The sustainable tourism policies of Thailand`s tourism authorities are now gaining recognition in national travel awards as the national parks of the country are in the spotlight. Designed to honour those who promote the conservation of nature and culture and contribute to sustainable tourism development, tourism awards are beginning to give recognition to national parks which are demonstrating their capacity to foster eco-tourist activities.
Erawan National Park
The park has been the winner of the 2006 Thailand Tourism Award of Excellence for Natural Site – Central Region. Recognised as Thailand’s second most popular national park after Khao Yai, the park’s waterfall is its best known landmark and the main reason why thousands of visitors add the 65-kilometre trip from Kanchanaburi town to their trip.
Kaeng Krachan National Park
The Kaeng Krachan National Park has been the winner of the 2006 Thailand Tourism Award of Outstanding Performance for Natural Site – Central Region. Kaeng Krachan is Thailand`s largest national park (2,914 sq km) and part of a continuous forest complex covering 30,000 sq km of land spanning the border with Myanmar. The park lies at the junction of biogeographic zones so biodiversity in the area is a mix of Indo-Burmese and Malaysian forms.
