This way of living resembles the Mutelu travel lifestyle in terms of tourism. The majority of them belong to the Baby Boomer generation and travel with companions, taking longer journeys and concentrating on a wider range of activities.
The majority of these tourists give priority to eco-friendly lodging and select tourist sites based on their personal preferences.
There are cultural tourism communities in every region of Thailand that are rich in natural beauty, distinctive cultural practices, and locals who are friendly and eager to greet visitors, such as the ones described below.
- Along the Mekong River are the villages of Khemmarat, Nawaeng, and Giat in the Khemmarat District of Ubon Ratchathani Province. Villagers lead basic lives. On the banks of the Mekong River, there are homestays where visitors can unwind and learn about the Isaan people’s culture in another way. This caters to the requirements of tourists who want to travel comfortably.
- Pak Nam Prasae community in the province of Rayong is home to a number of notable tourist sites, including Tung Prong Thong, the Pak Nam Prasae Museum House, and the HTMS Prasae Memorial. Some of them are near a waterway. Mangrove forests are found nearby in some locations.
- Buddhist community in Klong Dan, province of Songkhla. A single ancient wooden bridge connecting Ranot District in Songkhla Province and Hua Sai District in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province makes it easy for visitors to experience the two provinces; it also helps that it is situated at the confluence of three canals, Khlong Ranot, Khlong Cha Uad, and Khlong Pak Phanang. Consequently, this neighborhood has the cool moniker “Land of Three Canals, Two Cities.” There are many tourist attractions, such as the Living Museum that collects both rare antiques and local items to be seen, as well as the Klong Dan Riverside Market that portrays the beautiful way of life of the riverside community. Another colorful location that must be seen when visiting Khlong Dan Riverside Market is Manorah Khlong Dan. Children from Klong Dan perform the Manorah dance as a welcome to visitors on the wooden bridge.
