  • A Model for the Management of Cultural Tourism at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand

E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 20, 2014 Accepted: June 12, 2014 Online Published: June 26, 2014 doi:10.5539/ach.v6n2p242 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ach.v6n2p242 Abstract This qualitative investigation aims to identify problems with cultural tourism in nine Thai temples and develop a model for improved tourism management. Data was collected by document research, observation, interview and focus group discussion. Results show that temples suffer from a lack of maintenance, poor service, inadequate tourist facilities, minimal community participation and inefficient public relations. A management model to combat these problems was designed by parties from each temple at a workshop. The model provides an eight-part strategy to increase the tourism potential of temples in Bangkok: temple site, safety, conveniences, attractions, services, public relations, cultural tourism and management. Keywords: management, cultural tourism, temples, Thailand, development 1. Introduction When Chao Phraya Chakri deposed King Taksin of the Thonburi Kingdom in 1982, he relocated the Siamese capital city to Bangkok and revived society under the name of his new Rattanakosin Kingdom (Prathepweti, 1995). Although royal monasteries had been commissioned much earlier in Thai history, there was a particular interest in their restoration during the reign of the Rattanakosin monarchs.

  • Study Report on Situation of Home-Based Workers' Groups In
    Study Report on Situation of Home-based Workers’ Groups in Urban Areas and Target Groups under the Inclusive Urban Planning Project Submitted to Homenet South Asia Compiled by Foundation for Labour and Employment Promotion October 2010 Study Report on Home-based Workers’ Groups in Urban Areas October 2010 1 1. Background Home-based workers (HBWs)1 are generally poor, receiving low wages or income and working long hours, thus earning inadequate income to support their household expenses. These workers live in slum communities2 scattered in urban or suburban areas. As a result, it is difficult for them to organize. Their presence is virtually non-existent, not known or socially recognized, and not economically valued as a group of workers that contribute to the urban and national economy. Thus these HBWs have no participatory role in their local or community development planning. The Inclusive Urban Planning (IUP) Project is developed to build up and strengthen the capacity of HBW’s groups by supporting their organization in the form of membership- based organizations (MBOs)3. MBOs will act as representatives of the HBWs in presenting their problems and needs to government agencies so that these workers will be given a chance to participate in the urban planning process, which is suitable for their needs. This five-year Project (2009-2013) is carried out by Homenet Thailand and its collaborating non-governmental organizations. Homenet Thailand (HNT) was established in 1992 and registered as the Foundation for Labor and Employment Promotion in 2003. The Project’s major operation areas are Bangkok, Chiang Rai and Khon Kaen provinces.

Thailand is also known for its other specialities considering railway traffic, one particular instance being the line from Bangkok to Mae Khlong, which partly goes through a market, that has to be temporarily demounted, whenever a train is closing in, just to be put back up as soon as it passed. The train traffic has great relevance in Thailand, which is the reason for a lot of investment in its development and upkeep.
