    Too much of a good thing

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 16/12/2018

    » A new fake floating market is about to be set up in Klong Bang Sue in Or Tor Kor Market in the Chatuchak area. It was the idea of executive members of the market who wanted to build a floating market to attract more tourists after CNN ranked Or Tor Kor Market as one of Thailand's must-visit destinations. They believed tourists should therefore have a floating market experience too when they visit Or Tor Kor.

    » Famed for its traditional way of life and architectural uniqueness, Old Takua Pa is fast on track to becoming a top tourist destination.

    An oasis under threat

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 28/02/2016

    » Last week in this column I discussed Thailand’s system of managing tourism, one that is causing the degradation and destruction of many old communities and valuable historical sites. I suggested a number of reasons for this situation, some concerned with the tourists themselves, some with investors, some with the government offices that oversee tourism and some with an ongoing deterioration in the communities. This week I would like to look at what is happening in one riverside community in Chanthaburi, a very old one that is a new member among the ranks of the victims of Thailand’s destructive tourism policies and practices.

    Don't roll by Ratchaburi

    B Magazine, Suthon Sukphisit, Published on 11/11/2012

    » Ratchaburi is a province that people pass through on their way to Cha-am or Hua Hin. When they take Phetkasem Road from Nakhon Pathom, they tend to just drive on without stopping there. Even those who go to Suan Phung district in Rachaburi province itself, with its valley setting, hotels and resorts, generally skip Muang district. The province and its capital city are also on the route to Kanchanaburi, although few travellers will bother to stop there. But those who do take the time to get acquainted with Ratchaburi will find that it has great charm, with a long list of interesting things to experience.
