Atlas of Trafficking in Mainland Southeast Asia Drug trafficking in and out of the Golden Triangle Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy CNRS-Prodig (Maps 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 31) The Golden Triangle is the name given to the area of mainland Southeast Asia where most of the world‟s illicit opium has originated since the early 1950s and until 1990, before Afghanistan‟s opium production surpassed that of Burma. It is located in the highlands of the fan-shaped relief of the Indochinese peninsula, where the international borders of Burma, Laos, and Thailand, run. However, if opium poppy cultivation has taken place in the border region shared by the three countries ever since the mid-nineteenth century, it has largely receded in the 1990s and is now confined to the Kachin and Shan States of northern and northeastern Burma along the borders of China, Laos, and Thailand.

  • The Nyo Language Spoken at Kut Kho Kan Village (Loeng Nok Tha District, Yasothon Province): a Language Documentation Research at Roi Et Rajabhat University
    73 สิกขา วารสารศึกษาศาสตร์ มหาวิทยาลัยวงษ์ชวลิตกุล ปีที 5 ฉบับที 2 (กรกฎาคม-ธันวาคม 2561) Sikkha Journal of Education Vongchavalitkul Vol. 5 No 2 (2561) : July-December 2018 The Nyo language spoken at Kut Kho Kan village (Loeng Nok Tha district, Yasothon province): A Language Documentation Research at Roi Et Rajabhat University Jean Pacquement Agrégé de grammaire (Éducation nationale, France) Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, Roi-Et Rajabhat University, Thailand Corresponding Author Email Address: [email protected] (Received: July 31, 2018; Revised: September 1, 2018, Accepted October, 9 2018) Abstract The objective of this article is to document a Nyo variety spoken in Kut Kho Kan village (Khok Samran subdistrict, Loeng Nok Tha district, Yasothon province), which has not been previously mentioned in the linguistic literature about Nyo dialects in Northeast Thailand. Among the Nyo speakers of Kut Kho Kan village who contributed to this research were two students of Roi Et Rajabhat University, still aware of the use of a distinct dialect in their native place. They helped the researcher reach Nyo speakers as well as speakers of other Tai dialects in a micro-linguistic area comprising districts belonging to three provinces (Mukdahan, Yasothon, and Amnat Charoen) of Northeast Thailand, where specific varieties of Tai languages (Southwestern branch) such as Phu Thai are also spoken. Further studies should thus include the documentation of those varieties, especially those of Phu Thai. Nyo as well as Phu Thai are language names as well as ethnonyms which can be found not only in Thailand, but also in neighboring countries such as Laos and Vietnam. Keywords: Language documentation, Nyo language, Phu Thai language, Tonal patterns, Micro-linguistic areas.

This paper is a part of the Tourism Development Model towards Thai – Lao: Case Study of Nakhon Phanom-Khammouan-Mukdahan-Savannakhet-Seno Special Economic Zone. The Author used geopolitics as the main analyzed concept to indicate that to be a border town nowadays does not overshadow the government role.

  • 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town
    The Study on the Integrated Regional Development Plan for the Northeastern Border Region in the Kingdom of Thailand Sector Plan: Chapter 8 Industry 8.3.2 Feature of the Industrial Town Organization of I-san is divided by three regions by each Ministry and Agency, because of the supporting system of hierarchy. Roughly speaking, southwest center and gate city is Nakhon Ratchashima, southeast center is Ubon Ratchathani and Northwest center is Khon Kaen. Four provinces in northeast I-san are divided into two groups. Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan belong to Ubon Ratchathani of the Southeast and Sakon Nakhon and Kalasin belong to the Khon Kaen of Northwest center. Since the four provinces are far from the center city, they could not receive full support from the center. Even that Khon Kaen and Ubon Ratchathani are the centers of the regions, they themselves also require economic support. Eventually, four provinces should be developing themselves (see Figure 8.9). Figure 8.9 Functions of Four Provincial Towns But a careful consideration of this region indicates that I-san region should be divided into four sub-regions. Northeast region of four provinces should be joined together and establish a new regional community.
