The research aims to investigate the problems and needs of the Lat Mayom Floating Market community in order to find ways to develop the market and improve the ability of tourism stakeholders to welcome foreign tourists. The research methodology was qualitative and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews with 20 tourism stakeholders in Lat Mayom Floating Market and a focus group discussion with 6 of these stakeholders. The research results indicate that Lat Mayom Floating Market is centred on agricultural tourism that presents the Thai way of life. The research identified several problems faced by floating market stakeholders including: difficulty in communicating in English; lack of tourism facilities to welcome tourists in the area of the floating market; and inadequate transfer of local wisdom and knowledge of tourism management to the younger generation. Due to these problems the participants stressed the need to receive training to develop their English and tourism management skills as well as the need to improve tourism facilities at this tourist site. Possible solutions to these problems identified by the research results include a project to train locals in many topics such as basic English for tourism service techniques to welcome tourists and knowledge of sustainable tourism management. The target group of this project should be locals who live in the area of Lat Mayom Floating Market. It is important that the training program be long-term to enable locals to practice English that can be used in real situations. Participants suggested that such a program could be organised by volunteers or by the government. Recommendations for developing Lat Mayom Floating Market include raising the awareness of both locals and tourists about conserving the environment and tourist safety (especially when taking boat rides); and preserving authentic culture of locals by developing only the tourism facilities (e.g. public toilets) that need to be improved not ง developing too many facilities such as parking lots or accommodation in order to limit the number of tourists to ensure the sustainability of Lat Mayom Floating Market.

The purposes of this research were to study a seamless carpet weaving by shuttle remote to develop communities of commercial products. Including studied the needed problems to use the seamless carpet weaving loom to be effective for responding the most demand of weavers and brought the data to analyze for prototype of a seamless carpet weaving loom by shuttle remote to develop communities of commercial products. As well as bring the knowledge transfer of technology to workshop. The research was experiment research by the field survey. There were 25 specific samples selected of hand carpet weavers in the lower northern district that were the carpet weavers group of Ban Huay Bong Tambon Ban Sao Muang district in Uttaradit province. The application developed into commercial products such as floor carpets and decorating carpet for various rooms. The results of this study found that the experiment to find the effective satisfaction of carpets weavers by hand weaving loom were as follows: The production can be woven carpets with maximum 3 meters width and 90 centimeters. It was the seamless carpet to satisfy quickly for customer demands in time. It was depending on the structure and complexity of the carpet design. The basic design can be woven faster than original for three times and seamless. In working can reduce the process to use workers to tend the traditional shuttle up to two times. In production costs were lower than industrial because it was produced in each time a lot to breakeven to open the loom. In treatments were easy to use and were not complicated in installation equipments with the shuttles remote control which using the shuttle tended to convert to chart in 220-volt and 12-volt battery etc. The power wheel drives in the channel on weft yarn back and forth for a time to charge the battery for an hour. This seamless carpet weaving loom forced by shuttle remote to develop communities of commercial products brought the basic of knowledge to develop the loom equipments patterns design and develop communities of commercial products in the future.
