Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative research was to study tourism resources in 3 categories: Dhamma (Buddhism), Civilization, and Nature in Wang Yai Village, Nhongkungtubmah Sub-district, Wangsammor District, Udon Thani Province, in order to present guidelines for the development of a green tourism initiative. The research instruments used were structured interviews, observations, group discussions, and data triangulation. Data was collected from February to May 2022 at tourism attractions in Wang Yai Village. The results showed that the tourism resources of Wang Yai Village can be divided into 3 categories: dhamma (Buddhism), civilization, and nature. Dhamma consists of the temples around the village, which still need development to increase their potential for accommodating tourists. The Wang Yai Village civilization and nature have the potential to be developed into a green tourism route to attract tourists. Therefore, cooperation from the public and private sectors will be needed for development. Landscape improvement, diversity of tourism activities, and souvenir product development are needed to increase the effectiveness of tourism management in Wang Yai Village.
