The article aims to provide valuable information to sports administrators, fitness enthusiasts, and researchers on the sustainable and efficient use of technology in sports development. The application of technology in the sports industry plays a significant role in enhancing and improving training, competition, sports officiating, sports communication, and human resource management. Modern technologies have been introduced to advance various aspects of sports, including motion sensors, GPS systems, and wearable technologies that enhance training efficiency and monitor athlete performance. Examples of these technologies include AR systems, step counter applications, virtual reality (VR), and the Nintendo Switch. The use of technology in data management and decision-making also contributes to more accurate and efficient data analysis, such as with Hawk-Eye technology and video analysis. Moreover, the application of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) in storing and analyzing competition data enables more effective strategy prediction and improvement. However, the adoption of technology in the sports industry still faces several challenges, such as data privacy and security concerns, high costs, accessibility, and the acceptance of new technologies by users.</p> <p>Addressing these issues requires clear policy development and staff training to adapt and use technology effectively. This article emphasizes exploring the role of technology in sports development and offers suggestions for future technology implementation in the sports industry to ensure sustainable and efficient use of technology in sports.</p> Jakkrapan Chupthaisong Varutthaya Varothai Copyright (c) 2024 Dusit Thani College Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-08-31 2024-08-31 18 2 192 203 Development Product of Mee-Krop (Crispy Rice Noodle) from The Yellow Marian Plum Sauce with Wampee Fruit https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journaldtc/article/view/273045 <p>The objective of this study was to develop the Mee-Krop (Crispy Rice Noodle) recipe, Yellow Marian Plum Sauce with Wampee Fruit recipe that was selected by the experts, and evaluate the physical, chemical, and microbiological product properties and sensory evaluation.

However, there are several weaknesses, such as a lack of professional advancement support, personnel development, motivation, welfare, compensation, athlete selection, funding, integration of research work, expert coaches, academic monitoring of athletes, systematic record-keeping of competition results, adequate emergency management plans, support for participation in various competitions, and connection with specialized experts like psychologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists. Additionally, there is limited feedback reception. Furthermore, the development of sports for excellence faces significant obstacles, including the climate of Southern Thailand affecting facilities and training, continuity issues due to economic and political problems, cultural diversity affecting training schedules, and budget disbursement regulations that do not align with actual development needs. Nonetheless, there are important opportunities for support, such as government emphasis on sports support, proximity of Southern Thailand's institutions to neighboring countries like Malaysia for international skill development collaboration, and local organizations supporting competitions. The proposed guidelines for developing sports management for excellence in Southern Thailand's higher education institutions can be summarized into five key areas: 1) boosting morale, 2) improving selection processes, preparation, training, and competition experience, 3) enhancing the capabilities and competencies of sports coaches, 4) increasing the efficiency of facility, equipment, and convenience management, and 5) supporting and securing funding for sports development for excellence.</p> Suthipat Kaewmanee Kanit Kheovicai Copyright (c) 2024 Dusit Thani College Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-08-31 2024-08-31 18 2 141 155 The Development of Royal Thai Cuisine Standard Recipes According to Dusit Thani College Standards: A Case Study of The Savory Dishes in A Tribute to Savory and Sweet Fares https://so01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/journaldtc/article/view/276077 <p>The main objective of this research was to develop the royal Thai cuisine standard recipes of savory cuisine based on the names appearing in A Tribute to Savory and Sweet Fares, composed by H.
