Abstract:
As a tourism-dependent country, Thailand has suffered tremendously amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As a pioneering move to reopen the country, the Island of Phuket has begun to welcome fully vaccinated international visitors under the Phuket Sandbox Scheme since July 2021. This research gained insight into the perceived issues of reviving the tourism industry amid COVID-19 by using the Phuket Sandbox Scheme as a case study. This research undertook a focus group interview of 15 international tourists who have entered Thailand through the Phuket Sandbox Scheme in February 2022. Drawing from thematic analysis, three perceived issues have been identified, including lack of spontaneity, bureaucratic process, and lack of contingency plans. This research contributed to the existing body of knowledge and literature in the subject area of post-crisis tourism recovery and resilience. Also, this research developed a framework that shed light on the essential role played by the central government in coordinating with relevant stakeholders and parties to recover the tourism industry amid the crisis, which goes beyond the context of Phuket.

Abstract:
Abstract Phuket is a tropical island in Thailand that is famous for tourism. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the number of tourists reducing to almost zero. Since tourism contributes around one-half of the gross provincial product of Phuket, the impact was so severe that even the numbers of people employed and registered as locals decreased. Analysing the data from January 2015 to March 2021, we found that the total, residential and non-residential monthly consumptions dropped significantly after Thailand's State of Emergency was declared in March 2020. Unlike other studies that reported residential consumption increasing when people were required to stay home for a prolonged period, Phuket's residential consumption decreased by more than 10% from the pre-COVID-19 level, possibly due to the drop in peer-to-peer accommodation bookings. To study the impact on consumption in detail, we modelled using cascade regression analysis by dividing the predictors into three groups, namely socioeconomics, weather and calendar period. The results showed that the number of guest arrivals was the most statistically significant in all types of consumption and should be used as a predictor for water demand forecasting models in tourism areas.

Abstract:
The 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami appears to have reduced tourist visits to southern Thailand and particularly to the provinces of Phuket and Phang Nga. In Thailand, a much higher proportion of the tsunami victims were tourists than in other affected nations. Also, the tourism industry, which is a major source of foreign exchange, is very sensitive to the perception of risk created by disasters like this tsunami. Although revenues may remain depressed for some time, it is likely that tourism will rebound in this region because of the attractiveness of the physical amenity and the value it offers for European tourists. Damage to the physical infrastructure did not serve as a substantial impediment to response and recovery. Information and warning systems, together with buildings that afford vertical evacuation, will protect lives and reduce perceived risk.

Abstract:
This study aims to identify and validate a scale for multidimensional attributes of honeymoon tourism. Although having a romantic experience is an important reason why newlywed couples go on a honeymoon, multidimensional attributes that affect honeymoon tourist experience have yet to be fully explored in the honeymoon tourism literature. This study offers an extended view of honeymoon tourism from the perspective of multidimensional attributes. Data were collected through a survey among international honeymoon tourists. A total of 565 usable samples were collected in Phuket, Thailand, via convenience sampling. Thereafter, refinement and validation of the measurement scale were conducted. Findings indicate that the multidimensional attributes are represented by a nine-factor structure. The findings are expected to extend and enrich the honeymoon tourism literature. Theoretical and managerial implications were also discussed.

Abstract:
Previous studies largely treat the on-site travel experience as a single stage of homogenous tourist behavior, despite widespread recognition that tourist behavior is complex and consists of temporal decision processes. In particular, little attention has been given to what changes during the course of the long-stay holiday. The purpose of this exploratory study is to understand changes in tourist behavior, if any, from point of arrival through to the end of a long-stay relaxation holiday. In-depth interviews were conducted with mature-aged international travelers from the United States, Europe, and Australia visiting Phuket, Thailand. The findings illustrate changes that can be characterized, into four distinct stages of on-site behavior, through key activities, uncertainty levels, intercultural interactions, information needs, and sources of information. Important implications for destination marketing organizations are suggested which require innovative strategies to match the changing needs and activities of long-stay tourists at various stages of the holiday.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to provide a deeper understanding of tourist behaviour in the context of a Long-Stay Holiday (LSH). Accordingly, variables of interest include tourist motivation, long-stay tourists, and relaxation, together with responses of mature-aged travellers in this situation. In this thesis, a mature-aged traveller is over 45 years and a long-stay is treated as being from 10 to 90 days. The site for data collection is Phuket, Thailand, one of the world’s most popular destinations for relaxation holidays, especially long-stay holidays. The research problem has been stated as: How do mature-aged international tourists behave during a Long-Stay Holiday? This research is important for several reasons. The growth in ageing societies worldwide demonstrates a greater opportunity for tourism industries to attract mature-aged individuals to travel more and stay longer (Chen & Shoemaker, 2014; Wong & Musa, 2014). The population aged over 60 years is expected to continue growing quickly and will make up over 20% of the population worldwide within another two decades (UN, 2015). Indeed, tourism industries are particularly interested in the senior tourist market as seniors and retirees often have more resources, such as time and money, for travel ( Jang & Wu, 2006; Sangpikul, 2008) and tend to stay longer (Alegre & Pou, 2006) than other age segments. Consequently, tourist destinations are keenly interested in long-stay tourism and a number of Asian countries have introduced specific Long Stay Projects to attract and retain long-stay tourists, especially mature-aged tourists. Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines have all introduced such projects.

Abstract:
Tourism is growing rapidly in many developing countries, often encouraged by the view that tourism can overcome many of their economic difficulties. Tourism policy and planning is especially vital in these countries so as to avoid resource depletion, unsafe activities and inefficient development. Yet there remains only a limited research literature on tourism policy and policy implementation in the developing world. This study investigates the practical application of tourism policies in a developing country, with a particular focus on the sources of any gaps between tourism policies and their implementation. The study's approach involved developing a conceptual framework of issues related to tourism policy implementation, with this drawing on research on policy implementation in both developed and developing countries. This conceptual framework integrates ideas from several disciplinary fields and it recognises the integrity of both top-down and bottom-up approaches to implementation. The framework is applied to evaluate the application of three tourism-related policies in the case of Phuket in Thailand, with the policies being for the management of entertainment venues, the control of development in protected areas, and for beach safety. Attitudes to the implementation of these policies, including to the causes of any gaps between policy intent and practice, were assessed based on the views of actors involved in the policy processes and their effects. Relevant primary data were collected through semistructured interviews, document analysis and field observation. The study findings are used to evaluate the value of the conceptual framework. The study indicates that the three tourism-related policies were implemented in Phuket through a centralised policy system, with much control resting with national government and its officials. There was only a limited degree of local involvement, local consultation, and of evaluation and revision of policy based on local experiences. Many of the actors involved in Phuket's policy processes experienced difficulties related to bureaucratic administration, overlapping jobs, resource scarcity and lax enforcement. Many of them also noted how policy implementation was affected by Thailand's organisational culture and the people's socio-cultural values, including the prominence of hierarchical social relations and the potential for clientelism. The results alsohighlight the difficulties of enforcing regulations that might have limited the economic development of Phuket's tourism sector. This study contributes to our understanding of practical issues surrounding tourism policy implementation in developing world contexts. It also adds new theoretical insights, such as by demonstrating the value of a hybrid perspective on tourism policy implementation. This 'hybridity' recognises the complexity and uncertainty of policy implementation by combining both top down and backward mapping approaches to the subject.

Abstract:
Si l'Asie du Sud-Est est incontestablement la première région réceptrice du tourisme international chinois, la Thaïlande est, depuis 2016, le premier pays à accueillir ces touristes. Au terme d'un processus engagé à l'orée des années 1990, les touristes chinois, en groupes et en individuels, fréquentent aujourd'hui de plus en plus le Royaume, impliquant non seulement le développement de produits touristiques pensés depuis la République populaire de Chine, mais aussi une adaptation des opérateurs locaux.Cette thèses a pour objet les processus d'adaptation et les logiques d'acteurs (spatiales et économiques) face au développement du tourisme chinois sur l'île de Phuket. A partir d'observations et d'entretiens, ainsi que de statistiques créées grâce au dépouillement de catalogues de tour-opérateurs, ce travail vise à comprendre comment un espace touristique autrefois modelé par et pour des populations occidentales, se transforme maintenant pour répondre à de nouvelles attentes et représentations. Plus largement, cette étude souhaite contribuer à enrichir la réflexion sur la cohabitation avec le tourisme international dans le monde
While Southeast Asia is unquestionably the first receiving region of chinese outbound tourism, Thailand is now (since 2016) the first country to welcome these tourists. At the end of a process begun in the early 1990s, chinese tourists, in groups and individuals, are now increasingly visiting the Kingdom, involving not only the development of tourist products from the People'sRepublic of China, but also an adaptation of local stakeholders.This thesis focuses on the adaptation process and on the stakeholders logics (spatial and economic) facing the development of chinese tourism on the island of Phuket.Based on observations and interviews, as well as statistics created thanks to the analysis of tour operators' catalogs,this research aims to understand how a tourist space formerly modeled by and for Western populations, is now transformed to meet new expectations and representations. More broadly,this study wishes to contribute to enrich the reflection on the cohabitation with the international tourism in the world

Abstract:
This dissertation theorises resorts – destinations famous for ‘sun, sand and sex’ mass tourism – as distinct kinds of urban milieux. Taking account of their similarities as well as their differences, I focus on six international destinations: the Gold Coast, Australia; Miami, United States of America; Cancún, Mexico; Ibiza, Spain; and Phuket and Koh Phangan, Thailand. Drawing on the work of Lefebvre, Soja, Massey, Highmore and Deleuze and Guattari, I attend to the material and symbolic production of lived spaces in these resorts. In particular, I consider the mutually constitutive, mutually transformative relations between their spatial formations, built environments, popular imaginaries, representations, narratives of identity, rhythms, and the experiences and practices of both tourists and locals. To investigate these dynamics, I conducted extensive literature research and undertook fieldwork in each of these resorts. My applied methods included a mixture of participant observation, photography, rhythmanalysis, and semistructured interviews with resort residents. Recognising the impossibility of ever comprehensively representing infinitely complex sites such as these, the methods were intended to be impressionistic, partial and to some degree autoethnographic. The places, phenomena, observations and findings I discuss are taken to be ‘examples’ in Agamben’s (1993) sense – singular instances which nonetheless provide insight into wider social and cultural processes.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the contribution made by "alternative" tourism towards community development in the provinces of Phuket, Phangnga, and Krabi in southern Thailand. Aside from providing novel, adventurous, and presumably authentic travel experiences, "alternative" tourism promotes forms of community development characterized by equitable distribution of resources, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. Alongside conventional, mass tourism development in southern Thailand, nature-based "alternative" travel activities such as sea kayaking and jungle trekking have grown increasingly popular among foreign tourists and have emerged as measures of diversification within a slowly stagnating regional tourist trade. This study assesses "alternative" tourism along the lines of the tourism industry, tourist, and host perspectives, and addresses three key issues, or themes: "alternative" tourism as a theoretical and practical "alternative" to conventional, mass tourism; the role played by authenticity and ethical concern in distinguishing "alternative travellers" from mass tourists; and "alternative" tourism's contribution to community-based economic, social, and environmental development in southern Thailand. The results of this study are based upon several types of data, including selfadministered surveys, analysis of statistical and other documentary sources, field observations, and interviews with tourists, government officials, company owners, and Thais working in the tourism industry. Three central findings emerge from this research. First, "alternative" tourism in southern Thailand shares many structural and conceptual links with the existing mass tourism industry. Rather than signalling a true departure from conventional, packaged tourism, "alternative" tourism constitutes a regenerative niche in Phuket's mass tourism industry. Second, discrepant expectations of, and levels of desire for, authenticity serve to differentiate categories of "alternative" tourists, many of whom display insensitive behaviour and place inappropriate demands on their Thai hosts. Third, certain forms of "alternative" tourism, such as "mass ecotourism," foster equitable community development, while others, such as backpacking and adventure travel, remain limited as engines of economic development. In addition to discussing theoretical and policy implications, the thesis concludes with a localized model of "alternative" tourism in southern Thailand.

Abstract The objectives of this research are (1) to investigate the characteristics and behaviors of tourists who visited Phuket of Thailand and (2) to suggest the efficient approach of analyzing business data that is different in both characteristics and behaviors. In this study, two different clustering methods are selected. This study compares the performances of two stage clustering methods including SOM followed by K-Means algorithm and Hierarchical clustering followed by K-Means algorithm. There are ten factors used in clustering including zone, country, travel, province, type of accommodation, number of night, gender, age, propose of travel, career, annual income, and cost of travel and fee. By using S.E.Mean and root mean square standard deviation (SMSSTD) of each clusters as criteria in selection the numbers of cluster for segmentation. Results show that the appropriate number of clusters in segmentation is ten by using SOM and K-Means, while the number is six by using the second method. Clustering from both methods show that the majority of tourists are from Europe. The other categories reveals the information, such as travel by BTS, MRT or taxi and travel by domestic airliner. Most of the tourists choose to stay at hotel in a long time. Money they earn an average annual are moderate. But they have expenses are quite high in each day.Their purposes of visiting are for vacation during the holidays. and most of the tourists are professional. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the second approach has higher performance than the first one since it requires less execution time in clustering and provides more homogeneity among data within each cluster Keywords: Clustering, Data Mining, Classification, Tourism

Abstract:
AbstractWithin the context of climate change, the province of Phuket in Thailand is the only province in Thailand without any large rivers, which means that it is potentially at risk from problems associated with water scarcity in the future. Phuket Island is also the largest island in Thailand with an area of 543 km2 comprised of three districts (Thalang, Muang and Kathu); 77% of the island is mountainous and 23% consists of plains, primarily in the central and eastern regions. Most water is derived from rainfall, which is stored in reservoirs, mine shafts, and groundwater sources. Due to geography, Phuket is a popular tourist destination. Rates of development in the hotel industry and residential areas, as well as the population, have been rapid in recent decades. However, these developments have severely degraded watershed areas. Economic growth and increases in the number of tourists has resulted in an increase in demand for water, and in the year 2020 consumption exceeded 100,000 m3/day (Provincial Waterworks Authority 2020). Moreover, trends of water use in Phuket are expected to increase by 12% annually, and it is forecasted that the water demand for local consumption and tourism will rise to 103.07 million m3/year in 2032 (Patong Municipality 2020). As the water supply in the three major reservoirs (Bang Wad, Bang Niew Dam and Klong Katha) are limited due to long periods of a dry weather (Provincial Waterworks Authority 2020), there are problems of water scarcity in Phuket and other areas with public water systems in the province. The droughts in 2002 and 2019–2020 caused severe water scarcity in Phuket, and this has become an important issue that the province needs to address.
