The Exploration of the Silk Road Travel Itinerary of Ban Na Tang Community, Kewasinarin District, Surin Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
This qualitative research aimed to explore the silk travel itinerary of the Ban Na Tang community, Khwaosinarin sub–district, Khwaosinarin district, and Surin province by using in–depth interview and observation methods. Participants provided important information including community scholars, community leaders, silk weavers, the public and private sectors, and representatives from the silk–travelling–related community. The result showed that the Ban Na Tang community had three silk travel itineraries, which consisted of a half–day itinerary, a one–day itinerary, and a two–day itinerary. Each itinerary included leisure activities related to silk, which attract the travelers. The activities, which were available all year round, consisted of silk weaving, Northeast–food eating, respecting community sacred items, doing leisure activities at homestays, and silverware and brass creating. The community can estimate the capital returns, set up the itinerary cost, and allocate a budget of the increased income, which leads to the sustainable creation of silk travel itineraries.
