NUNTANA LADPLEE : CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF HOT SPRINGSTOWARD HEALHT TOURISM AND RECREATIONIN KANCHANABURI, THAILAND THESIS ADVISOR : TIPPAWAN TANGPOONSUPSIRI, Ph.D. The dissertation examined the significance and focused two hot spring sites: Hin Dad and Lin Thin hot springs in the watershed called ‘River Kwai Noi Watershed of Thong Pha Phum’ in Kanchanaburi. The study connected between physical environment factors and socio-economic factors. Natural settings are physical environment factors which involved waterscape or/and landscape, animals or/and plants, and topography. Social settings are socio-economic factors that related to accessibility, community and culture within Thong Pha Phum, Kanchanaburi. Both natural and social settings around the hot springs determine good living environmental conditions for community that have the quality of health tourism and recreation in the area. Using its own advantages of natural and social settings, it may become the driving force of health tourism and recreation with concern on sustainable tourism development. The main purpose was to investigate the potential of the hot spring cultural landscape to cater for health tourism and recreation in Kanchanaburi. There were four research objectives: (1) to gather historical development of hot springs as tourism destinations in other continents, (2) to identify settings where natural hot spring and its surroundings are integrated in health tourism and recreation, (3) to explore the cultural landscape of hot spring as a tourism resource, and (4) to propose recommendations for sustainable development of hot spring destination toward health tourism and recreation. The significance was identified through five values: aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and spiritual values. The research studied by combination tools of qualitative research methodology: field study, semi-structured interview, focus group and participant observation. The author’s personal interest on hot spring and spa sectors may motivate its tourism industry in some degree and gain more useful information to drive Thai hot spring tourism, spa business and community-based tourism as well. The ‘Therapy Town’ model recommended for hot spring tourism destination could be as a signature of Thong Pha Phum or elsewhere in the future. E ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to communities and stakeholders in Thong Pha Phum, Kanchanaburi where I have pleasingly experienced throughout my research. Even though, facing COVID-19 situation during 2019-2021 sometimes disturbed my life and discouraged myself. Nevertheless, the success of this dissertation attributed to the support, inspiration and guidance from Professor Emeritus Ken Taylor, Ph.D., from the Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, Research School of Humanities and the Arts, The Australian National University, Canberra. I also would like to express my deepest appreciation to Tippawan Tangpoonsupsiri, Ph.D. and my dissertation committee members of Silpakorn University, for their great support and precious advice. I indeed thank Ms. Thienrat Sakasuoarerk, who have facilitated me throughout the program of Architectural Heritage Management and Tourism. Importantly, I do appreciate my family members: Mrs.Winunta Ladplee, Mr.Preecha Ladplee and my sisters for their tremendous love, encouragement and understanding throughout my life, without them I would not have finished this dissertation.

    Chiang Mai Lampang Lamphun Mae Hong Son Contents Chiang Mai 8 Lampang 26 Lamphun 34 Mae Hong Son 40 View Point in Mae Hong Son Located some 00 km. from Bangkok, Chiang Mai is the principal city of northern Thailand and capital of the province of the same name. Popularly known as “The Rose of the North” and with an en- chanting location on the banks of the Ping River, the city and its surroundings are blessed with stunning natural beauty and a uniquely indigenous cultural identity. Founded in 12 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai has had a long and mostly independent history, which has to a large extent preserved a most distinctive culture. This is witnessed both in the daily lives of the people, who maintain their own dialect, customs and cuisine, and in a host of ancient temples, fascinating for their northern Thai architectural Styles and rich decorative details. Chiang Mai also continues its renowned tradition as a handicraft centre, producing items in silk, wood, silver, ceramics and more, which make the city the country’s top shopping destination for arts and crafts. Beyond the city, Chiang Mai province spreads over an area of 20,000 sq. km. offering some of the most picturesque scenery in the whole Kingdom. The fertile Ping River Valley, a patchwork of paddy fields, is surrounded by rolling hills and the province as a whole is one of forested mountains (including Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon), jungles and rivers. Here is the ideal terrain for adventure travel by trekking on elephant back, river rafting or four-wheel drive safaris in a natural wonderland.

The objectives were (1) to monitoring the quality of the source water, with discharged into the Kwae-om Canal Bang Khonthi District, (2) to study the relationship between the water quality and source of water pollutant, and to determine the factors that affect water quality. Water samples were collected from 41 points (for summer and rainy) and analyzed water quality according to standard methods. The results showed that the water quality does not meet the quality standards of surface water category 3 of the PCD. Seasonal effect on the amount of cadmium in the water. Water temperatures, pH, nitrogen in nitrate, copper, manganese and zinc compounds were met category 3 of the PCD.

Driven by the station data, the Mun-GBHM model is successfully calibrated against the discharge observed in 1991, but the model accuracy decreases with the increase of simulation time during the validation period of 1992–1999. Driven by the TRMM rainfall and other meteorological data from GLDAS, using the same parameters as above, the model performs reliably at both the monthly and daily scale. Moreover, when the model is calibrated with one year of gridded data, its performance can be further improved. Our results demonstrate that TRMM and GLDAS are able to drive the GBHM so providing reliable hydrologic predictions in such data-poor or ungauged basins.

  • But with the Defeat of the Japanese (The Railway) Vanished Forever and Only the Most Lurid Wartime Memories and Stories Remain
    －104－ NOTES ON THE THAI-BURMA RAILWAY PART Ⅳ: "AN APPALLING MASS CRIME" But with the defeat of the Japanese (the railway) vanished forever and only the most lurid wartime memories and stories remain. The region is once again a wilderness, except for a few neatly kept graveyards where many British dead now sleep in peace and dignity. As for the Asians who died there, both Burmese and Japanese, their ashes lie scattered and lost and forgotten forever. - Ba Maw in his diary, "Breakthrough In Burma" (Yale University, 1968). To get the job done, the Japanese had mainly human flesh for tools, but flesh was cheap. Later there was an even more plentiful supply of native flesh - Burmese, Thais, Malays, Chinese, Tamils and Javanese - ..., all beaten, starved, overworked and, when broken, thrown carelessly on that human rubbish-heap, the Railway of Death. -Ernest Gordon, former British POW, in his book, "Miracle on the River Kwai" (Collins, 1963). The Sweat Army, one of the biggest rackets of the Japanese interlude in Burma is an equivalent of the slave labour of Nazi Germany. It all began this way. The Japanese needed a land route from China to Malaya and Burma, and Burma as a member or a future member of the Co-prosperity Sphere was required to contribute her share in the construction of the Burma-Thailand (Rail) Road.... The greatest publicity was given to the labour recruitment campaign. The rosiest of wage terms and tempting pictures of commodities coming in by way of Thailand filled the newspapers. Special medical treatment for workers and rewards for those remaining at home were publicised.
