  • (I) Mekongina Erythrospila Mekongina Erythrospila Is a Cyprinid Species
    (i) Mekongina erythrospila Mekongina erythrospila is a cyprinid species endemic to the Mekong Basin. Some fishermen complained about the quality of the flipchart picture of this species, and misidentification by some fishermen may have occurred. Fishermen from Chiang Saen district in northern Thailand and downstream to Pak Lay (Lao PDR) identified this species. There were no reports of the species from Chiang Khan in Thailand to Paksan in the Lao PDR. Mekongina erythrospila was, however, identified at all three stations in Thakhek, the Lao PDR. It was not noted at Tad Phanom or the northernmost station in Mukdahan (both in Thailand). Fishermen between the downstream station in Mukdahan to Sambor (Cambodia), were familiar with the fish. South of Sambor, only fishermen at the Ap Tan My and Phu Hiep stations (Viet Nam) identified the species; however, those reports were probably due to misidentification and thus need verification. A southern distribution limit at Sambor coincided with earlier reports by Roberts and Warren (1994). One fisherman at Klong Kaem in Thailand mentioned that the species never migrates into small streams. It was also recorded at Xe Bangfai, Nam Theun (Kottelat, 1998) and Xe Done (Noraseng et al., undated). Rainboth (1996) also stated that the species only inhabits medium and large-sized rivers. It is interesting to observe that in Stung Treng, Cambodia, near the Lao border this species is called by its Laotian name (Trey Pa Sa-ee). Further south, in Kratie, fishermen were unable to identify it by name although they recognised the fish, indicating that the species was rarer in that area.

  • Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective
    CHAPTER 6 Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective Nucharee Supatn This chapter should be cited as: Supatn, Nucharee, 2012. “Regional Development of the Golden and Emerald Triangle Areas: Thai Perspective.” In Five Triangle Areas in The Greater Mekong Subregion, edited by Masami Ishida, BRC Research Report No.11, Bangkok Research Center, IDE- JETRO, Bangkok, Thailand. CHAPTER 6 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE GOLDEN AND EMERALD TRIANGLE AREAS: THAI PERSPECTIVES Nucharee Supatn INTRODUCTION Regarding international cooperation in the Greater Mekong Sub-region, two triangle areas of the three bordering countries also exist in Thailand. The first is known as the “Golden Triangle” of Myanmar, Lao PDR, and Thailand. It was known as the land of opium and the drug trade in a previous era. The second, the “Emerald Triangle,” includes areas of Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Thailand. In addition, there is also the “Quadrangle Area” of China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Thailand which is an extension of the Golden Triangle. Though there is no border between China and Thailand, there is cooperation in trading, drug and criminal control, and also the development of regional infrastructure, especially in the North-South Economic Corridor (NSEC) and the 4th Thai-Laos Friendship Bridge which is currently under construction. Figure 1 shows the location of the two triangles. The circled area indicates the Golden Triangle, which is located in the upper-north of Thailand, whereas the Emerald Triangle is in the northeastern region of the country. However, as these two triangles are located in different regions of Thailand with different characteristics and contexts, the discussions of each region are presented separately.
