【 摘 要 】

This research aimed to investigate the environmental health management, water quality and food quality during the opening worship at the buddha footprint area of Khao Khitchakut, Chanthaburi province in 2017. Our environmental data were collected using a tourism questionnaire, survey of solid waste and an assessment of toilet carrying capacity from October 2016 to April 2017. Water quality and food quality were also analysed. The results showed that the average number of tourists per day was 19,852 persons, the solid waste productivity averaged 0.6 kilogram/person/day and the toilet carrying capacity was revealed to be at severe level. Furthermore, the water quality (except BODvalues) was qualified into 3 classes of surface water quality standard. The food quality analysis indicated that 62.5% of food samples were contaminated with coliform bacteria and exceeded at Department of Medical Science guideline levels.
