Already suffering from severe coastal erosion and tidal floods, coastal communities such as Bang Khun Thian district are pursuing an eco-tourism development campaign as a way to counter these threats from climate change.
Bang Khun Thian is the most at-risk area of the capital to experience impacts of climate change, especially from rising sea levels and powerful storms, due to its location on low-lying swampy land in southwestern Bangkok.
