The Year 7 students here at Garden International School have been learning about Thailand and the different types of industries in the country. They have produced a sustainable tourism development plan for Phala Beach here in Rayong, Thailand. Here is one of the better submissions we received:
I am writing to discuss with you my ideas for sustainable development of tourism at Phala beach. I along with Kenny and Hui Eun have thought of some ideas that will make a development at Phala beach sustainable.
First of all, let me tell you about jobs. They will be given to poor people. They will get jobs like washing clothes, making food, guides, security guards, teachers and we will offer training. This will result in poverty reduction and the poor will be educated. The people will get a handsome amount of salary, free food and respect generated by the tourists that visit the hotel. We will give them training for speaking English and for the jobs they are going to be assigned.
The accommodation will be a Thai style lodge/hotel that will look good with Thai history teachers, Thai food 90% and foreign food like pizzas, burgers will be only available for a higher rate, this will result in saving money, and there will be only one or two foreign chefs and people will know more about Thai culture and food.
Our energy resources are green and we are going to use solar panels, wind turbines, tidal energy and normal electricity for emergency but there are problems and challenges we may face are viability and investors for the projects, correct technology, safety and environmental issues. To overcome these issues we need government and local people’s support and after we install them, we may have pollution because of the tidal energy.
We are going to be eco friendly and have recycling bins in many places, we are going to plant trees to make the air fresh, and the recycled products are going to be used again within the hotel. Oh, I forgot about the water purifying system so we do not dump bad things in the sea.
We are going to have a culture exchange event every night in which we have Thai dances and everyone telling about their country’s cultures that results in people know about other countries cultures.
We are also following a no smoking policy in the hotel, however, if you smoke you could be fined 2000THB.
Fun activities would be some Thai activities for example people learning how to make things out of sand and other activities like beach ball, swimming, and paragliding. That will result in people knowing Thai games and having their own fun activities.
Cultural activities: In this you will learn Thai language, see Thai dances (taking part is optional) and you go to Buddha temples that will take you one step ahead to learn Thai culture.
Transport-We will use tuk-tuk’s as they are local forms of transport and Thai Baht bus that can seat lots of people and will result in saving fuel.
Thank you for taking time to read this proposal!
The report that Vishal wrote was very well written and tells us a lot of things that will happen such as 90% of the food will be Thai food, The transport will be a Tuk-Tuk and both of these things good because we live in Thailand. I think that Vishal must of put a lot of time into this report meaning not a 1 minute thing, it shows that he has a lot of ideas on making things better. The thing i like most about thing is that there is going to be recycling bins in many places and that trees are going to be planted.

Vishals i like your work it is easy to read and understand, the sentence make lot of seance i should think of it before i did my work
Very nice work Vishal. I hadn’t thought of a water purifying system, and the exchanging cultures thing sounds very cool.
Awesome writing and very good environment saving ideas. Very good at writing in lots of paragraphs. This work really looks like a document they would send to the government itself! Quite a lot of big words and very logical. The tourism for it is very good in letting people know about Thailand and it’s cultures. Excellent ideas for electricity generating. Could also tell legends of Thailand on the beach outing. Also might include a tour to historical monuments like the ancient city of Thailand, Siam. Other than that, this work is excellent! Like I said, this document seems like what they would send to the government itself!
Keen, thanks for posting Ideas for Community Improvement from Year 7… News!

Vishal i thought that your project was written very well and that you put alot of time and ideas into it.

Well done Vishal! I think your ideas on helping the poor is fantastic. If only they did it in the real world… I can see you spend alot of time on it and actually thought before you wrote something down. Again well done, couldn’t have done better.
