  <abstract>Climate  change  is  generating  more  effects  on  stochastic  climate  parameters  from  temperature, rainfall,  sunlight  to  wind,  wave  and  currents.  The  coastal  areas,  hence,  is  becoming  a  critical environment  under extreme climate  change  context  where  have  been  experienced  higher frequency  of  extreme  waves  recently.  Meanwhile,  severe erosion  and  deposition changes recorded  due  to  fluctuation  of  wave  climate  from  the  past  to  present  but still less  specific program  is  built  to  project  extreme  wave  conditions  and  sediment  transport  in  the  future, especially in the Gulf of Thailand. The study, therefore, analyzed extreme wave characteristics along the Gulf of Thailand at the six deep-water locations including  Upper  Gulf  with shallow  water areas  near  Petchaburi, critical economic regions near Chumphon, Cambodia and 2neighbor stations of Vietnam and Malaysia, then,  Botru  as  the  locations  at  Lower  Gulf.  The  analysis  has  done  with  programing  on  Matlab environment for 6 hourly wave data including 3 time slices which are present days (1981-2011-NCEP data), near future (2041-2060) and far future (2081-2100) extracting from ECHAM 5 and GFDL  CM2.1wind  forcing  results.  Six  wave  parameters  have  been  assessed  from  duration, frequency,  and  significant  wave  height  of  extreme  events,  99thpercentile  wave  height  as threshold,  wave  direction  and  designed  wave  height. The  temporal  and  spatial  wave  analysis shows an increase  trend  of 99thpercentile wave  height and  1%  wave  height  with  Northeast dominated  coming  wave  direction atmost  of location from  present  to  future. In  addition,  the number  of extreme events with  longer  duration,  higher  intensity goes up to  3-4  storm/year in future. Then,  the  designed  wave  height at  those  stations  at  different  time  slices  and  GCMs corresponding  to  different  return  period  was  calculated  by  fitting  with  Generalized  Extreme Value Distribution via programing. The results indicate an increase trend about 1 m {u2013}2 m over all stations throughout the years with arrange of around 5 m at the Lower Gulf and 3.5 m {u2013}4 m in the Upper stations in future with different return period. Finally,  the  sediment  transport  at  Botru  was  examined  by  MIKE  21  ST  during  those mean extreme events and  20  years  return  period  event  from  present  to  future  days. The morphology results at Botru bank, witnessed considerable changes from present to future while the bed level decrease at the South parts and the 6 m depth. The erosion and deposition locations are then seen at  the  South  and  the  North,  respectively. Last  but  not  least,  the  bed  level  during  20  year  return period  event  could  change  80  cm {u2013}1  m  for  the  whole  region  from  present  to  future  with  great accretion at the North of the bank and bar occurring at 310 m -330 m from the shoreline in near and far future.</abstract>
