Wat Ket Karam Community. There are many streets in the community such as Pra Artit street, Banglampoo and the Chinese barrack. Although the restoration of the community will be more that lead to greater awareness but there are many traditional communities that do not have a refresh operation. The decay and so some of it has evolved so far that it destroyed the value of their own cultural heritage. It's hard to get back to the same [1]. Chingkhan is a traditional residential community within the city with the establishment of community history which still maintains its unique culture and tradition as well as the communities along a river. This is a community that reflects the community's relationship with the Mekhong River. There is also a good measure. The community consists of ancient places like Wat Tha Kok, Wat Mahathat, Wat Pa Klang, Wat Pa Tai, Wat Si Khun Muang , Khum Wat Phon Chai and Wat Santiwanaram. Old urban residential area minutes from the past are beginning to set up a community of immigrants from Laos. For over 100 years since the start of the Mekong River will expand into other areas. Chiangkhan is now urban. There is a traditional residential style buildings interspersed with modern shops that used to be the oldest wooden house in a residential area like single-storey buildings, brick-wood building and single-storey building constructed by using concrete which are scattered along the river - a river road, which makes the area an old-style community with a density of buildings and relatively densely populated than other areas. The role of the community are critical of the old city of Chiang Khan is high. In addition, to be a source of cultural tradition and heritage of the city the temples and community centers as a good measure of people's minds, and the city. As well as valuable of the city in an important tourist resource this impressed visitors to the town of Chiangkhan’s unique physical characteristics of the city. It still has the changing lifestyles of the few. The basic problems are as follows. 1. Understanding of the importance of old building. Most of those who see the value it deserve preservation, to be a scholar or expert. Not people in the community. If you do not see the importance of the community, the operation was difficult because of the conservative opposition. 2. Conflict with the law. Buildings in the old town mostly built before the current legislation and are not registered as a monument to preserve it. This causes some conflict with the law and an old wooden building materials have no fire-resistant as required by law. Conflict with the law, this may be the catalyst for the original building was demolished destroyed earlier. 3. Difficult to repair. The buildings in the traditional craftsmanship are built with intricate designs. Aesthetics and materials may not be available in the market, such as roof tiles. As a result, there is no continuity in the maintenance of the building. We also find traditional craftsmen who may die and their successors today. 4. Ownership of the complex. The original old town areas, most of them are privately owned. Some of the state, while many in the care of agencies or organizations. The processes of deciding whether to develop or preserve it are more complex and policy high uncertainty. 5. Lack of the motivation to maintain the old vernacular buildings. Most of the building voluntarily or some of the aid organizations pay attention. But overall the state has not been a system of incentives which were discussed for a long time, such as reducing taxes so that owners can put the money to repair the building, has no fund for repairing or the supply of building materials or skilled workers so as to compliance with the principles. The values of vernacular architecture in Chiangkhan, Cultural values that affect to the community greatly and the importance of conservation and development of old buildings, Chiang Khan, Loei. As mentioned reason, researcher has conducted this research. The old buildings in the current model are to find ways to change the policy and practice as a whole, to promote the cultural attractions and to express the uniqueness of Sakon Nakhon, as ever been in the past. It can be linked to the further province instance. The conservation of ancient and historic city of Kurashiki in Japan in Okayama [3], development of new areas of Songkhla and the old town area of Phuket [4]. In this paper have purpose are a study local buildings in the current vernacular and the guide in conservation and development of old building, Chiangkhan and to promote cultural tourism.

approach, the processes involved with the preparation of plans for conservation of vernacular buildings in the old town.
