    The 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami had a deep and long-term impact on communities along Thailand’s Andaman Coast. In this chapter, the authors examine how three communities of indigenous, formerly seafaring people (chao leh) have been affected by post-tsunami tourism developments. Taking Devine and Ojeda’s (2017) concept of ‘violent tourism geographies’ as a theoretical lens, the authors analyse various practices of dispossession, including enclosure, extraction, erasure, commodification, destructive creation and neo-colonialism. The findings of this chapter suggest that all three communities found themselves subjected to radical transformations of their socioeconomic and cultural environment, yet in distinctive ways and with varying degrees of agency.

    The Cultural Housing Network Project is a collaboration project of the Department of National Parks, Pidthong Foundation, and Chulalongkorn University. It aims to initiate social engagement to solve conflicts between the Department of National Parks and indigenous Karen tribe villagers in Kaengkrachan prohibited area. A village working group for cultural promotion has been raised as a key success factor, in parallel with trial and error activities for natural and cultural tourism. These projects were engaged to restore village pride in their local wisdom and widen job opportunities for the next generation while facing restrictive regulations by the Department of National Parks and experiencing long-term distrust and conflict between both sides. Chulalongkorn University and Pidthong Foundation, as the academic and NGO sectors, have to retain their neutral stances by following a consensus roadmap of a sustainable engagement plan to counter any unexpected pressures from either side.
