Full textAbstract:
In the aftermath of Britain's Nuptial Extravaganza celebrating the Union of Prince William and Kate Middleton, comparisons between that event and the profile of the monarchy in Thailand have emerged. Occupying a central and highly visible position in the public domain, Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX, r. 1946–present) is widely held in great esteem. Yet the silencing of republican sentiment in the run-up to the royal wedding in London echoes the measures deployed with increasing regularity and rigor in Thailand under article 112 of the country's penal code, a law against lèse-majesté that effectively suppresses all open criticism of the Thai monarchy. In 2009 an all-time high of 164 lèse-majesté cases were tried in Thailand's Court of First Instance (“Article 112”). The Thai historian and public intellectual Somsak Jeamteerasakul, among others, has argued that these measures create a climate of fear around the discussion of the place and role of the monarchy in contemporary Thailand. This climate also has a bearing on the production and study of literature, on literary analysis, and on approaches to literary and cultural theory in Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a review on Malaysia and Thailand’s view on renewable energy mainly in the area of solar energy. It is based on a survey conducted on random subjects in Malaysia raging from different discipline such as those from RE and non RE industries, and several learning Institution. The survey was conducted on random subject as to create a variance on their given answers. A total of 6,450 Malaysian have answered the survey which is then analyzed and compared with the views and current RE scenario in Thailand. The data analysis for Thailand is obtained from literature review. Based on the analysis, one could conclude that both Malaysia and Thailand are on the same objective which is to expand and cultivate their RE sources and has adapt an alternative method to sustain their energy development.

"The emergence of halal food industry in non-Muslim countries: a case study of Thailand." Journal of Islamic Marketing 11, no. 4 (July 19, 2019): 917–31. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jima-05-2018-0082.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose The paper aims to explore the development of the halal industry in Thailand. It endeavours to investigate the main factors behind the country’s success as one of the largest exporters of halal-certified foods and products in the Southeast Asian region, in spite of the fact that Thailand is a non-Muslim-majority country. Only 4.3 per cent of the 69-million population of Thailand is Muslims. Design/methodology/approach In articulating the issue objectively, qualitative research method was adopted. This paper used structured literature study by analysing various subjects of halal pertaining to Thailand’s halal sector. At the same time, several in-depth interviews with the corresponding halal authorities in Thailand, as well as site visits, were also conducted. We also undertook observations in several sites in Thailand to analyse the issue further. Findings Findings from the research show that the strong presence of Thailand in the global halal industry is because of its bustling tourism industry that helps to bolster the country’s halal branding, its uniformity of halal definition and standards and effective support to the local SMEs. Practical implications This research implies that the standardisation of halal in a country is imperative in the Muslim-majority or Muslim-minority countries. This study gives a benchmark for the non-Muslim-majority countries which endeavour to embark on the halal industry. Muslim-minority counties that envision to succeed in the global halal market could emulate Thailand’s approach in branding itself as a recognised non-Muslim-majority country in producing certified halal foods and products. Originality/value The paper provides guidelines and standards for Muslim-minority countries that envision success in the global halal market.

Water is essential in the Thai-Tai way of life. Thai people in Thailand as well as Tai peoples outside Thailand depend on water for agriculture, domestic daily uses, transportation and recreation. This paper is a result of an in-depth study of the relationship between water, beliefs and literary traditions of the Thai and some ethnic Tai groups. The findings reveal that the Thais and the Tais have religious beliefs involving water concerning four important water beings: first, the water spirit, known as sua nam (เสื้อน้ำ); second, the water serpent known as nguek (เงือก); third, the great serpent or naga (นาค); and fourth; the river of the dead.

Full textAbstract:
Globally, literacy in science has become a fundamental focus of public education. The term ‘scientific literacy’, however, attracts a diversity of views. A common theme in the literature is that it relates to being able to critique scientific discussions. The large-scale evaluation of students' scientific literacy was assessed in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Thailand participated in the PISA scheme every three years from 2000 to 2009. The results indicate that Thailand's performance decreased over the period and were below average. This has led to an increased focus on improving performance and scores and a desire to improve science education and science teaching for enhancing scientific literacy in Thailand. Science educators in universities, the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST), the Ministry of Education and others have organized various projects and research to improve scientific literacy. Research projects have focused on developing teachers' quality in science teaching and have gone on to consider the nature of science, contexts of science, socio-scientific issues and the relation between science, technology and society. The article will discuss the strategies that have been embarked upon to enhance scientific literacy in Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
Based on the results of the research in 2004, this article aims to suggest a guideline to developan appropriate approach of sustainable architectural design in Thailand. Rather than creating a checklist,this article points out the areas that are commonly ignored by the current approaches of Thai sustainablearchitecture. The analysis is based upon literature review of books, articles, and reports coveringissues related to sustainable development and sustainable, ecological, and green architecture. Theprogress of sustainable development and sustainable architectural design at national and internationallevels are reviewed and analyzed with an intention to compare sustainable architectural design inThailand with a concept of sustainable development and the international theory of sustainable design.Three images that characterize different approaches of sustainable architectural design in Thailand arebuilding technology/energy conservation, culture/vernacular architecture, and community and urbanplanning. According to the study, the approaches of Thai sustainable design are limited and cannotcapture the whole idea of the international concerns toward sustainability. In order to make sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand more comparable to the international approach as well as suitable forThai context and the country’s policy, such as the “Sufficiency Economy” concept, sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand should be more developed and integrate those international concernswith Thailand’s approaches.

Full textAbstract:
Blockchain technology, a decentralized database that encourages collaboration, transparency, and security, is popular in Thailand, as seen from many practical projects. Nevertheless, information about Thailand’s blockchain ecosystem is incomplete. We conducted literature reviews of research articles, education courses, and industry projects, to explore blockchain from the technology adoption flow including academic research, knowledge acquisition, and project implementation. Blockchain research articles were collected from the Scopus database, while projects and courses were retrieved from an internet search. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 13 research articles, 50 courses, and 54 industry projects, dated from 2016 to 2020, were included in our review. Based on an analysis with respect to trends, focuses, and characteristics in all three aspects, we found that blockchain technology in Thailand was in its infancy, but has been increasing in numbers and domain varieties. However, blockchain technology did not move towards the same direction for all aspects. Most research articles were found in government services, supply chain, and traceability domains; while most projects were in the financial domains. We offer possible explanations for this observation. This paper provides challenges and opportunities for the research community and involved parties in practical implementation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the successes of Thailand’s healthcare system along with challenges it is facing, examining documents and policies used by those charged with developing and implementing health services. Design/methodology/approach The search pool comprised PubMed and Google Scholar from the period 2001-2015. Selection criterion for inclusion was sources dealing with out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure and healthcare utilization in Thailand. In total, 33 studies met the criterion of containing sufficient data to be included in the meta-analysis. Findings The authors found a small positive effect size on OOP expenditure and healthcare utilization, obtaining values of 0.1604 (95% CI 0.1320-0.1888, p<0.0001) and 0.2788 (95% CI 0.0917-0.4659, p=0.0035), respectively. Originality/value To review and meta-analyze the literature dealing with the outcomes of Thailand’s healthcare system to understand whether Thailand’s healthcare system is achieving its mandate or not. The results of this paper can help policy makers to understand and evaluate Thailand’s healthcare system.

Full textAbstract:
Generation Z has been said to have more in common with their global generational cohort than they do with their parents. The 24/7 access to information, through increasingly ubiquitous Internet access, has been credited as the facilitator of the spread of generational values and characteristics. While this may apply to Generation Z in many developed countries, does it apply in developing nations such as Thailand? For example, by the year 2015, only 40 percent of the Thai population had access to the Internet. Thus, this study attempts to understand to what extent proclaimed Generation Z characteristics and values ring true for a segment of Thai youth with the necessary access to and corresponding usage of connected technology. A literature review was conducted of both English and Thai language literature. Thai Generation Z university students were surveyed, and the results were analyzed using structural equation modeling. On the one hand, the results did support an affinity toward technology, on the other hand, it suggested that Thai youth valued and used the technology differently than their generational cohort in the west, especially concerning content creation. Furthermore, they differed from their global cohort in their preference for collectivism. They also differed from national cultural expectations as they showed tendencies toward low power distance. Finally, work values were largely consistent with international generational expectations in that they showed the strongest preference toward intrinsic and altruistic rewards. It will be essential for Human Resources (HR) to communicate these rewards to attract and retain this next generation of employees. This article contributes to the greater cross-cultural management scholarship by filling a gap in understanding the cultural and work values of a generational cohort in Thailand. It does this by highlighting the institutional and cultural setting this cohort came of age in and surveys cohort members to understand their values and preferences.

<p>Pali plays a vital role in the history and culture of India. It preserves the Indian culture in a systematic way. Hence an attempt of understanding the Indian culture without Pali cannot fulfil the complete purpose. In fact Pali was an important source for understanding ancient Buddhist culture and philosophy which are integral part of Indian culture. In ancient India there were Buddhist universities and people from many countries used to visit India to learn the Indian culture including Buddhist philosophical expositions. Indian languages and literatures were highly influenced by Pali language and literature.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Obesity is becoming a universal healthcare problem. The role of endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies is emerging in the management of obesity and its related conditions. The endoscopic treatment can be used as a primary weight loss procedure and a revision procedure after bariatric surgery. While the prevalence of obesity has been rising over the past two decades in Thailand, the treatment options have been limited to diet and exercise, pharmacological treatment, and bariatric surgery until recently. In 2020, an endoscopic full-thickness suturing device was introduced to Thailand, leading to successful endoscopic bariatric therapy using a suturing device in Thai patients. This article intends to report the first successful endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and transoral outlet reduction in Thailand with a mini-review focusing on these two procedures' outcomes.

Journal of Architectural/Planning Research and Studies (JARS) 15, no. 1 (September 3, 2018): 1–16. http://dx.doi.org/10.56261/jars.v15i1.154189.
Full textAbstract:
This article reviews the impact of Online Vacation Rental Platforms (OVRPs) on vacation condominium rentals and the hotel industry in Thailand and discusses the legal implications of the OVRP use. The literature reviews are providing explanations of Thailand’s laws involving OVRPs and exploring current connections between hotels, vacation condominiums and online rental platforms, using case studies and examples. We find that OVRPs provide short-term rentals in most vacation condominiums at popular tourist destinations in Thailand. According to the Thai Civil and Commercial Code, B.E. 2551, the owners of such properties have the right to lease their property, but rentals of less than 30 days constitute an infringement of the Hotel Act, B.E. 2547. Case studies from other countries suggest that OVRPs may have positive as well as negative impacts on the hotel industry, and may also generate indirect benefits for other industries such as tourism and real estate development. Increasingly, vacation condominiums in Thailand are attracting individual investors, many of them foreigners, for the short-term rental market via OVRPs. This development not only undermines the Hotel Act, B.E. 2547 but also poses various risks for hosts, guests, co-owners and potential condominium buyers – risks which are not currently addressed by applicable Thai law. Areas identified as requiring further research regarding the impacts and legal implications of OVRPs in Thailand include: (i) balance of positive and negative impacts of OVRPs on Thai economy and society; (ii) impacts of OVRPs on the vacation condominium market in Thailand; and (iii) merits of amending the legal issues to cover the OVRPs rentals.

Full textAbstract:
The craft beer movement and craft beer tourism are a new global phenomenon that has reached various parts of the world. However, the literature on craft beer tourism mostly focuses on traditional origins of craft beer in Western countries—the US, Australia, and European countries. This research note illustrates how a study of the Thai craft beer movement and craft beer tourism could contribute to the existing body of knowledge. The consumption of non-Western people in non-Western places has been underrepresented in the literature of food and beverage tourism. The craft beer movement has spread to Thailand via urban middle-class Thais who brought the passion for and knowledge of home brewing from the West to Thailand. Brewing lessons, brewery visits, and craft beer events/ festivals have functioned as community building activities for Thai craft beer enthusiasts as well as the main craft beer distribution channel. Craft beer consumption continues to grow despite the Thai alcoholic production law that prohibits home brewing. For future studies, different craft beer tourism activities in Thailand should be analyzed for 1) the adoption of the experience economy framework, 2) the formation of the consumption community, 3) the roles of various stakeholders who differentially contribute to and benefit from craft beer tourism activities, and 4) the role of foreign tourists in the development of craft beer tourism in Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to investigate how Bangkok is represented in contemporary Thai literature, including those works by such authors of renown as Chamlong Fangcholachit, Prabda Yoon, and Paritas Hutangkul. Through the perspectives of these contemporary authors, Bangkok has been used as a poignant setting to showcase the problems and conditions of urbanism in Thailand. The paper aims to focus on three main issues of representation, which are not completely separated but closely intertwined: (1) Bangkok as a hub of globalization, where cultural forces, especially those from the West, clash with local knowledge and wisdom; (2) Bangkok as a major tourist destination, where the tourist’s imagination of Bangkok and Thailand as an exotic place jars with the realities they actually face upon their arrival; and (3) Bangkok as a city of capitalism and consumerism, where urban people define themselves through their conspicuous consumption. Contemporary Thai literature, especially those works in the last two decades, make manifest the complexity of these three issues as well as how these issues affect urban dwellers in their everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
In the past, India’s resolve to connect with countries further to its east centred on its relationship with ASEAN as a group and lacked a holistic outlook as it emphasised on a lopsided approach that left out the security dimension. The bilateral relationship between Bangkok and New Delhi marks an emerging departure from this past trend. In the recent past, Thailand has emerged as a bright spot in India’s vast array of security relationships, with growing focus on maritime security, counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations, joint patrols and exchange of personnel in training. Besides boosting interoperability, increasing joint actions seek to marry India’s Act East policy with Thailand’s Look West policy, both of which emerged in the past decade of the twentieth century. Both countries look to strengthening their resolve in the Indo-Pacific, even as the region’s stability gets further complicated by sharpening Great Power politics. This article scrutinises the India–Thailand relationship from a security perspective and tests the compatibility of this emerging bilateral relationship with a regional security architecture conceptualisation in the Indo-Pacific. As such, this article seeks to fulfil two important goals: fill the literature deficit in India–Thailand relations that has often been eclipsed and subsequently neglected by the overarching canvass of India–ASEAN relations and analyse India–Thailand bilateral relations from the perspective of an emerging security partnership in the complex labyrinth of relationships in the Indo-Pacific.

Full textAbstract:
This article revisits the Dusun Nyoir rebellion of April 1948. My primary objective is to fill gaps missed by others whom I have learnt much from. Few familiar with the wider geography of violence in South Thailand are unaware of connections between this and the coordinated attacks on April 28 2004, which included the employment of Malay magic. This article demonstrates the importance of commitments to both conducting fieldwork in conservative rural communities and interacting with the secondary literature. The former revealed connections between Haji Mat Karae (who led the Dusun Nyoir rebellion) and Kyai Salleh active in Batu Pahat before the return of the British in 1945. Equally importantly, engaging in both ethnographic fieldwork and the relevant secondary literature brought into focus case studies of Malay rebellion having occurred during epochs of geo-political chaos throughout the Thai-Malay Peninsula, which those concerned with the political chaos caused by Thailand’s disorderly state have missed.

The purpose of this research was to study the relationship among factors influencing the hotel staff in Thailand’s intention to quit using the structural equation model gained from the review of related literature. The factors included quality of work life, perceived organizational culture, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and intention to quit. The population was the hotel staff in Thailand of which 908 were selected as subjects. The instrument used was a questionnaire with the reliability between 0.614-0.918. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the structural equation model was analyzed using SPSS and LISREL. The results revealed that the supervisors had higher levels of work life quality, perceived organizational culture, job satisfaction and organizational commitment than the non-supervisors. Job satisfaction had the highest direct effect and the highest total effect. The variables in the model could explain the 56% of the variance (R2) of the intention to quit.

Full textAbstract:
Background Dengue is the fastest-spreading vector-borne viral disease worldwide. In Thailand, dengue is endemic and is associated with a high socioeconomic burden. A systematic literature review was conducted to assess and describe the epidemiological and economic burden of dengue in Thailand. Methods Epidemiological and economic studies published in English and Thai between 2011–2019 and 2009–2019, respectively, were searched in MEDLINE, Embase, and Evidence-Based Medicines reviews databases. Reports published by the National Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and other grey literature sources were also reviewed. Identified studies were screened according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Extracted data were descriptively summarised and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results A total of 155 publications were included in the review (39 journal articles and 116 grey literature). Overall, dengue incidence varied yearly, with the highest rates per 100,000 population in 2013 (dengue fever (DF) 136.6, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) 100.9, dengue shock syndrome (DSS) 3.58) and 2015 (DF 133.1, DHF 87.4, DSS 2.14). Peak incidence coincided with the monsoon season, and annual mortality was highest for DSS, particularly in the age group 15–24-year-olds. The highest dengue incidence rates were reported in children (10–14-year-olds) and young adults (15-24-year-olds), irrespective of dengue case definition. Economic and societal burdens are extensive, with the average cost per case ranging from USD 41 to USD 261, total cost per year estimated at USD 440.3 million, and an average of 7.6 workdays lost for DHF and 6.6 days for DF. Conclusions The epidemiological, economic, and societal burden of dengue in Thailand is high and underreported due to gaps in national surveillance data. The use of expansion factors (EFs) is recommended to understand the true incidence of dengue and cost-benefit of control measures. Furthermore, as dengue is often self-managed and underreported, lost school and workdays result in substantial underestimation of the true economic and societal burden of dengue. The implementation of integrated strategies, including vaccination, is critical to reduce the disease burden and may help alleviate health disparities and equity challenges posed by dengue.

Full textAbstract:
In Thailand spirit houses are often established at places of fatal accidents, but these are generally anonymous. Personalized roadside memorials for accident victims are rare. This article analyses three roadside memorials, located on main roads in northeastern Thailand, in a comparative framework. Like in the contemporary West, such memorials commemorate a suddenly and violently killed person, but manifest a dynamics very different from that of Western roadside memorials: rather than private and temporary, these are permanent shrines, in which the spirit of the deceased is worshipped and supplicated by members of the public. The spirits and their shrines tend to become incorporated into the popular Thai magico-religious complex. While the literature offers a binary distinction between formal public monuments and informal, private and temporary (roadside) memorials, it is suggested that the informal, but public and permanent memorial shrines in Thailand exemplify a third type of edifices to commemorate the deceased in road accidents.

Thailand is one of the most famous kingdoms in Southeast Asia that still exists today. The Kingdom of Thailand comes from the original name “Muang Thai” (formerly called Siam). Islam grew in Thailand is the fruit of a long process. Since the 9th century, Islam has entered Thai society with limited conditions. Islamic teachings have grown and existed in Thailand through various historical events from the classical period (9th century) to modern times (early 21st century). This study aims to explore the history of the development of Islam and the conflicts that occurred in Thailand. The research method used in this article is a critical historical method with a literature study approach. The description of the conflict and its accommodation process that occurred in Thailand is expected to be used as an additional academic reference and an example for relevant stakeholders to stimulate inter-religious harmony in Indonesia, given the issues of tolerance and radicalism that had surfaced. Thailand merupakan salah satu kerajaan tersohor di Asia Tenggara yang masih eksis hingga saat ini. Kerajaan Thailand berasal dari nama asli “Muang Thai” (sebelumnya disebut Siam). Agama Islam tumbuh di Thailand merupakan buah dari proses yang cukup panjang. Sejak abad ke 9, Islam sudah masuk ke masyarakat Thailand dengan kondisi terbatas. Ajaran Islam telah tumbuh dan eksis di Thailand melalui berbagai peristiwa sejarah dari masa klasik (abad 9) hingga masa modern (awal abad 21). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi sejarah perkembangan Islam, asimilasi, dan konflik yang terjadi di Thailand. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah metode sejarah kritis dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Deskripsi konflik dan proses akomodasinya yang terjadi di Thailand diharapkan dapat dijadikan sebagai referensi akademis tambahan dan salah satu contoh bagi stakeholder terkait untuk menstimulasikan kerukunan antar umat beragama di Indonesia mengingat isu toleransi dan radikalisme sempat mengemuka.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the effects of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) on responsible tourism consumption behavior, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and empirical investigation. A three-pronged approach (a cross validation technique involving a literature review, expert interviews, and an exploratory field study) was employed to obtain reliable and valid results. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to confirm the conceptual framework and hypotheses. Findings revealed a positive relationship between perceived behavioral control (PBC) and intention. Intention’s mediating role in responsible tourism consumption was also supported. eWOM’s positive, indirect effect on responsible tourism consumption emerged apart from the literature. The outcomes provide useful information for governments, the private sector, and civil society in planning and implementing sustainable consumption activities to achieve overall development for sustainable tourism. By proposing a conceptual framework based on TPB and utilizing the three-pronged approach, eWOM’s effects emerged as a valid extension of TPB. This study is among the first to be conducted in developing country and in the context of tourism in Thailand, where the primary focus is Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #12: responsible consumption and production.

Social Networking Services (SNSs) allow individuals and small online retailers to engage in consumer-to-consumer social commerce (C2C s-commerce). It is a growing phenomenon in Thailand. This article seeks to articulate the driving forces behind the massive growth of C2C s-commerce in Thailand. Our preliminary literature review and observation reveal a set of interrelated drivers or dimensions fueling this growth: personality and motivation, user-generated content, ICT, and virtual community management. We postulate that these drivers are the main building blocks for C2C s-commerce adoption in Thailand. Researchers and practitioners can refer to these dimensions as they seek to reexamine C2C s-commerce in the context of Thailand or other emerging economies.Keywords: consumer-to-consumer (C2C), s-commerce, driving forces, Facebook, motivation, personality, social networking sites, social commerce, virtual community

Full textAbstract:
Cassava-chip is considered one of Thailand’s most important economic crops and Thailand is the world’s largest cassava products exporter. Thai government is prioritizing the cassava production in their “Mega farm” strategy in support of agricultural economic and collaboration between farmer, public and private sectors. The collaborative model is an integrated supply chain that manages the multiple stakeholders. Moreover, implementing the collaborative supply chain (CSC) has improve overall performance of the entire supply chain. The study aims to review existing literature on collaborative model and critical success factors in the agriculture supply chain context during 2008-2018 and the 20-year agriculture and cooperatives strategy (2017-2036). The six key collaborative success factors are identified: Business Management, Information Technology, Value Added Process, SC Relationship, Top Management Commitment, Partnership, Service Quality, Process, Resource Capability, Environment Uncertainties, Customer Satisfaction. The hypothesis will be tested by the linear regression analysis and develop the prototype of CSC mobile application to create the collaboration in cassava chip industry. Then, the result will be embedded into mobile application. The application will later be used to provide more appropriate third-party system to enhance the collaborative cassava chip supply chain in Thailand. The result shows that all components are supported by the hypothesis and user acceptance test.

Thailand’s economic performance has historically been determined by the frequency and severity of political de-stability by government collapses mostly organized through army coups. This study investigated the theoretical and empirical literature political uncertainty and economic slowdown arising out of the last coup and caretaker government enforcing the emergency decree to maintain peace and order and the caretaker government being in power until the general elections were held in 2019. This paper scrutinizes the impact of political instability, macroeconomic and bank-specific factors on the performance of leading Thai banks in the context of Thailand. The study selected only two out of top 4 private banks due to the availability of data for the uncertainty period ranging from 2014 to 2018 until elections were held a year later. The study used 8 common measures of bank performance and profitability along with descriptive analyses. Using happiness index as qualitative standpoint and also comparing financial variables with rating agencies prediction, various reports including the Bank of Thailand, the study also presents some new results and a robustness analysis. Our study concludes that political uncertainty was a significant contributor for erratic bank performance.

There are approximately five million Muslims in Thailand (7 percent of the total population), with about 1.8 million in the southernmost provinces bordering on Malaysia. A considerable literature in history, anthropology, political science, international relations, and religious studies has been produced since January 4, 2004, when a violent Muslim insurgency dramatically erupted in the area. At that time over 100 Muslim insurgents raided an arms depot of the Fourth Army Engineers in Narathiwat Province. On January 22, in south Thailand, two Muslim young men on a motorcycle used a long knife to slit the throat of a sixty-four-year-old Buddhist monk, killing him. The monk had just returned from his early morning round of tham bun (alms-collecting extending merit to Buddhist families).

AbstractObjectivesTo explore health technology assessment (HTA) in Thailand focusing on its institutionalization, key elements for HTA introduction, and HTA contribution to policy.MethodsA review of literature covered a wide range of topics, including the institutionalization of HTA, elements of HTA introduction, and the role of HTA in policy decision making in Thai context. Additional information from the authors’ involvement in the policy decision-making process in Thailand was also considered.ResultsHTA institutionalization comprises processes of introducing HTA, including evidence generation and use in policymaking, building capacity of HTA practitioners, organizations, system infrastructure, and collaborations. In Thailand, HTA has been formally integrated into coverage decisions, including in the development of the National List of Essential Medicines and the Universal Health Coverage Scheme benefits package. Contributing factors included political will and leadership, capacity building on HTA-related disciplines, adequate resources, technical expertise, and data. Conversely, challenges faced included the absence of a governing body and strategic plan for HTA systems development, a lack of formal mechanisms for mobilizing financial support, an inadequate number of HTA researchers in nonprofit institutes, and the rise in advanced biotechnologies.ConclusionsHTA plays an important role in evidence-based healthcare decision making. However, key elements of HTA institutionalization need to be strengthened, especially governance structure and policy for HTA systems development, building and retaining capacity of HTA practitioners to meet demand, addressing the challenges of complex and highly innovative health interventions. Lessons learned from the Thai experience may be used as guidance for HTA institutionalization in other developing countries.

Thailand is a primary tourist destination known for its culture and tradition, dazzling cityscapes, profound nature immersions, excellent beaches as well as food. The food and beverage industry in Thailand has seen growth in both manufacturing and export sectors in 2021 yet, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in this sector are facing immense pressure to compete and grow their businesses as they overcome the hurdles of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many large firms today in Thailand grew from SMEs, hence the sustainability and growth of SMEs may lie through the application of management accounting practices (MAPs). Based on the review of past literature, this study aimed to investigate the relationships of variables such as competitive strategy, total quality management, organization structure and just-in-time on MAPs of SMEs in the food and beverage industry of Thailand. Data was collected using online questionnaires from 145 respondents ranging from business owners, managers, and accountants from SMEs in Thailand. The results of this study found that competitive strategy and total quality management had significant positive relationships with MAPs in the Thailand SMEs food and beverage industry. The scientific novelty of this research is that both organizational structure and just-in-time were insignificant. The implications of the research findings of this study are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
As one of the prominent Mahayana Buddhist institutions from Taiwan, Fo Guang Shan (FGS) entered the religious market of Thailand as early as the 1990s. Its influence has grown tremendously among the local Chinese communities and Thai society. Despite this, there is a dearth of scholarship dedicated to FGS’s market expansion in Theravada-dominated Thailand. Through a SWOT analysis, this paper explores FGS’s marketing strategy for the Thai religious market. The findings suggest that FGS bears certain strengths, such as its appealing humanistic Buddhist doctrine, gift-giving networking skills and its strong emotional bonds with the Chinese communities in Thailand. These strengths have brought and will continuously provide FGS with opportunities for further expansion. However, FGS’s weakness is always there and obvious, given its foreign and non-mainstream nature and questionable legitimacy of existing as a Buddhist institution (or temple) in Thailand. All this has already caused threats to FGS’s missionary clergies and sanctuaries, mainly based in the Bangkok area, not to mention the growingly fierce competition from its Thai Theravada and local-born Mahayana counterparts.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find the rate of intergenerational transmission of human capital and comparative schooling attainment between lower and higher income families using the labor force survey in Thailand. Design/methodology/approach Instrumental variable (IV) approach has been used in this paper. The author proposed an alternative instrument for parental education to identify the rate of transmission, which is the parents’ cohorts’ mean schooling in their respective provinces. Findings This paper found that the rate of transmission of human capital from father is higher than that from mother in Thailand. For both, the rate of transmission in Thailand is higher than that in the developed countries. In addition, it is found that children from lower income families are getting lesser education than those from higher income families in Thailand. Research limitations/implications This paper is used as an alternative instrument that could solve the endogeneity problem in the literature of intergenerational transmission of human capital. Practical implications The results of rate of transmission can help to make educational policies in countries like Thailand. It also could help the policymakers to evaluate and redesign the student loan scheme (SLS) in Thailand. Originality/value This study is used as an alternative instrument for parental education to identify the rate of transmission in an IV approach. This paper is the first to identify the intergenerational transmission rate in Thailand. In addition, it evaluates Thai SLS in an intergenerational framework.

Abstract. The non-marine Mesozoic sedimentary rocks of Thailand, which consist of the Indochina block and the Sibumasu block, have yielded several terrestrial and aquatic vertebrate fossils, but only few amphibian remains have been reported. Here, we present an overview on the Thai amphibian palaeo-diversity based on the literature, re-examination of published material, new findings, and unpublished material. Thai amphibian fossil remains are assigned to Stereospondyli (Cyclotosauridae, Plagiosauridae, and Brachyopoidea) and Anura and were discovered from four formations, ranging from the Upper Triassic to Lower Cretaceous of Thailand. The occurrence of Brachyopidae in Thailand, which are related to Chinese forms, supports the previous hypothesis of physical connections between the Indochina blocks and the Sibumasu block during the Mesozoic era.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to examine how outbound Maldivian travellers who have received a medical service in any hospital in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, or Malaysia perceive the quality of the service levels. A survey questionnaire was used to gather cross-sectional data from 400 outbound medical travellers from the Maldives. Respondents who received overseas medical treatment at any hospital in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, or Malaysia were included in a random sampling selection. SPSS 25.00, and AMOS version 23.00 used for data analysis, including structural equation modelling. The findings reveals that the service quality dimension of tangible, empathy, efficiency, and safety positively and significantly influence hospital service quality. Contrarily, the level of improvement in medical care has a negligible effect. Hospitals in Thailand and Malaysia have overall service quality perceptions scores of 91.8 and 84.6 per cent, respectively, which is higher than those in India and Sri Lanka, indicating 67.2 and 77.6 per cent, respectively. The study highlights the necessity of improving hospital efficiency and safety in India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia. This empirical study supports new findings of hospital service quality. As a result, academics may supplement their analyses of previously published literature with new data and empirical support from the medical industry in South Asia. The findings of this study minimise knowledge, empirical, and population gaps seen in recent literature on medical service quality related to outbound medical travellers from the Maldives.
