The raid comes after an early crackdown at the private zoo in January 2018, when Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) officials had confiscated scores of locally protected species including red pandas and monkeys such as grey-shanked doucs.

The surviving tigers were taken to the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation's (DNP) Chulaphorn Wildlife Captive Breeding Centre in the Si Sa Ket province.

Authorities said that the Zoo's licence would be suspended for 90 days. 'The authorities have done a great job looking into the legality of this tiger ownership,' said Maethinee Phassaraudomsak, a researcher at animal rights NGO Traffic. 'We hope investigations reveal the true provenance of the tigers and spurs checks on all animals held at this facility.' There have been a series of cases involving the illegal trade of captive tigers and Thai zoos. In 2016, Thai authorities raided the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi province that had been suspected of illegally breeding and trading in tigers. Over 130 live tigers, more than 40 dead tiger cubs, tiger pelts and 1,500 tiger skin amulets were among the wildlife products seized. Over half - 58 per cent - of the Tigers seized in Thailand between 2000 and 2018 originated from captive breeding facilities - largely involving whole carcasses and live animals, with the largest proportion coming from the 2016 seizure, according to Traffic. In 2017, a dozen tigers were seized from a pig farm in Chon Buri province where several species of wildlife had been kept illegally. 'Today's actions are very much in line with the global call for better record keeping, monitoring and enforcement of captive tiger facilities taken at CITES(1), to prevent laundering or leakage of animals into the illegal trade,' said Kanitha Krishnasamy, Director for Traffic in Southeast Asia.

FEATURE-Football In Hijab: Thai Muslim Lesbians Tackle Stereotypes

2021-01-01T22:09:30Z

LeomaS1872120:

By Rina Chandran PATTANI, Thailand, Nov 30 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A nticha Sangchai did not come out to her family until she was 30 and married with a child. It was her own struggle confronting the conservative community in southern Thailand that led her to create a place where women like her might feel more at home. In the bookshop she set up in Pattani city, discussions on gender and sexuality led to the birth of Buku Football Club for lesbian, bisexual and queer (LBQ) girls and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan] women four years ago. Buku means book in Malay - and the club is now thriving. Last month, Buku FC hosted its first LBQ futsal tournament, a hardcourt game similar to five-a-side football. Among six teams from three southern provinces, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] many players wore hijab and were cheered on by family in the stands. That would have been unthinkable when she was growing up, Anticha said. "Football is very popular in Thailand, yet not many girls play it - especially Muslim girls, who face more hurdles because many consider it a sin," said Anticha, 43, who was raised Buddhist in the Muslim-majority province. "Playing football allows them to be free, be themselves, and also helps them face up to the bullying and bias they face," she said, watching a Buku FC team take on a rival team. Thailand, a largely conservative Buddhist society, is known for its relaxed attitude towards gender and sexual diversity, with homosexuality decriminalised as early as 1956. Yet LGBT+ people face widespread discrimination, particularly outside the country's capital Bangkok, and are often rejected by their families, human rights activists say. Like Safiyah Awea, 22, a member of Buku FC for three years, whose father is an imam - a Muslim religious leader - and had opposed both her playing football and identifying as lesbian. So Safiyah left home, cut her hair short, and only wears a hijab at work and at religious functions. "I don't see a conflict between my faith and my lesbian identity or my playing football," she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation alongside her team mates. "But I don't engage with people who question my belief, as their minds cannot be changed," said Safiyah, dressed in shorts and a Buku FC jersey. OPEN DISCUSSION The Thai cabinet earlier this year approved a Civil Partnership Bill that would recognise same-sex unions with almost the same legal rights as married couples. The legislation, which is awaiting parliamentary approval, would make Thailand only the second place in Asia to allow registration of same-sex unions, with couples able to adopt children, and with rights to inheritance and property ownership. LGBT+ Thais are increasingly visible in politics, with last year's election bringing four LGBT+ first-time lawmakers, as well as the first transgender candidate for prime minister. Young LGBT+ Thais have also been a big part of ongoing anti-government protests, pressing their demand for equality. These are key to greater acceptance, said Anticha, who wants to marry her partner as soon as the law allows. She and other LGBT+ campaigners favour an equal marriage law, which the government has shied away from, as it would require a change to the Civil Code to amend the description of marriage, now defined as between a man and a woman. "Our goal is equal marriage at the end. But we choose to go step by step - like many other countries have done," said Nareeluc Pairchaiyapoom, director of the international human rights division in the Ministry of Justice. "It is a big change for Thai society. People will take time to understand and accept - and we need to reach a compromise with religious groups and others," she said, without giving a timeline for the bill's passage. Anticha said religion - particularly Islam - complicates the question for the LBQ players at Buku FC. "The question of reconciling being Muslim and LBQ comes up often, and the takeaway generally is that they should have the right to be themselves, no matter what religious belief they have," she said. "In making my intention of marrying my partner public (on social media), I wanted to show the community you can choose how to live your life and live openly," said Anticha, who teaches religion and philosophy at a university in Pattani. SHINY SEQUINS The Buku FC club began with about 20 members, and now has more than 70. Members meet for three hours on Saturday and Sunday, except during the holy month of Ramadan. Anticha and other staff also offer counselling for families if requested. With two regional tournaments this year, which Anticha hopes will become a regular annual feature, Buku FC has secured the support of local authorities, as well. "A tournament like this helps us reach the larger community, who otherwise don't acknowledge or accept us," she said. "It is a chance for them to see how confident the girls are, how we are not that different from anyone else," she said. Fadila Ponsa, 16, is among the newest members of Buku FC, having joined just a month earlier. "It feels very empowering to play football, and to be with other girls like me who are not straight," she said. "I don't think Islam has a problem with girls playing football or being gay," said Fadila, who wore a black hijab with coloured sequins, and shorts over black leggings. For others in Buku FC, the tug of war between religion, their sexual identity and football takes longer to resolve. "Islam does not allow my identity, and says it's a sin. My family also think it's wrong. But I want to be myself," said Najmee Taniong, 26, [http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=dressed dressed] in shorts and a jersey. "Being Muslim is who I am. Being lesbian and a footballer is also who I am. I don't think there should be a conflict between these, or that I should be forced to choose between them."

The Next Big Thing In Teach English In Thailand With TEFL Or TESOL Certificate

2021-01-01T00:50:21Z

LeomaS1872120:

Compared to some of the other locations for TEFL learning in Asia, teaching in Thailand makes for a unique opportunity. Here, as a teacher you get to access some of the most incredible landscapes seen anywhere around the world while earning wages that permit a more than comfortable lifestyle with considerable amount of savings. The warmth of the Thai people perhaps makes for the best part of the experience, mattering little whether you are someone just passing through towards greener pastures or serving in the position of a long-term teacher. Either way, it is a certainty that you will feel welcome in the country. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();Requirements to teach TESOL course Thailand As has been the case with some of the other Asian countries, the teaching requirements for a TEFL or TESOL course depend largely on whom you are asking. To this day, there exists a degree of discrepancy between what your employer will ask of you and what you will legally be required to do in order to work. Here is a look at some of the things you will essentially require for obtaining a work permit from the immigration authorities: Certified degree and transcript from a 4-year program degree college IELTS score of 5+ if you belong to a non-native English-speaking country Non-immigrant "B" Visa Any other relevant and supporting documentation Degree and transcript The original degree will eventually be asked for as you can do only so much with the help of the copies. This must be a bachelor's degree or higher, so trade diplomas and associate degrees are of no use in terms of meeting the requirement. For non-university positions, what really matters is that you did your graduation from a recognized school while little emphasis goes into what you studied. As a result, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-thai-lan-bangkok-pattaya-5-ngay.html tour thái lan giá rẻ] all disciplines beginning from art to political science meet the required qualification. If you have a degree that is not written in English, you will need it to be translated into English and such and option may be available within Thailand itself, provided there is someone who knows the language in question. There are online translation services to help you with the work beforehand as well. Fluency in the English language The Thai government recognizes passport holders from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, UK, USA, and Canada to be native speakers. Passport holders from any other nation are required to prove their English fluency typically through an IELTS score of over 5.5 which is usually the criteria set by officials and prospective employers. Non-immigrant Visa In order to teach a [ online TESOL course in Thailand] , the minimum requirement is for either a Non-Immigrant B or O Visa. For acquiring these, an application needs to be made either at the embassy or consulate prior to your intended date of travel. Both require an employer sponsorship without which the process would be left very much incomplete. Supporting documentation Over the course of the process where you become a legal teacher in Thailand, supporting documents such as medical certificates, university transcripts, and criminal background checks need to be provided. The requirement is determined based on the officials in charge of reviewing your applications. What about having a TEFL certificate? A TEFL certification is not a necessity with respect to legal requirements for teaching in Thailand. However, in the absence of prior teaching experience or a degree in education, almost every school will ask for a proof of TEFL or TESOL course completion. Moreover, the hands-on training you get over the course of the certification program goes a long way towards making you feel comfortable when you first step into the classroom. Conclusion You may have heard a lot of things from your recruiters and schools but from a legal standpoint, this is all that you need for teaching in Thailand. However, with competition tough in a stretched job market, finding the right position that fits your aspirations is now far from an easy job.
