Suphanburi

             I have a perfect time at suphanburi and for now I will tell you where I went to , that is very good place .

Buffalo Village




They certainly have quite alot of water buffalos here. All sorts of different types, as well as pygmy water buffalos and albino water buffalos not seen in most zoos. Visitors can pat and touch some of the gentle animals and farmers are there to tell you all about the water buffalos and how they are used in farming, in Thai of course. They also have a nice selection of rare birds in cages that you can get near, some of which have absolutely the strangest chips and calls that I have ever heard.
The village often has Thai weddings being performed. Thai weddings can take an entire day so if there is one going on you will probably see some of it. There are a couple of small food stand areas to get drinks from and escape the sun. A souvenior shop offers all sorts of traditional Thai handicrafts, buffalo T-shirts, and a nice selection of Thai wines. All in all its an interesting place. There is a very small fee to enter the park. Children will probably have fun here and get some education as well. The Buffalo Village is open 9:00 to 9:00 every day. and then we moved to

Bueng Chawak Aquarium


 Let’s go visiting a spectacular shark tunnel – Bueng Chawak Aquarium

Bueng Chawak Aquarium is sharing borders between Suphanburi and Chainat province, and is freshwater lake filled with pink and white lotuses. The aquarium is part of Bueng Chawak Chalermphrakiat project that was established in 1994  to celebrate His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 50th Year Accession to the Throne. A total of three buildings make up the aquarium; inside the first building is a collection of seawater and freshwater fish, it has more than 50 species of local, foreign and exotic fish with a detailed photo-description of each. The second building consists of a 400 cubic meter underwater tunnel 8.5 meters in length. The last building contains yet another underwater tunnel only this one is 75 meters long, the fish come from all over the world and the highlight is shark tunnel. Moreover, Bueng Chawak
has other attractions such as crocodile pool, zoo and a gift shop that you can it as souvenirs. Bueng Chawak is one of interesting destinations which do not miss to visit, you will spectacular the colorful of fish.
 

 










and the last one 

 is Samchuk Market
appreciate this hundred-year-old market, known as a living museum.
Indulge you stomach and your mind by exploring this ancient market in Samchuk district. The atmosphere of the old Thai ways of life still awaits your visit. Nowadays, Samchuk market is not only a tourist attraction with stories to tell, but also the link between Suphanburi from the past to the present.
 The traditional coffee café in the wooden townhouse in the corner remains people’s favourite meeting point just as before. Samchuk market has welcomed an innumerable number of visitors, as it is ranked the province’s top cultural tourist attraction. The market is able to retell the history that binds the past of Suphanburi to people of the current generation.




If you have a chance to walk along the narrow lanes of wooden houses and old buildings, imagine how these residential area and shopping arcade were like during their heyday. The ancient Chinese community has been a prominent trading area in Suphanburi since the reign of King Rama V, and no matter how long the time goes by, everything stays the same as it used to be.
The great charm of Samchuk market includes not only the nostalgic atmosphere – for instance coffee shops, barbers, photo studios, or vintage zinc toys from childhood – but also the attachment and love towards this community. The local people work hand-in-hand to preserve the traditional way of life. Importantly, the fact that they have modified Samchuk market to a living museum and allow the young to explore their ancestors’ way of life is regarded as a praiseworthy achievement.
Great local food
There are plenty of appetizing dishes in Samchuk market making the decision of what to eat not easy. After starting with a cup of traditional coffee, the dilemma is whether to have ‘hundred years noodle’ or rice wrapped in a lotus leaf as a main dish is your decision. Do not forget to try the dessert called kanom gong that is served in a generous portion.

Pre-arrival information
Visitors can spend the whole day exploring Samchuk market. The museum of Ban Khun Jamnong Jinarak makes a great venue to stop by and enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere through the display windows, that is all about my trip , if you have a free time , i present you to go to suphanburi , i hope you will get a great trip !!

Tourism trend in 2025 and beyond


            Tourism 2025 Vision is the World Tourism Organization's long-term forecast and assessment of the development of tourism up to the first 20 years of the new millennium. An essential outcome of the Tourism 2025 Vision are quantitative forecasts covering a 30 years period, with 1995 as the base year and forecasts for 2010 and 2025.


Although the evolution of tourism in the last few years has been irregular, UNWTO maintains its long-term forecast for the moment. The underlying structural trends of the forecast are believed not to have significantly changed. Experience shows that in the short term, periods of faster growth (1995, 1996, 2000) alternate with periods of slow growth (2001 to 2003). While the pace of growth till 2000 actually exceeded the Tourism 2025 Vision forecast, it is generally expected that the current slowdown will be compensated in the medium to long term.


UNWTO's Tourism 2025 Vision forecasts that international arrivals are expected to reach nearly 1.6 billion by the year 2025. Of these worldwide arrivals in 2025, 1.2 billion will be intraregional and 378 million will be long-haul travellers.

The total tourist arrivals by region shows that by 2025 the top three receiving regions will be Europe (717 million tourists), East Asia and the Pacific (397 million) and the Americas (282 million), followed by Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.

East Asia and the Pacific, Asia, the Middle East and Africa are forecasted to record growth at rates of over 5% year, compared to the world average of 4.1%. The more mature regions Europe and Americas are anticipated to show lower than average growth rates. Europe will maintain the highest share of world arrivals, although there will be a decline from 60 per cent in 1995 to 46 per cent in 2025.









8 Trends that will shape tourism in the mid-term
• Increased concern for safety and security
• More mature and experienced travelers
• Increasing competition
• Stress on value for money
• Aging population
• Shift from service to experience
• Incorporation of new technologies 
• Importance of sustainable development
