If you are using an observational approach, you will be gathering field notes and other documents. You can use a programme such as NVivo to enter all these data and then code them into themes,. sub-themes etc.
See my short intro to ethnography here on RG at:

for more on the kind of data you would generate and the challenges in terms of validity and reliability of analysis.

There are at least two forms of thematic analysis. The version from Guest et al. is essentially a codebook based, deductive approach. In contrast, the label of thematic analysis is most commonly associated with the work of Braun & Clarke (2006), which is more interpretive and inductive.
Vignesh Waran By tools if you mean software, you may choose ATLAS.ti or Nvivo.
I would add Braun & Clarke (2006, 2013) to the list provided by Temitope Kinle Oyadeyi for Thematic Analysis. Specially the 2013 book is very helpful for beginners.

Sanjeeb Ghorasainee I would add that the Braun & Clarke (2013) book is a general introduction to qualitative research, that includes two chapters on thematic analysis.
Braun and Clarke have very useful website at:
