correct understanding of self, culture, nature, Thai way of life,
thorough, professional development, environmentally concerned,
building partnerships with various networks both community level,

done through media both traditional and modern outlets, such as
websites and social networks to provide customers convenience,

public relations such as the internet. Management standards must be
improved. Souvenir and local products shops should be arranged in
