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.

  • Mamweb: Regional Styles of Thai Cuisine

    Mamweb: Regional Styles of Thai Cuisine

    Regional Styles of Thai Cuisine: Thailand is comprised of four main culinary regions, each with their own specialties, and each having slight deviations in flavor profile from that of the Central region, which is considered by most to be the ‘classic’ Thai culinary style. The variations are caused by differences in ethnicity, cultural background, geography, climate, and to some extent, politics. Each ethnographic group can lay claim to dishes which are known nationwide, whether they originated with the Chinese immigrants from Hainan, Fujian, Guangzhou, or Yunnan, the Sunni Muslim Malays or animist Moken sea gypsies in the South, the Mon of the west-Central, the Burmese Shan in the North, the Khmer in the East, or the Lao in the Northeast. Geography and climate determine what can be grown and harvested, and whether the aquatic species consumed in the region are derived from the sea or freshwater. The cuisine of Northeastern Thailand: Aahaan Issan: Issan (also written as Isaan, Isarn, Esarn, Isan) is Thailand’s poorest region, both economically and agriculturally. It is plagued by thin soils, with an underlying layer of mineral salts (mineral salt is harvested and exported country wide). The weather is a limiting factor in agricultural production: it is hotter and dryer during the dry season, and rains can easily become floods, since it is basically a large flat plateau (the Khorat Plateau), hemmed-in by mountain ranges to the west and the south. Watersheds are limited and flow into the Mekong, which serves as a transportation link for trade. Marshes and temporary lakes appear during the rainy season.

Abstract Correct assessment of land is a major issue in agricultural sector to use possible capability of any land, to raise cultivation and production of rice. Geographical Information System (GIS) provides broad techniques for suitable land classifications. This study is GIS based on land suitability analysis for rice farming in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Thailand, where the main livelihood of people is rice farming. This analysis was conducted considering the relationship of rice production with various data layers of elevation, slope, soil pH, rainfall, fertilizer use and land use. ArcView GIS 3.2 software is used to consider each layer according to related data. To weigh every coefficient, ranking techniques are used. It was based on determining correlation of rice production and these variables. This analysis showed a positive correlation with these variables in varying degrees depending on the magnitude and quality of these factors. By combining both data layers of GIS and weighted linear combination, various suitable lands have been developed for cultivation of rice. Integrated suitable assessment map and current land were compared to find suitable land in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province of Thailand. As a result of this comparison, we get a land which is suitable for optimum utilization for rice production in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province.

    10Th SEADOM Congress 2018 “Connecting Across Borders”

    10th SEADOM Congress 2018 “Connecting Across Borders” March 15-17, 2018 Southeast Asia Music Museum @ College of Music, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand Connecting Across Borders Building out from the last two congresses and with the evolution in connections within the SEADOM group, this year's theme seeks to share some first exemplars of regional border crossings, not only geographically but also stylistically, culturally and politically. With the mix of local, classical and commercial music evident in the region, the range of musics being shared in Southeast Asia is arguably as rich and diverse as in anywhere in the world. Through sharing such music ever more openly, we offer the possibility to transcend cultural and political divisions as well as economic limitations so that the region might become ever more integrated. Following some of last year's discussions, a further challenge which deserves to be transcended is the potential barrier suggested between the educational and commercial sectors: in fact both sides (if there are indeed sides) have so much in common in terms of advocating music. Finally, there is of course the possibility of music reaching out to connect with other art forms or other areas of human endeavour (e.g. health, education, social inclusion etc.). Taking forward some of these ideas, the congress this year seeks to showcase a number of recent projects which have started to transcend perceived barriers to open up unique regional opportunities. The focus will be very much on our own region so we call to anyone here with us to present examples which they believe could be of interest to others regionally.
