Abstract

The research "Management of Museum and Cultural Heritage of Wat Phra That Doi Saket as a Learning Site and a Site for Cultural Tourism" aims to study historical, social, and cultural contexts of Choeng Doi community and Wat Phra That Doi Saket, including the background of the museum in order to present the management methods for the museum and cultural heritage of Wat Phra That Doi Saket as a learning site and a site for cultural tourism. This research is a qualitative research. The tools used in the data collection consist of the interview, field observation and focus group discussion. The study found that, in terms of historical and social contexts of Ban Choeng Doi community and Wat Phra That Doi Saket, since the end of the 24th century, many people have settled at the foothill of the Doi Saket area and the large market has become the center of Doi Saket District. Moreover, people of various ethnic groups are parts of Doi Saket community. As a result, Wat Phra That Doi Saket folk museum is the witness of valuable history and cultural heritage and it can be a learning site and cultural tourism attraction. However, the operation of the museum has problems about displaying the artifacts and the management of the museum. The method of management for the folk museum of Wat Phra That Doi Saket consists of museum display management and the exhibition which should be improved with the content of the history of ethnic groups, ways of life, social and cultural contexts of Doi Saket community, as well as museum management with community participation as the committee of the museum. Moreover, learning routes within the museum and learning center in Wat Phra That Doi Saket as a learning site and a site for cultural tourism should also be prepared.
