WHAT TO DO

AND SEE

Pak Nam Prasae
Paknam Prasae, Klang, Rayong

Prasae River Community, stretching back from the mouth (pak) of the river
(nam) emptying into the Gulf of Thailand is today one of nine pilot Creative
Industry Villages (CIV) receiving guidance from the Bureau of Community
Industries Development of the Department of Industrial Promotion as well
as the support of more than ten government agencies under the Ministry of
Industry, Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Tourism and Sport.

With the area abundant in natural resources, marine and terrestrial, the
villagers are encouraged to adhere to the ideals stressed by the late King
Bumiphol Adulyadej in his Sufficiency Economy theory. As they work to
preserve and protect their traditional lifestyle and livelihoods, they are also
being shown how to develop and adopt creative innovations that can add
value to their products in a sustainable fashion.
