The Tourism Authority of Thailand has started using the online tourism management system ‘Local Kit’ to improve the quality of community-based tourism in the Kingdom. Developed by Find Folk, the web app allows for more efficient handling of tourism information at the community level and enables tourism organizations to serve as a bridge between those communities.
A pilot project using the Local Kit system offers authentic community tourism experiences in Ban Tha Maprang and Ban Khlong Plaen villages near Khao Yai National Park, Nakhon Ratchasima. Visitors have an opportunity to immerse themselves into rural life, learn more about the traditions, culture, and daily routines of the locals, and enjoy the unrivalled natural beauty of this region.
