  • Tourism and History
    TOURISM AND HISTORY CHANGE AND ADAPATION OF LOCALS IN THE TOURISM PERIOD A S TUDY OF KOH SAMUI IN SOUTHERN THAIALND YUTHASAK CHATKAEWNAPANON A thesis submitted for the degree of MTour at the University of Otago Dunedin, New Zealand October 2011 ABSTRACT Tourism and History: Change and Adaptation of Locals in the Tourism Period A Study of Koh Samui in Southern Thailand This thesis proposes an analytic framework of tourism history and discusses its value for a tourist destination’s analysis. Employing a tourism history perspective, the thesis focuses on Koh Samui case study as a reference. This is done to illustrate specific points of the thesis’s argument, such as demonstrating the validity of the analytic tool, which in this thesis links history philosophy (and their perspectives) with tourism studies. Focusing on the case study the thesis examines the influences of tourism development on Koh Samui society, an island in the Southern part of Thailand. In response to the growth of global tourism, Koh Samui has changed significantly from having an agricultural livelihood to a tourism economy. The thesis argues that the present society is the product of wider historical processes that have not been addressed yet. The focus of the thesis goes beyond the account of the interaction between Koh Samui and its tourism development as it is argued that the present society of Koh Samui is the product of reinforcement between global tourism and the islands’ historical and cultural legacy. Regarding the history of Koh Samui, the island has been significantly influenced by Thailand’s central history, particularly in relation to the effects of the Thailand modernization process and also, more recently, Thailand tourism system.
