Our quirky Frontier Town (Nakhon Phanom) is the perfect place to use as a base for adventure, research, exploration, chill-out and more: * The most spectacular river-caves in the world are across the Mekong in Laos * Ancient stone walls (equal to those in Angkor Wat) can be found meandering the Mekong * Relics of the Buddha are enshrined in many of the Khmer-style temples throughout the region * The Rua-Fai-Festival to honour the Naga-spirit is awesome, and the means for making these candle-lit boats remains unchanged for centuries * Chill-out could be a day (or days) wandering among Mom & Pop restaurants providing deliciously healthy food, in unforgettable ambiance -- and the modest costs will also surprise you * Beautiful pictures to enhance each subject. This part of Thailand, Isaan, remains remote. The formidable power of iPads/eReaders harness the technology, and Frontier Towns provides the information, so that visitors can enjoy unique and unforgettable days in Frontier Towns on the Mekong.
Book Synopsis Thriving - LifeStyles with Love! by : Sheba Suphannahong
Download or read book Thriving - LifeStyles with Love! written by Sheba Suphannahong and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thriving - LifeStyles with Love! A collection of short stories for inspiration. "Wonderful little Pepper-Uppers." Each saga is shaped as a photo-essay and most need only a few minutes to read. A different way to get a glimpse into the every-day life in Thailand - a travelogue. These are a few of the people that have left particularly large impressions. Knowing them has provided inspiration, energy and verve; perhaps through this book, others will also benefit. Each novella shines a light on some events that stands out over the years. This is not an endeavor to bestow the title of "angel" upon anyone; rather it offers a look into everyday life. Thriving - LifeStyles with Love includes people living in meager situations as well as University Professors, techies, owners of family enterprises, and many more. It is their generosity of spirit, which cuts across all social levels and professions (also contributing much to a better life and society) that makes them so special. A popular expression in Thailand goes like this (phonetic translation into English): Kon Thai ben khon jai dee! Thai people have a kind heart! These stories delight and shine a light on the benefits from these kind-hearts.

Book Synopsis Extracting Development by : Oliver Tappe
Download or read book Extracting Development written by Oliver Tappe and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resource extraction is currently shaping Southeast Asian landscapes and people’s lives to an unprecedented degree. This volume explores old and new resource frontiers, their effect on local economies and social relations, and questions of (contested) resource control and governance. Case studies from Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia, illustrate the predicament of globalized extractivism processes in the region, particularly (but not only) with regard to China’s rising geopolitical and -economic influence, most prominently expressed by the Belt and Road Initiative. Discussing transboundary investments in land and water reserves, and localized commodification processes of agrarian resources, this volume not only investigates the competing actors and discourses of resource extraction in Southeast Asia. What is more, the different case studies shed light on the contingent outcomes on the ground of transregional economic dynamics and related socio-ecological transformations. Combining macro perspectives with fine-grained micro-scale studies, this volume offers a multi-faceted picture of extractivism in contemporary Southeast Asia.

Book excerpt: First Published in 1991.During its last decades, the Kingdom of Laos was inhabited by a gentle people with a few astonishingly able leaders.

It will comprise some two dozen volumes, of which some provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a particular period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The Series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.
Book Synopsis Thailand and the Southeast Asian Networks of The Vietnamese Revolution, 1885-1954 by : Christopher E. Goscha
Download or read book Thailand and the Southeast Asian Networks of The Vietnamese Revolution, 1885-1954 written by Christopher E. Goscha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Goscha resituates the Vietnamese revolution and war against the French into its Asian context. Breaking with nationalist and colonial historiographies which have largely locked Vietnam into 'Indochinese' or 'Nation-state' straightjackets, Goscha takes Thailand as his point of departure for exploring how the Vietnamese revolution was intimately linked to Asia between the birth of the 'Save the King Movement' in 1885 and the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. But his study is more than just a political history. Goscha brings geography to bear on his subject with a passion. While he considers the little-known political movements of such well-known faces as Phan Boi Chau and Ho Chi Minh across Southeast Asia, the author takes us into the complex Asian networks stretching from northeastern Thailand and the port of Bangkok to southern China and Hong Kong - and beyond. There, we see how Ho and Chau drew upon an invisible army of Vietnamese and Chinese traders, criminals, prostitutes, sailors and above all the thousands of emigres living in Vietnamese communities in Thailand.
