Celem artykułu jest opracowanie koncepcji produktów dla turystyki opartej na lokalnych społecznościach, aby podkreślić wartości produktów, które bazują na autentycznej tożsamości pływającego targu Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom. Na podstawie wyników badań można stwierdzić, że w 2004 r. zaczęła się tam rozwijać sprzedaż lodów o smaku świeżego soku ananasowego. Powstało wówczas wiele historii i ludowych opowieści na temat tego produktu, co pomogło miejscowym wypromować go jako element turystyki opartej na lokalnej społeczności, przyczyniając się do jej znacznego rozwoju gospodarczego. Po wygaśnięciu kolejnych fal pandemii COVID-19 wielu turystów wciąż przyjeżdżało, by zakupić przeróżne owoce i desery do zjedzenia na miejscu. Ceny żywności podlegały negocjacji, a produktów kosztowano nieodpłatnie. Innymi słowy, rynek na wodzie Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom był miejscem, gdzie można było się targować, każde lokalne stoisko miało swój własny styl, a firmy współdziałały ze sobą. Wniosek: produkt oparty na lokalnej społeczności może efektywnie i w zrównoważony sposób podnosić wartość pływającego rynku Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom.

This article aims to develop products for community-based tourism in order to increase the value of those based on the authentic identity of the Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom floating market. The research results showed that, in 2004, there was the beginning of a fresh coconut juice ice cream business in the Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom floating market. At that time, stories and folktales related to the product were created which helped the local people promote it as a part of community-based tourism; this effort contributed to its fundamental economic development. After the successive waves of the COVID-19 pandemic had subsided, many tourists still came to buy a variety of ready-to-eat food and desserts. Food prices were negotiable and free trials were available. In other words, the Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom floating market was a “negotiable market”, where each local stall had its own designs and businesses run together peacefully. A community-based product could effectively add value to the Klong-Lad-Ma-Yom floating market in a sustainable manner.
