  • Piyathamrongchai, Kampanart. (2016). Climate change and impact to tourism in Thailand: flood and heat stress-risk scenarios. Climate scientists have been working hard to track climate change by monitoring the change of global climate system continuously since the middle of 19th century. Climate anomalous signals, e.g. increasing temperature and precipitation, appear in forms of aberrant events e.g. longer and frequent flood and drought, harder and unpredictable tropical storm, and more serious heat stress and so on. These events can affect directly to human or indirectly to other human activities. The tourism is one of dominant activities that need to be prioritized since it gains very high income to Thailand. This paper intends to represent two climate-related scenarios including flood and heat stress and how these affect to tourist attractions in Thailand. The rising temperature and precipitation scenarios used in this paper were synthesized from a climate change model package, SimClim, which is based on the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). In case of flood scenario model, this paper used flood data in year 2011 collected from GISTDA's Thailand Flood Monitoring System. Constrained Cellular Automata (Constrained CA) model was applied to simulate flood risk area constrained by the intensity of precipitation in each watershed. On the other hand, the heat index (HI) which is computed using average temperature and relative humidity was used to recognize the heat stress risk zone in Thailand. Finally, the categorized tourist attractions were mapped and superimposed to the risk zone to identify the impact. The heat stress risk of tourism sites in the upper north and the lower south will rise; they will increasingly expose to the heat. Flood simulation reflected higher impact for tourism sites in central, north and northeast parts of Thailand. The results from this paper are useful for associated organizations who need to plan for prevention, protection and adaptation, which is crucial issue in the future schemes.
