The factors, which were considered, included Attitude, Subjective norm, Perceived behavioral control, and Additional factors which were the factor of infrastructure, and number of bicycle possession in the family. The data used in this study were 429 Thai tourists. The data analysis was done by using Structural Equation Modeling. From data analysis, it was found that Perceived behavioral control, Subjective norm, and Attitude influenced behavioral intention in bicycle use at statistical significance 0.01. For Infrastructure, and number of bicycle possession in the family, they positively influenced behavioral intention in bicycle use in KhaoYai National Park at statistical insignificance.
