The sample of this research and development consisted of 12 elderly participants aged 60 years and above from Phichit Province, selected through purposive sampling based on their physical mobility capabilities. The research instruments included a folk boat song activity plan and a semi-structured interview form for satisfaction assessment. The data were analyzed using content analysis.The findings revealed that Laem Pho folk boat songs possessed unique characteristics reflecting riverside community lifestyles, beliefs, and culture, making them suitable for adaptation into elderly activities. Consequently, the developed activity plan consisted of three main phases:preparation, implementation, and evaluation, with activities divided into three sessions over a three-hour period. It was found that the elderly participants expressed high satisfaction with the activities, reporting that they promoted unity, social interaction, and self-expression. They also suggested expanding the activities to allow more elderly community members to participate.
