PES in Thailand’s policy
National Economic and Social
Development Plan No.11 (2012-217)
Vision: “Social harmony and happiness.
With equality fair and immune to
change."
Strategy

social
• Creating a justice society. (Stra.1)
• The development of a learning society.
(Stra. 2)
Economic restructuring
Plan 11

sector and stability of food and energy.
(Stra. 3)
• Economic restructuring to growth with
quality, and sustainability. (Stra. 4)
• Creating the connection with countries
in our region for stability in economic
and social (Stra.5)
Natural Resource Management
• Management of natural resources and
environmental in sustainability. (Stra.
The application of ecological economics in Thailand: GREEN GDP.
Concept of
Green GDP
PES
• To calculate the cost of resource and the
environment values to and support the green
GDP ensure the economic growth has been used
the cost of resource.
• PES : one of the mechanism included in Road
Map of sustainable management natural
Resources sustainable management of the
country
The concept for operations in Payment for ecosystem service :
PES.
1.Recognition Value : represents the value of the individual,
community, state or unit of any society are awareness of the benefits
that they received from ecosystem service.
2. The demonstrating value : represents the value that can be
measured and assessed statement. There can be explained
qualitatively or quantitatively, which is measured as the standard,
such as biomass, growth rate, water flow, the satisfaction, etc., and
also evaluate in term of the monetary unit.
3. The pricing value : represents the value the
people who get the benefit (Willing buyer) willing to pay
to people who have contributed to those benefits
remain. (Willing seller - production) at a price that
satisfied of both parties together, to ensure that
products or services agreed to be beneficial for each
other.

DNP Project 1 : Enhancing the Economics of Biodiversity
and Ecosystem Services (ECO‐BEST)
Target : to reduce biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia for the
benefit of local communities.
The objective :
1. Development proposals, policies or regulations in the
economic tools for used in conservation area and buffer zones.
2. Supporting conservation in pilot site by using economic
tools as model for effectiveness in management services in
Southeast Asia.
3. Human resources development and knowledge sharing
about taking tools for the ecological and economics.

ECO-BEST Pilot Area 1 : Pang Ma-O village : Chiang Mai Province
 This area are supported by The Highland Research and
Development Institute to be the main organization to driving
the mechanism of economy to the villagers who join the
project to help conserving the forest resources in the study
area. The villagers are interested for fully operated and
there has selected to be ecosystem service and operation.
 The result revealed that the villager were adjusted their
attitude and behavior form monoculture to mixed culture and
reduced using chemical in agriculture process.
15
ECO-BEST Pilot Area 2 : Klong Thadee village : Nakhon Si
Thamarat Province
 The goal is "to strengthen the protection of ecosystem services and
easing drought - flood" the main benefit of users are including the
person who used tap water from Nakhon Si Thammarat, households,
restaurants, real estate, hotel and travel industry.
 So the people who willing to rehabilitate canel-ecosystem and other
people who pleased to lose the opportunity of intensive monoculture
farming. The local organizations who enforce rules and checking they
are not actively poaching water should be a group of people who
deserve compensation but the way to distribute for the
purchaser(The municipal water supply). The pattern to collected
money of Klong Tha dee watershed was done by the municipal for
tap water. The money are collected to be the fund ecosystem of
Klong Tha dee canel. However, due to there are no rules or the
support mechanisms for collecting and spending funds.

ECO-BEST Pilot Area 3 : Doung Payayen-Khoyai forest Conplex
Target :
Create incentives for land owner to change way of
living to modified for restore the ecological integrity
and maintain the safety of animal corrdor. (The
crossing way between Thap Lan NP and his Khayai
NP). If we can do, Ban Thap Lan is eco-tourism, with
world-renowned wildlife. Because visitors have a safe
and comfortable in the world.

habitat for wildlife

DNP Project 2 : Catalyzing sustainability of Thailand’s
protected area system : CATSPA
Partnership
(DNP) + Global Environmental Facility (GEF) + (UNDP)
Goal : Eliminate obstacles to the sustainable management and
development budget in the management of protected areas
Improve natural resource management and environmental
sustainability. Both the national and community level through the
use of standard tools to enhance performance management and
sustainable budget. To empower people and organizations The
valuation and storage mechanism instead of the ecosystem. To
create widespread participation. Contribute to the sustainability
of the protected area.

In order to bring down the PES pilot project. All experts
agree that PES is very new for Thailand and would not be
appropriate to carry out the project or PES, because people do
not understand. The beneficiaries have to pay for ecosystem
services. So the idea that it is To make stakeholders from all
sectors to recognize the value and benefits of protected areas, as
well as the benefits to be gained. Therefore, to ensure the
implementation of the PES can begin to have an understanding.
Of the people or groups involved. We have to adjust the work
program in the area. It starts from the program to fund
conservation. (Conservation trust fund: CTF) before it was known
and used in India. The attempt to use the mechanism or the
knowledge to expand into the PES in the future.

Implementation of PES in Thailand
Community-Based
implemented by Mr.Narong Rangkasikorn
At deforestation area in Tarn Mayom village
Wangsan Sub-District, Maewong Dirstrict,
Nakornsawan Province
Mr.Narong gathered the villagers and others
participiants to reforest and rehabilitate the area
which resulted in retrieving the Tarn Mayom canal
and its plentiful water resource.
The villagers took benefit from the water
resource and willingness to pay for ecosystem
service which later used as community trust fund

Observations of the operations of PES for Thailand.
• It is a pilot project (Pilot Project) has not elevated to the level of the
mechanism.
Operations in
various
countries
• While the international arena has proposed other mechanisms
such as REDD +, Carbon Offset, ABS (Access to Bio-diversity
Resources and Benefit Sharing), which has the same incentive to
conserve.
• So in practice, PES is a voluntary mechanisms. This is a choice that
must compete with other mechanisms. Could not get any interest
from the private sector because most of the CSR system is.
Successful
factors in the
implementati
on.
•The advocacy of leadership at the national and local levels.
•The rules are clear processes and guidelines.
•Willing to pay in the private sector.
•Technical support in the academic system of international
organizations.
•To develop the capacity of people and communities. For
Project Management And integrating stakeholders to work
together.
Observations of the operations of PES for Thailand.
Operational
issues
• Management issues include the unclear
ownership of the resource. Finding a buyer's
market And costs in managing
• technical issues include calculating the value
of the ecosystem services that are accepted
by all parties together.
Guidelines
• Should create a shared learning process
between government, local communities
and the private sector to contribute to the
mechanism works and necessary rules.
Powered PES for the next term.
• Should support the valuation of ecosystem
services as a science. To support policy
decisions
