The village of Klong Ta In experiences elephant encroachment and has developed an elephant deterring task force with the help of the organization Kachanurak. However, the force needs supplemental funding for maintenance and supplies. In addition, the farmers in the village experience crop raiding and are looking to create a community fund to compensate for the loss of income. Through research, observations, and interviews, our group created a feasible and sustainable tourism package for the village to create this revenue.
