Abstract The Tourïsrn Authority of Thailand is intereaed in promoting the natural regions of Northem Thailand for recreation purposes. Many protected areas are already environmentally compromised as a result of development and population growth Ecotourism is seen as one possible management option to deviate such problems. Understanding visitors' needs and desires helps direct appropriate recreat ion management. This study explores perceptions relating to the benefits and costs of ecotourkm, exist hg management practices, and visito rs' interest s and motives. Reg ional ecotourism opportunities are also considered. Results suggest that: optimism for the goals of ecotourism is high if the industry's ethics are strictly followed; services and facilities need irnprovement to increase visitor satisfaction; a diversity of interests in wildlife exists beyond the traditionai big game; and that the region boasts an outstanding range of potential ecotourism attractions. Doi Inthanon National Park, in light of the heavy tourism focus on the park, is exarnined as a case study. Acknowledgemen ts 1 wish to thank Dr. Jim Butler for his enthusiasm, guidance and suppoa throughout the duration of my degree and beyond. He has been a major influence and teacher in many respects, and it is under his umbrella that 1have developed both professionally and personally. My thanks also go to my cornmittee members Dr. Guy Swinnerton and Dr. Dhata Gill. Both have been very heIpfÛ1 in the early and late stages of the development of this thesis. In addition, Dr. Gill's involvement as Director of the CIDA funded Institutional Linkage project between the University of Alberta and Maejo University helped make this study a success. He accepted the original proposais and ensured that the fùnding would follow to make this project possible. 1 benefited from working with Chris Fisher, since it gave me an opportunity to share a valuable experience, and I would like to thank him for all his help and support. In Thailand 1would like extend my thanks to the very many people that helped me. Unfortunately 1cannot name every single one. 1 would however like to mention by name and thank the fo IIowing. Dr Songvut Phetpradap helped ensure that my stay was well coordinated, cornfortable and enjoyable. Dr. Numchai Thanupon helped with the research and the extensive list of usefûl contacts within the protected areas of the region. Without Diana Jantakad this thesis and the results of my stay in Thailand would be nowhere near what they are. She was so very important to me f?om the moment of weIcome to departure, and 1cannot express my gratitude sufficiently. Many more staff at Maejo University deserve mention, but 1hope they will receive my gratitude without mention of their name specifically. The students of Maejo University enhanced the quality of my research and my experience in Thailand. In particular 1 wodd like to thank Narupon Lerdkanjanapom and Danai Winairat for their devoted assistance in interpreting and translat hg. Not ody were they of great ~ig~cancefor their help in the field, but they were also great fiiends who exposed me to and taught me about life and the culture in Thailand. 1am deeply indebted to them both. The rest of the ecotolrrism class was also of great support, help and inspirat ion as fiiends and volunteers in my research. 1would like to thank them al1 for their part. The MAFA class at Maejo University also deserve my many thanks since it was through their direct heIp and contacts that 1 was able to visit so many protected areas in Northern Thailand. Wle in the field many of the park staffwere so very generous to ne and helped ensure the success of the research and data collection. In particular Mr. Chodokh at Doi Inthanon National Park was very welcoming and accommodating, as was Mr. Krit at Tham Lod Forest Park. 1would like to thank the many staff who helped in this manner. As well, Chantasith Boonyasaranai, Jonggon Duang sri, and Caroline and Chai yan Subkeaw al1 contributed to the enjoyment of my stay and the results of my research. I thank them for their fiiendship and support in the field and in Chiang Mai. 1would keto thank aU those workers and tourists who contributed their valuable tirne to allow me to conduct my research, and 1 am very appreciative that they could help me rather than go about their nomial duties or enjoy their vacation. Much insight was also provided by many acadernic staff in the country and 1 am grateful for their input. 1would like to thank the country of Thailand for welcoming me and giving me such a beautiful natural culturai and spiritual experience. Both the wildlife, wildlands and people are equally beautifil, and 1hope this work will eventuaily benefit them al1 in years to corne. Lastly my parents deserve mention. It was through them that 1learned to appreciate and embrace the diversity and beauty of life. The exposure to many countries, cultures and wild places may be the root of my desire to conserve dlthat should be chenshed in the world. I thank them for their support, both direct and indirect.

    www.thelostpassport.com The Ultimate Chiang Rai Travel Guide www.thelostpassport.com Why You Need to Visit Chiang Rai Most people say there aren't many things to do in Chiang Rai. They're wrong, and I'm going to show you why. All other Chiang Rai travel guides cover attractions near the town such as; White Temple, Black House, the Clock Tower. Sure, these are interesting, and you should visit them, but there is so much more to be discovered. The reality is that most travellers don't go beyond the town, and really miss out loads of amazing things to do in Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai has a very diverse culture. There are the people of Northern Thailand which speak their own dialect of Thai called Lanna. Then there are the countless ethnic villagers such as Lahu, Karen, and Hmong which have lived in the mountains around the borders of Cambodia, Laos, China and Thailand for centuries. They maintain age old traditions not seen elsewhere in Thailand. The nature in Chiang Rai is stunning. While living there I discovered beautiful waterfalls, amazing mountain hikes, relaxing hot springs, and even a beach! I explored by longtail boat down and upriver, motorbiked off-beat trails in the national park, and cruised about town in a Tuk-Tuk after one too many beers. Chiang Rai is no doubt an incredible place. Now I want to share my experience with you.

    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.

  • Northern Thailand
    © Lonely Planet Publications 339 Northern Thailand The first true Thai kingdoms arose in northern Thailand, endowing this region with a rich cultural heritage. Whether at the sleepy town of Lamphun or the famed ruins of Sukhothai, the ancient origins of Thai art and culture can still be seen. A distinct Thai culture thrives in northern Thailand. The northerners are very proud of their local customs, considering their ways to be part of Thailand’s ‘original’ tradition. Look for symbols displayed by northern Thais to express cultural solidarity: kàlae (carved wooden ‘X’ motifs) on house gables and the ubiquitous sêua mâw hâwm (indigo-dyed rice-farmer’s shirt). The north is also the home of Thailand’s hill tribes, each with their own unique way of life. The region’s diverse mix of ethnic groups range from Karen and Shan to Akha and Yunnanese. The scenic beauty of the north has been fairly well preserved and has more natural for- est cover than any other region in Thailand. It is threaded with majestic rivers, dotted with waterfalls, and breathtaking mountains frame almost every view. The provinces in this chapter have a plethora of natural, cultural and architectural riches. Enjoy one of the most beautiful Lanna temples in Lampang Province. Explore the impressive trekking opportunities and the quiet Mekong river towns of Chiang Rai Province. The exciting hairpin bends and stunning scenery of Mae Hong Son Province make it a popular choice for trekking, river and motorcycle trips. Home to many Burmese refugees, Mae Sot in Tak Province is a fascinating frontier town.

Water is critical to ecological processes and so must be an important factor in protected area management. Despite the importance of water to protected area integrity, the protection of the aquatic environment has been given very little consideration when compared to terrestrial environments. This lack of consideration for the management and protection of the aquatic environment is evident in the protected areas of British Columbia and Thailand. Methods have been developed to help ensure the protection of the environments within protected areas.

    Chiang Rai Phayao Phrae Nan Phu Chi Fa Forest Park Contents Chiang Rai 8 Phayao 20 Phrae 26 Nan 32 Doi Tung Palace Located 5 kilometres north of Bangkok, Chiang Rai is the capital of Thailand’s northernmost province. At an average elevation of nearly 00 metres above sea level and covering an area of approximately 11,00 square kilometres, the province borders Myanmar to the north, and Lao PDR to the north and northeast. The area is largely mountainous, with peaks rising to 1,500 metres above sea level, and flowing between the hill ranges are several rivers, the most important being the Kok, near which the city of Chiang Rai is situated. In the far north of the province is the area known as the Golden Triangle, where the Mekong and Ruak Rivers meet to form the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Lao PDR Inhabiting the highlands are hilltribes like the Akha, Lahu, Karen, and Hmong. The region boasts a long history with small kingdoms dat- ing back to the pre-Thai period, while the city of Chiang Rai was founded in 122 by King Mengrai. It was temporarily the capital of Mengrai’s Lanna Kingdom until being superseded by Chiang Mai. Today, Chiang Rai is a small, charming city that provides the perfect base for exploring the scenic and cultural attractions of Thailand’s far north. City Attractions King Mengrai Monument Commemorating the founder of Chiang Rai, the monument should be the first place to visit, since locals believe that respect should be paid to King Mengrai before travelling further.

  • Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors
    About the Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors The transformation of transport corridors into economic corridors has been at the center of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Economic Cooperation Program since 1998. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) conducted this Assessment to guide future investments and provide benchmarks for improving the GMS economic corridors. This Assessment reviews the state of the GMS economic corridors, focusing on transport infrastructure, particularly road transport, cross-border transport and trade, and economic potential. This assessment consists of six country reports and an integrative report initially presented in June 2018 at the GMS Subregional Transport Forum. About the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program The GMS consists of Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar, the People’s Republic of China (specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Thailand, and Viet Nam. In 1992, with assistance from the Asian Development Bank and building on their shared histories and cultures, the six countries of the GMS launched the GMS Program, a program of subregional economic cooperation. The program’s nine priority sectors are agriculture, energy, environment, human resource development, investment, telecommunications, tourism, transport infrastructure, and transport and trade facilitation. About the Asian Development Bank ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining
