  • China Birding Report Template
    Thailand (with short notes on Laos) 23 Dec 2006 – 7 Jan 2007 Björn Anderson General This was a combined family holiday and birding trip. We started off with a few days of general sightseeing around Luang Prabang in Laos before travelling south to well-known Khao Lak in peninsular Thailand. From there I made one half-day birding venture to Khao Sok National Park as well as the pilgrimage trip to Similan Island for the long-awaited Nicobar Pigeon. At the end of the trip I stayed on for a few more extra days and went to Khao Yai in order to pick up a few so-far missed birds. This proved highly successful and I managed to see the targeted Coral-billed Ground- Cuckoo, Siamese Fireback, Eared Pitta as well as an incredibly nice sighting of Oriental Bay-Owl. In addition to these I also encountered goodies such as Blue Pitta, Scaly-breasted Partridge and a selection of hornbills, barbets, etc. Myself (left) and displaying Siamese Fireback (the flapping guy to the right) Itinerary 23/12 We left Beijing in the early evening and arrived at Bangkok around 22.00 local time and quickly transferred to a nearby hotel. 24/12 In the morning we took a short range flight from Bangkok to Luang Prabang in Lao’s People Democratic Republic. At the local airport we swiftly arrange an open-air taxi that took us to our pre- booked hotel near the centre of town. Town is actually a bit of an exaggeration as it turned out that is was possible to walk all around the centre in less than an hour.

  • Ecotourism Management for Sustainability in Protected Areas in Thailand
    Ecotourism Management for Sustainability in Protected Areas in Thailand Nirachorn Chitapanya Master of Environmental Management UTAS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Environmental Management School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart, Tasmania, Australia August 2005 STATEMENT OF AUTHENTICITY This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other higher degree or graduate diploma in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by other persons, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. ri714 Nirachorn Chitapanya ABSTRACT Tourism is one of the largest industries in terms of employment. It has played a significant role in supporting many countries economies. Tourism, however, can harm the natural environment and cause problems such as biodiversity degradation, garbage and wastewater if tourism is inappropriately planned and managed. Over the past decade, there has been increasing in environmental awareness regarding the negative impacts of mass tourism on the environment. Sustainable tourism and ecotourism have become more popular among tourists and environmentalists and are believed to meet the requirement of sustainable development. These two forms of tourism can be defined as alternative tourism which emphasizes minimum impact on the environment, maintains natural resources and consider the well-being of local people. As ecotourism is based the natural areas, - and often take place in protected areas such as terrestrial and marine national parks. In Thailand, protected areas have long provided important natural resources and activities for visitor for education, tourism and recreation.

  • Checklist of the Moss Collection in the Forest Herbarium, Royal Forest Department, Bangkok
    • CHECKLIST OF THE MOSS COLLECTION IN THE FOREST HERBARIUM, ROYAL FOREST DEPARTMENT, BANGKOK. by P.P. T!XIERl and TEM SMITINAND The senior author, being awarded the SEATO Fellowship to study the agro-ecology of highlands in relation with bryophytes in Pakistan and Thailand, spent nearly 4 months between March-June 1965 in Thailand collecting some 2000 numbers of mosses and hepatics with the co-operation of the Forest Herbarium. During the excursion he paid visits to Doi Suthep, Doi Chiengdao, and Fang in Chiengmai; Phu Mieng in Phitsanuloke; Khao Yai National Parks and Phu Khieo in Nakhorn Rachasima; Khao Sabap in Chantaburi; Koh Chang in Trat; Khun Thale Forest in Surat; all of these visits were accompanied by Mr. Chamlawng PHENGKHLAJ, Chief of the Section of Botany and Zoology, Forest Products Research Division. The collection has been deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Paris and a set of duplicates will be provided for the Forest Herbarium, Bangkok after proper determination. While working on the moss collection in the Forest Herbarium, he came across some species not hitherto reported from this country, and thus kindly prepared a checklist aiming at a wider circulation. The moss collection of the Forest Herbarium has successively been determined by the late Drs. P. ARENS of Hilversum, Holland; G.O.K. SAINSBURY of Wairoa, New Zealand; E.B. BARTRAM of Buskill, U.S.A. It is most unfortunate that these specialists did not live long enough to have a thourough study of the Bryology of Thailand. To commemorate their kind and sincere co-operation, their names are being cited with the specimens they have worked on.
