This qualitative study aimed to gain insights into the Wisdom Reed Ceremony at Wat Rong Kum and create its conservation and inheritance guidelines in Chedi Nerng Community, Amphoe Sanpatong, Chaing Mai. Fifteen participants in Chedi Nerng Community voluntarily participated in this research, including the village chief, abbot, monks, key persons involving in temple rituals, and the locals. The data were gathered by field observation, semi-structured interviews, and group discussion in three phases of Design Thinking: Empathizing, Defining, and Ideation. In the “Empathizing” phase, the field observation and semi-structured interview data revealed the Chedi Nerng community’s attempted to maintain the Wisdom Reed Ceremony at Wat Rong Khum. However, due to the post-pandemic condition in 2023, the number of participants was fewer, and the ceremony’s procedure was modified. Only the abbot and a few elderlies in the community could lead the ceremony. In the “Defining” phase, their concerns about this tradition’s sustainability led to the need to raise younger generations’ awareness of the significance and process of this sacred ceremony. Thus, in the “Ideation” phase, key guidelines for conserving and inheriting the Wisdom Reed Ceremony co-created by Chedi Nerng Community included 1) Promoting Wat Rong Khum along Sunpatong’s cultural tourism routes; 2) Developing storytelling of Wat Rong Khum’s Wisdom Reed Ceremony; and 3) Establishing learning community of the Wisdom Reed Ceremony.
