Chanthaburi occupies a significant place in the history of Thailand. However, the historical value did not get the attention it deserves over the past years and many historical sites are starting to decay and losing their interest. Moreover, the traditional revenues coming from fruit and gems are also starting to decline. Other sources of revenue need then to be found to diversify the activities of Chanthaburi and improve the economy on a short and long-term basis. Tourism is a potential activity in this regard.
