ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were: 1) to study factors and criteria for setting up
and classifying a recreation opportunity spectrum (ROS) for the campground at park
headquarters, Baan Krang and Phanern Thung in Kaeng Krachan National Park and 2) to
determine the tourist’s perceptions of the environmental conditions and their recreational
needs. Physical and management survey forms together with 390 designed questionnaires
were used for collecting the data. A weighted score method and content analysis were used
for analyzing the data. Statistical analysis included percentage, mean, maximum, minimum
and a t-test at a significance level of 0.05.
The results found that the physical and management weighted scores of the campground
at the park headquarters were 1.08 which was Development in the ROS spectrum, at
Baan Krang they were 2.30 which was Semi - Development in the ROS spectrum and
at Phanern Thung they were 2.64 which was Semi - Primitive in the ROS spectrum. The
weighted score of social factors indicated that the campgrounds at the three sites were
Semi - Primitive in the ROS spectrum. The results on testing the recreational experience
differences between expected and actual experiences revealed a significant difference only at
the Phanern Thung campground (t = 2.542, p-value = 0.012). Therefore, it could be concluded
that the suitable recreation opportunity spectrum of the three site campground was Semi -
Primitive, which meant the recreation activities were suitable for nature camping in a peaceful
setting, with privacy, high self - sufficiency and free from staff enforcement. However, at
the same time, tourists needed convenient accessibility and comfort in general. In addition,
they did not mind seeing other groups of tourists but those facilities and the number of
other tourist groups had not so much to affect the recreational experience.
