  • No Buildings on Lands Over 80 Meters Above Sea Level? - a Case Study of Kamala, Phuket
    No buildings on lands over 80 meters above sea level? - a case study of Kamala, Phuket Somporn ONTHONG 1*, Sangdao WONGSAI 2 1*Graduate student, Faculty of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 2Andaman Environment and Natural Disaster Research Center (ANED), of Technology and Environment Prince of Songkla University, Phuket Campus 80 Moo 1 Vichit Songkram Rd., Amphur Kathu, Phuket 83120, Thailand; Tel: +66-676-276-142; Fax. +66-7627-6002 E-mail: [email protected] *, 1*, [email protected] 2 Abstract A current issue on Phuket-stay-green above 80 meters from sea level is controversial among property investors and environmentalists. This study addressed this problem posed by mapping land uses at the elevated zones determined by the provincial policy and regulation. A case study was carried out for Kamala sub-district, Phuket, the South of Thailand. The Geoeye satellite image accessed in January 2011 was used to classify land use and land cover types. Field survey was conducted for the accuracy assessment of land use and land cover mapping. Four zones were 0-40 meters, 40-80 meters, 80-125 meters and above 125 meters from sea level. Our findings emphasize that the lands at the elevated zones 0-40 meters and 40-80 meters were mainly categorized as bare lands. These lands have not yet been filled up as the investors have overstated. There would be no need to revise the policy and regulation for allowing the buildings and constructions on the lands above 80 meters. Future land use policy and management should consider a balance between the development and environmental protection.

  • Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach a Case of Thailand
    Tc.urism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing Lincoln University 2004 Abstract of a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Tourism Planning and Destination Marketing: Towards a Community-Driven Approach A Case of Thailand By Jutamas (Jantarat) Wisansing This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed.in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. ii Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated.

  • Medical Information
    Medical Information READ THIS FIRST We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas. Medical facilities The standard of medical facilities throughout Thailand varies. While private hospitals with international standard facilities can be found in major cities, services can be limited elsewhere. Private hospitals generally require confirmation of insurance or a guarantee of payment before admitting a patient. Costs can be very expensive. Generally, serious illnesses and accidents can be treated at private or public hospitals in Bangkok and other large cities. However, medical evacuation to a destination with the required facilities may be necessary in some cases at considerable cost. Medical tourism Medical tourism, including for cosmetic and sex-change operations, is common in Thailand. Australians should ensure that they are not lured to discount or uncertified medical establishments where standards can be lacking, resulting in serious and possibly life-threatening complications. Travel insurance may not provide coverage. Please refer to http://smartraveller.gov.au/guide/all- travellers/health/Pages/medical-tourism.aspx Prescription medications Some prescription medications available in Australia are controlled substances in Thailand, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor. Restrictions also apply to some over the counter medications available in Australia, including drugs containing codeine.

Forced Migration and its Consequence as a Result of Environmental Change and Natural Disaster in ASEAN 15th December 2011, at 9.00 - 17.30 hrs. Chumpot - Pantip conference room, 4th floor of Prajadhipok Rambhai - Barni building, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand The 2004 Indian ocean Tsunami and the Rehabilitation Policy of the Thai government Assoc. Prof. Suwattana Thadaniti (Ph.D)1 1. Introduction The Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0, occurred at 00.58 GMT on Sunday, December 26, 2004, with an epicenter off the coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. This earthquake was so large that it produced numerous aftershocks, some registering a magnitude of as great as 7.1. This quake displaced massive volumes of water, triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean including Thailand's southern Andaman coast. As a consequent, a colossal tsunami waves struck Thailand's six southern provinces namely, Ranong, Phang-nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun. The first four provinces had been unprecedentedly devastated with high loss of life as well as major damage to the natural environment, marine resources. The damage sustained to the environment was also impacting on thousands of people whose homelands located on those particular areas. The severe impact led to the serious consequences on two major communities, that were, the coastal fishing community and the sea gypsies or so- called Moken community. People's life had worsened, as these two communities depended on the land and the sea for resources to earn income in sectors like tourism and fishing.
