Bangkok highlight with local dishes served at humble street stalls to haute cuisine at romantic rooftop restaurants. Luxury malls compete with a sea of boutiques and markets where you can treat yourself without over spending. Extravagant five-star hotels and surprisingly cheap but good hotels welcome you with the same famed Thai hospitality.

Thailand is also known for its other specialities considering railway traffic, one particular instance being the line from Bangkok to Mae Khlong, which partly goes through a market, that has to be temporarily demounted, whenever a train is closing in, just to be put back up as soon as it passed. The train traffic has great relevance in Thailand, which is the reason for a lot of investment in its development and upkeep. The new Bang Sue Grand Station in Bangkok, to be opened in July 2021, will be the largest railway station in Southeast Asia.

  • The Largest Railway Station in Southeast Asia
    Thailand Puts Forward the Next Great Leap: The Largest Railway Station in Southeast Asia IF YOU LIVE IN BANGKOK, THERE IS A SLIM CHANCE THAT YOU WOULD MISS NOTICING THE EXTRAVAGANT BANG SUE GRAND STATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE SRI RAT EXPRESSWAY. IF YOU GET STUCK UP THERE IN A TRAFFIC JAM, WHICH IS COMMON IN THIS CITY, YOU COULD EVEN SPEND TIME TO CAREFULLY STUDY THE FUTURISTIC STRUCTURE FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES. Its function is explicitly hinted from its exterior that has a New York’s Grand Station-like vibe. The station is Thailand’s next mega infrastructure project which will not only help ease Bangkok’s infamous traffic congestion, but also support the country’s role as a regional transportation hub. It is positioned to strengthen Thailand’s railway system and its connections with the regional transportation network, hence enhancing economic growth. This grand station is on its way to becoming another top attraction in Bangkok – a new landmark with an external design inspired by Hua Lamphong Station but with a modern twist recognizable from miles away. If there is one word to describe the rationale of this project—it is mobility. Thailand has great ambitions to use its railway network to transport passengers and goods more effectively and more economically, particularly to lower its logistics cost which stands around 13.6% of GDP in 2018. Since the inception of the railway system in Thailand in 1893, this is probably the first bold move to upgrade the system at a mega scale. Bangsue Grand Station is just one piece of the whole jigsaw puzzle, albeit a major one.

  • Seminar on Rumen Ecology
    Seminar on Rumen Ecology Date 28 – 29 November 2013 Venue Lecture 2, Sirindhorn Science Home, Thailand Science Park, Pathum Thani, Thailand Organized by National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) Introduction Understanding ecology of the rumen is distinctly important for feeding management of domestic ruminants. Thai farmers raise several species of ruminants ranging from sheep to milking buffaloes and dairy cows. Obviously, these animals play an important role to the socio‐economic of the country however, only few basic researches that aim to better understanding of rumen ecology and lead to the manipulation of bacterial populations to enhance feed efficiencies were carried out in Thailand. This may due to the complexities of ruminants’ digestive tract as well as the interactions between animals and microbes, thus significant researches in rumen ecology that could lead to guide line(s) for ruminant feeding in Thailand were not well documented. This seminar aims to be a venue to share knowledge and experiences amongst scientists working in the fields of animal production, ruminant nutrition and microbiology. Scientific discussions in a friendly atmosphere may lead to integration of various scientific disciplines for collaborative researches that would benefit to the farmers, industries relate to ruminant production and the countries in general. Aims 1. To enable the Thai participants to explore the updated information on ecology of the rumen 2. To share the experiences among scientist, researchers and speakers Targeted participants The targeted groups are personnel of the following organizations: • Industries involving to ruminant production • Public organization • University • Research institute • Department of livestock development, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives Speakers and chairs - Israel - Dr.

  • 339 Chapter Six Three Royal Wats Through the Turmoil
    CHAPTER SIX THREE ROYAL WATS THROUGH THE TURMOIL OF NATIONALIST GOVERNMENTS AND DICTATOR REGIMES (1910-1957) Introduction In the previous chapter, we saw how the royal wats lost their sources of direct state support, resulting in their dependence on rent revenues derived from their donated land and their abbots became responsible for their physical condition. Real estate properties of wats became the key for their survival, and the royal government also supported them to be independent entities in the market economy. In this chapter, we will see the increasing gap between the government and the Buddhist monastic order. This was especially the case after King Vajiravudh appointed his uncle and preceptor, Prince Wachirayan as the Supreme Patriarch, whose control of monastic affairs included urging wats to manage and invest in their land properties. Moreover, he also developed strategies to increase the Buddhist religious central assets, with the aim of making the Buddhist monastic order more independent from the state. He also created primary schools and Buddhist standard texts and promoted monastic practices which supported the unity of the nation in keeping with King Vajiravudh’s ultra-nationalist ideology. In this reign, the wats and monks were separated from the management of public education. Moreover, the king did not support any new construction or preservation of the royal wats as previous rulers had in the past. Therefore, royal wats lost their prominent role in society and state affairs, but at the same time they gained significant financial stability in terms of their private investment. After the bloodless revolution in 1932, King Prachathipok (Rama VII) became a constitutional monarch and the People’s Party comprised of lower ranking officials took control of the kingdom.
