webfact Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sukhothai Historical Park to become Thailand’s first 'low-carbon' park SUKHOTHAI, 4 September 2015 (NNT) - Sukhothai Historical Park has been set to be the first cultural heritage with low carbon dioxide in Thailand. The project is being expedited for completion this December before it is officially open as pilot park in January 2016.The low-carbon park project was conceived by the Cultural Ministry under its strategy to make historical parks nationwide an environmentally-firendly heritage.Under the plan, Si Satchanalai Historical Park, Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park and Sukhothai Historical Park are the first three targets to be made low-carbon parks.To fulfil the project, the 5 km-inner road of Sukhothai Historical Park is being renovated. The park will have only one gate to be used as both entrance and exit, and no oil-engined vehicles will be allowed on its territory. The changes will force visitors to use electric trams stationed at ten points across the park or alternatively use bicycles.A bunch of local product shops will be located by the sole gate where local residents can earn more income, selling souvenirs and native products to tourists.-- NNT 2015-09-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLang Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) I'd be more impressed if Thai visitors didn't throw their 7-11 bags and plastic bottles over their shoulder while in such places. Perhaps start at the grass roots level. But you know, one can't tell Thais what to do and expect them to do it, especially when it would be an inconvenience to them (holding their rubbish to put into a bin and not chuck it over their shoulder for an Isaan/Cambodian/Burmese peasant worker to pick up).

IsaanUSA Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Neat idea. The Ancient City in Bangkok is already low-carbon though. They have bicycles and golf carts. Since it is privately owned, I guess it is not a park though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangrak Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 And it will be powered, like the electric trams, by a Chinese fat-coal fired electricity power plant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Most of the indigenous wildlife has been killed and eaten to the point of non-existance, so there not much wildlife to fart methane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitors can use their plastic bags to exhale into, and take their filthy CO2 home with them for appropriate disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
