  • A Model for the Management of Cultural Tourism at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand
    Asian Culture and History; Vol. 6, No. 2; 2014 ISSN 1916-9655 E-ISSN 1916-9663 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education A Model for the Management of Cultural Tourism at Temples in Bangkok, Thailand Phra Thanuthat Nasing1, Chamnan Rodhetbhai1 & Ying Keeratiburana1 1 The Faculty of Cultural Science, Mahasarakham University, Khamriang Sub-District, Kantarawichai District, Maha Sarakham Province, Thailand Correspondence: Phra Thanuthat Nasing, The Faculty of Cultural Science, Mahasarakham University, Khamriang Sub-District, Kantarawichai District, Maha Sarakham Province 44150, 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.

    Keeping It Alive: Mapping Bangkok’s Diverse Living Culture Bussakorn Binson+ Pattara Komkam++ Pornprapit Phaosavadi+++ and Kumkom Pornprasit++++ (Thailand) Abstract This research project maps Bangkok’s living local culture sites while exploring, compiling and analyzing the relevant data from all 50 districts. This is an overview article of the 2011 qualitative !eld research by the Urban Research Plaza and the Thai Music and Culture Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University to be published in book form under the title Living Local Cultural Sites of Bangkok in 2012. The complete data set will be transformed into a website fortifying Bangkok’s cultural tourism to remedy its reputation as a destination for sex tourism. The !ve areas of cultural activity include the performing arts, rites, sports and recreation, craftsmanship, and the domestic arts. It was discovered that these living local cultural sites mirror the heterogeneity of its residents with their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There are local culture clusters of Laotians, Khmers, Mon, Chinese, Islam, Brahman-Hinduism, and Sikhs as well as Westerners. It was also found that the respective culture owners are devoted to preserve their multi-generational heritage. The natural beauty of these cultural sites remains clearly evident and vibrant, even though there remain dif!culties hampering their retention. The mapping of these sites are discussed as well as the issues surrounding those cultural sites that are in danger of extinction due to the absence of successors and other supportive factors necessary for their sustainability.

  • Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood
    Conflicts and Politics Associated with the 2011 Thailand Flood Yoshifumi TAMADA INTRODUCTION Floods involve not only technical issues such as identifying the causes, developing and implementing disaster control measures, and water resource management; they also involve issues of profit and loss distribution, with decisions related to when and how sacrifices, compensation, and relief are assigned to whom (Kasian 2011). The 2011 Thailand floods involved not only a people’s fight against water, but also involved many cases of conflict among people. Amid the floods, people sought scapegoats for the causes of the floods, claiming that the disaster was beyond imagination to evade blame. They argued about which communities should face the force of the river overflow. Fierce conflicts related to guidance of the flood flows to one community or another erupted particularly between Bangkok and neighboring provinces, and within Bangkok, between the left and right banks of the Chao Phraya River and on the left bank between the Phra Nakhon Area and the eastern area. Heated arguments arose in relation to short-, medium-, and long-term flood control measures, involving issues such as whether to build a dam in an upstream area or not, where in a midstream area to place a retarding 1 basin, whether to build a ring levee around entire industrial estates and urban areas to prevent water inflow in the downstream delta area or not, and who is responsible for undertaking their design and construction. Regarding the issue of aid for flood victims, community neighbors disputed who should receive ex gratia and compensatory payments. Disputes associated with the floods in various aspects intensified while involving political conflicts.

  • 2.3 Existing Conditions in the Study Area
    The Study on Implementation of the BMA Subcenters Program in the Kingdom of Thailand (Case of Lat Krabang) Final Report 2.3 Existing Conditions in The Study Area 2.3.1 Natural Settings (1) Fauna and Flora Currently, almost all of the Study Area is affected by human activities and therefore primary natural conditions, such as primary forests or natural rivers, are not observed. However, more diversified fauna and flora are found in the Study area than in the central Bangkok Metropolitan Administration area. The Study Area has several environments that function as habitats for fauna and flora such as paddy fields, groves, canals and fish ponds. 1) Terrestrial Environmental Conditions A large part of the Study Area is occupied by agricultural land such as paddy fields. Such agricultural land is affected by human activities, however the area also functions as feeding fields for birds such as herons, storks, and egrets. Spotted groves are shrubs which are a major type of vegetation in the Study Area. The characteristics of the vegetation are secondary groves that grow after the cutting of the primary forest, or shrubs growing in flooded areas. The dominant species in the groves are Combretum Quadrangulare Kurz, Bumbusa flexuosa munro, Ficus benhamina Linn and Erythina fusca lour. Most of the trees in the groves are about 10 to 20 meters in height, and serve as shelter and feeding areas for bird species, especially those nesting on the trees. In the environmental impact assessment for the Survarhumi International Airport Project, a field survey was undertaken to record bird species in and around the airport project site.
