N2  - This study quantifies the climate change driven variations in longshore sediment transport  along Thai coast as well as shoreline change in a specific location with river mouth jetties. The  wave climate was obtained from 2 GCMs model which are ECHAM and GFDL climate model  for present time slice (1981 to 2000) and future time slice (2041 to 2060). The longshore  sediment transport rates were computed along 24 sandy beaches in the Gulf of Thailand for  present and future time slice using CERC' s formula. Computation results show that climate  change has different effects on changes in longshore sediment transport rates at each region of  the gulf. Increasing gross and net longshore sediment transport are found in upper western gulf  (region 2), and decreasing gross and net longshore sediment transport are found in lower  westerngulf (region 1), upper gulf (region 3) and eastern gulf (region 4) for ECHAM wave  climate, while GFDL wave climate provide increasing gross and net longshore sediment  transport in lower western gulf (region 1) and some location upper gulf (region 3), and  decreasing gross and net longshore sediment transport in upper western gulf (region 2) and  eastern gulf (region 4). Moreover, shoreline change study at Cha-am Breakwater and GO-10k  river mouth are studied to represent impact of climate change interaction with structures in  upper and lower part of the Gulf of Thailand, respectively. Simulation results showed that  climate change has slightly effect on future shoreline at Cha- am breakwater, while climate  change has higher effect to drive shoreline change at GO-10k river mouth as a consequence of  bigger incoming waves in lower part of the Gulf of Thailand.
