“…Although Thailand has been a popular destination, it cannot claim to be the most prosperous country. 29 The nation has recently been dealing with significant challenges including political unrest, economic fluctuations in the Thai baht, and rising oil prices. 30 To further understand how people on minimum wage make sense of Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) and incorporate it into their conceptions of a livable wage, a qualitative study was conducted.…”

The tourism sector is significant in emerging nations like Thailand. The cost of lodging is a significant component of practically every trip, thus it is important to consider accommodation development while trying to draw in visitors from other nations. The long-stay tourism industry is crucial since longer visitor stays result in more revenue. Following this, other research on long-term lodging of all forms has been conducted, with an emphasis on both the tourist and real estate sectors. The best tourist option in Thailand is long-term travel. As evidenced by the American, European, and Japanese visitors, the target market is tourists from nations with high costs of living, frigid climates, and aging populations. Therefore, it is anticipated that the tourist demographic will change in future, leading to the emergence of the retirement home niche market as a part of long-stay tourism. The characteristics of long-stay tourism in Thailand are examined in this paper, and we assess the theoretical and conceptual framework as an analysis of Thailand's tourism. Examining the current situation of the Thai long-stay tourist business is the initial and main objective of this study. There is currently no perfect answer, but various alternatives from comparable markets in representative nations have been used as examples to subsequently create tourism accommodation in Thailand for long-stay tourism.

“…Similarly, Hartmann (2006) highlights the difficulty of dealing with incompatible booking systems in the otherwise highly integrated Lake Constance destination between Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Solving such issues often means dealing with massive bureaucracy (Timothy, 1999;Yodsuwan et al, 2018). Finally, the financing of tourism projects is one of the main highlighted difficulties in tourism development and management resulting from the presence of administrative borders (e.g.…”

“…On final reflection, Yodsuwan et al (2018) point to the importance of recognizing cultural practices when dealing with these systematic complexities in cross-border tourism planning. Using a case study of the Thai side of the Golden Triangle between Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, they argue that Thai cultural behaviour and expectations, valuing among others hierarchy and individual relations over institutional efficiency, require culturally sensitive adaptations to the solutions discussed above.…”
