  • Development of Historical Tourism: a Case Study of Bangkok National Museum, Thailand
    International Journal of Management and Applied Science, ISSN: 2394-7926 Volume-4, Issue-10, Oct.-2018 http://iraj.in DEVELOPMENT OF HISTORICAL TOURISM: A CASE STUDY OF BANGKOK NATIONAL MUSEUM, THAILAND. NUALMORAKOT TAWEETHONG Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - The objective of this research is to study the operating conditions and developmental problems and obstacles in development of historical tourism within Thailand as well as presenting development guidelines for historical tourism at the Bangkok National Museum, Thailand. This research will utilise qualitative research, including in-depth interview method as applied to data collection, with the key interviewees being key executive and operating officers in the Bangkok National Museum, tourists, tourism industry entrepreneurs and community leaders in the Phra Nakhon District (Bangkok) to represent a total of 70 persons. Data was analysed by utilising descriptive statistics, compiling of the acquired data. Studied phenomenon were examined through a determined analytical framework of analysis. This analytical framework considers four primary elements: finance and resources available to institutions, the level of service quality provided by the institutions, network learnings and development of institutions and the participation process of institutions. The research’s findings indicate that the National Museum’s operating condition could be developed to be a profitable historical tourism location and the developmental problems and obstacles were primarily issues of limited budgets for studies and research, conservation and collection of the important antiques, while tourism services and facilities had not yet been able to create a positive impression or experience for tourists, management lacked the facilitation of learning and developmental network in the group of the intellectuals or students and new generation youths with few participating intourism locations or the development of people or sites within local areas.

  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls. HIGHLIGHTS Joining the adoring crowds at Thailand’s most famous temple, Wat Phra Kaew (p108) Escaping the tour
