Since 2000, he has had published nine refereed papers in the multi-disciplinary research areas linking community-based cultural tourism planning and ethics in tourism development in less-developed countries. His concepts of Buddhist ethical applications in tourism planning in the Mekong region have been cited in the two key texts; i.e. Tourism Ethics (Fennell, 2007) and Codes of Ethics in Tourism: Practice, Theory, Synthesis (Fennell & Malloy, 2007) as well as in a few refereed papers. His teaching subjects at UWS range from tourism subjects such as Tourism Policy and Planning, Cultural Tourism, Indigenous Tourism to the subjects in Peace and Development Studies. In July 2008, he completed his Ph.D. thesis with the title: "Tourism Planning and Policy in the Greater Mekong Subregion: Local Perspectives on Development and Participation – A Study of Ethnic Communities in Northern Thailand".
