This research aimed to analyze the factors and processes in the enhancement and revision of Phetchaburi rod puppet performances to help promote tourism in a creative context. Community participatory based research was adopted as the method. Rod puppet artists, teachers and students, officers of the province’s cultural section, cultural activists, local wisdom scholars and local media were selected as stakeholders. The findings reveal that a number of limitations imposed on puppet artists and inheritors, along with the changing purpose of performances and the area for performance, played critical factors in the form and nature of such enhancement and revision. The enhancement and revision process started with a rod puppet performance workshop in one selected school. In order to continue performance of the rod puppets, even after termination of the research project, the making of rod puppets was included in the workshop, along with singing of puppet songs and rod puppet manipulation. With the participation of all stakeholders, a new puppet show used to promote Phetchaburi’s tourist destination was created during the workshop and will be receive continuing support to perform on Phetchaburi walking street.
