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.

  • April 12, 2021 Thai Enquirer Summary Covid-19 News • the 3 Wave of The
    April 12, 2021 Thai Enquirer Summary Covid-19 News The 3rd wave of the Covid-19 outbreak has now spread from entertainment hubs in Bangkok to 70 provinces, with new daily record of nearly 1,000, bringing the overall tally to more than 32,000. A senior virologist warned that the number of daily new cases could jump further after Songkran Festival. The numbers have been rising at neck breaking pace and yesterday’s numbers reached 967 new infections. The outbreak has prompted a rare reaction from the really HiSo elites of Thailand on the lack of vaccination process and the procurement of the vaccines by Thailand. Although none of the top 50 richest families in the country have openly said that they are opposed to this government, privately they have said that they are not happy with the decisions being made by the government in handling the Covid-19 situation. The government announced 967 new infections, bringing the overall tally to 32,625. Chiang Mai alone flagged a further 281 cases that were to be included in today’s national figures. Dr Sophon Iamsirithaworn, the deputy director-general of the Disease Control Department, has signalled the possible closure of more nightlife entertainment venues in 36 provinces to further reduce the risk of local spread of Covid-19, on top of those in 41 provinces. The closure of entertainment venues in 41 provinces can help reduce the spread of the outbreak by 25 per cent, Dr Sophon said, adding that his department is keeping a close watch on the situation and whether it is necessary to shut down night clubs, pubs, bars, and live music venues in other 36 provinces.
