Agro-Eco Tourism Destination Cases in Rural Provinces in Thailand
The cases of agricultural and ecological based types of tourism destinations in rural provinces in
Thailand included three home-stay destinations in Surin (“Elephant Village”), Samut Songkram
(“living with water”), and Prachinburi (“sustainable agriculture”). All of the destinations were
originally proposed for a landscape architecture field trips class and the 2011 IFLA APR Student
Charette site. The three cases represented small-scale tourism and the value of local communities and
natural environments and showed the problematic issues resulting from the rapid growth of tourism
development.
