Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide principles for improving hot spring spaces and promoting them as sustainable health tourism destinations through participatory design and design thinking, using Wang Hin Hot Spring Park in Bang Khan District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand as a case study, hearing activities were held with all stakeholders to collect data for analysis, the architectural design process was integrated. While the area has potential, many relevant sectors have yet to develop it or promote it coherently. The study results show that the improvement guidelines are as follows: Define a public/private zone. Control the entrance and exit to have only one point. Improve the most used ponds to accommodate everyone's use. Modify an existing space that is not suitable for the project to meet the project's needs. Create connected routes. Empty spaces should be utilized as efficiently as possible. Improve the parking areas to facilitate tourism-related travel. Increase the space to encourage wellness and align with the community's potential.
