It was also rich in valuable cultural heritage: traditions, lifestyles, wisdom in resource management, along with the unique and outstanding architectures which was inherited from generations to generations. According to the development of transportation, roads were constructions for land transportation. There for, the water transportation was decreased. As a result, the prosperous lifestyles of people in this community were gradually left within the community. Therefore, at present Kao-Hong community is developed and restored, becoming the cheerful market community like in the past. From the study, it was revealed that the important problem found was the lack of appropriate cultural heritage management in the community. Moreover, the community internal management was not as successful as it should be in terms of development and restoration. The cause of these problems was people lack knowledge in cultural management which will lead to the successful management on cultural heritage of Kao-Hong community to be the community participatory approach. There were 3 projects proposed which were 1) conservation and development of cultural heritage in the Kao-Hong community, 2) an exhibition of arts, cultures and lifestyles of people in the Kao-Hong community, and 3) a path to cultural learning and tourism in the Koa-Hong community.
