The research found that the participation of locals in tourism management was at a high level especially in terms of location management. Locals participate in planning attend meetings about policy and discuss new ideas with regard to many things. However while locals are able to evaluate tourism facilities as good or not good they are not directly involved in the process of planning or policy or management. Locals co-operate to manage human resources very well but they do not participate much in setting the rules of the village. This is because the rules are flexible and are transferred from generation to generation rather than being fixed. On the other hand locals participate in the management of the creative local product process at a high level. Suggestions 1. The new generation should be encouraged to participate in tourism management. 2. The locals should think about the public and love the community more than seek private benefits through their own business. 3. Government should be involved in helping locals and local government should be involved in meeting and planning about tourism management at Lamphaya Floating Market. 4. Locals and the community in the nearby area should be encouraged to recognize the importance of sustainable tourism management.
