However, to date, there has been a lack of in-depth research on the decision-making factors of PRC tourists purchasing amulets in Thailand and the association between these factors. This study aimed to 1) conduct a comprehensive investigation to explore how Chinese tourists' characteristics affect their choices to buy Thai amulets in Thailand, and 2) explore how product characteristics of Thai amulets influence Chinese tourists' decisions to purchase Thai amulets in Thailand. Data was collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 400 Chinese tourists who visited Thailand and purchased Thai amulets. The statistics used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics, including frequencies, means, and standard deviations, and inferential statistics, including the independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, LSD, and multiple linear regression. The results found that differences in terms of gender, monthly income level, and religious affiliation affect purchase decisions differently. Product characteristics, including price, reputation, and advertising, have influenced the purchasing decisions of Chinese tourists in Thailand. This study provides strong support for understanding and promoting the purchasing decision-making process of Chinese tourists towards Thai amulets. The marketing strategies and recommendations to develop a more attractive program for Chinese tourists in Thailand are provided in detail.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Guiyu Su, Daranee Pimchangthong, Pharatt Run https://so03.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/RMUTT-Gber/article/view/281400 THE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE FOR INCREASING THE OLD AGE BENEFITS TO THE INSURED PERSONS IN THE SOCIAL SECURITY FUND IN THAILAND 2024-09-04T19:57:17+07:00 Nuntachai Punyasurarit office.sso2008@gmail.com Wanwihpa Tailangka office.sso2008@gmail.com Anan Thamchalai office.sso2008@gmail.com <p>This research aims to study the conditions and challenges in the operations of the Social Security Fund in Thailand and to propose management guidelines for increasing old-age benefits for insured persons under the Social Security Fund. These guidelines should align with the cost of living and the essential needs of the insured persons. Additionally, the research presents recommendations for the Social Security Office regarding the maximum savings ceiling. This qualitative research employs the Delphi technique for data analysis, with 25 key informants involved in social security selected specifically for this study.</p> <p> The research findings indicate that: 1) The Social Security Fund should enhance old-age benefits for insured persons, with the primary reason being the variation in living costs depending on the residence of the insured persons. 2) The guidelines for increasing old-age benefits for insured persons should consider four key aspects: 2.1) Welfare should cover basic needs and contribute to improving the quality of life in a fair manner. 2.2) The state should be the provider of welfare. 2.3) The elderly should live with dignity and safety. 2.4) Allowances for the elderly should be increased equally across all age groups. Other benefits should not be increased at this time, as the current maximum contribution of 15,000 baht is considered low and was only recently increased following the 2022 Ministry of Labor regulations. 3) It is recommended that the maximum contribution ceiling be raised from 15,000 baht to 30,000 baht, incrementally, every 3 to 5 years. Furthermore, in the event of an increase in the maximum ceiling, companies should be given at least one year's notice to allow employers to budget accordingly. This research provides valuable insights for the government to formulate policies on elderly benefits and serves as crucial data for recalculating and adjusting the maximum contribution ceiling to reflect current needs.</p> 2024-11-19T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2024 Nuntachai Punyasurarit, Wanwihpa Tailangka, Anan Thamchalai
