YALA-Yala wants to use stagecoaches to attract tourists to the province to boost local tourism and generate extra income for local families.
It began with a group of horse breeders in a community called Ban Jarupattana. They proposed the idea to the Office of Muang Yala District and sought financial support from the government’s five-million-baht-per-tambon program.
They believe the stagecoach project will also compliment the image of Yala as a bird city. Muang Yala District Sheriff Kongsakul Chantarat said the Bird City project previously received government financial aid of five million baht.
Mr. Kongsakul believes the stagecoach project will create job opportunities for low income earners as well as cover maintenance expenses. If approved, stagecoach services will begin at the end of this year.
