ABSTRACT

This research aims to study is the Old City of Nan (0.18 square kilometres = 112.5 Rais), and the area of Phrathat Chae Haeng (0.13 square kilometres = 81.25 Rais). The research methodology used is primary, secondary, and archives documentation. The field survey is for cultural heritages and tourism development of the Old City of Nan for qualitative research.
The beginning of Thailand tourism development is the background necessary for the reader to understand the situation clearly. Many problems arise from tourism, but at the same time, tourism is a tool for industry development.
Conclusively, the complexity of Thailand's organizations relating to tourism and governmental policies along with the main tourism authorities, indirect tourism organizations, and the local authorities are reviewed and elucidated clearly not only for the City of Nan, but also the Thailand tourism system.
