Suphan Buri province |
The designation was made by the Thailand Cabinet following a
proposal by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism and Sports,
Chumpol Silapa-archa, on 1 May 2012.
Nan and U Thong are starting to become famous cultural and
historical tourism destinations of Thailand. The Government,
therefore, has the policy to revive both places and make them pilot projects to
study the origins of the Thai people, their art and culture, as well as
lifestyle, and the wisdom of several ethnic groups. The revival will be carried
out by integrating the work of the Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism
Administration (DASTA) and related organizations to support this policy.
