This thesis aims to study the practice of making vows and fulfilling vows to Ta Phran Boon at Wat Yang Yai, and to examine the social, economic, and quality of life outcomes for the community of Wat Yang Yai, Tha Khuen Subdistrict, Tha Sala District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The study found that making vows to Ta Phran Boon results in the fulfillment of the vows, leading to career advancement. The purposes of making vows include seeking healing from illness, praying for good fortune and wealth, and requesting assistance with work. The belief in fulfilling vows is that once the vow is fulfilled, the vow must be fulfilled to avoid any outstanding obligations. The purpose of fulfilling the vow is to honor the vow after the wish has been granted. This involves offering gifts including a garland, nine incense sticks, one candle, betel nut and leaves, a set of tobacco, white liquor, and a white cloth, along with other items promised to Ta Phran Boon. The incense and candles are lit, followed by a prayer and the offering of the gifts to Ta Phran Boon. The social outcomes include community participation in the temple and the practice of making merit according to tradition. We sat down to talk and share about the successes and benefits received from Ta Phran Boon. Economically, Ta Phran Boon has brought people to worship and ask for blessings, improving the economy within the community and surrounding areas. In terms of quality of life, making vows to Ta Phran Boon has led to fulfillment of wishes, resulting in a better quality of life, peace of mind, smooth sailing, good health, and protection from harm.

This study aims to investigate the methods of making natural plant-based tie-dye fabrics in the community and to examine ways to conserve these methods. A case study focuses on Ban Kiriwong Community, Village No. 10, Kamlon Subdistrict, Lanska District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, using qualitative research methods. The results showed that: 1. Methods of making natural plant-based tie-dye fabrics in the community: 1.1 Extraction of natural dyes requires a large wok or stainless steel dyeing pot. For black dye, the bark of a certain tree species is boiled in water (more water than its weight) over low heat overnight. The resulting liquid is then collected in a basin. 1.2 Fabric making process: The fabric is washed, then tied with rubber to create patterns. The fabric is then boiled for 4 hours, turning it every 10 minutes to ensure even dyeing. 1.3 Methods of knowledge transfer regarding natural plant-based tie-dyeing. 1. Community adults collaboratively support the transfer of knowledge about tie-dyeing to those seeking information about the craft. 2. Guidelines for conserving the traditional method of tie-dyeing using natural plant dyes in the community revealed the following: 2.1 Awareness of the value of natural plant dyes leads to appreciation and the ability to utilize resources to their fullest potential.
2.2 Promoting creativity in tie-dye patterns using natural plant dyes supports the practice of tie-dyeing with natural dyes by disseminating knowledge and information to villagers in the community. 2.3 Supporting the continuation of knowledge about natural plant dyes in the community by organizing teaching activities for future generations

KHAO KHAO COCONUT: THE PROCESS OF INHERITING KNOWLEDGE ON MAKING COCONUT IN THE HOUSEHOLD. A CASE STUDY OF THE YAOWAPHA KHAMHAENG FAMILY, BAN KHAO KHAO COMMUNITY, VILLAGE NO. 1, KHAO KHAO SUBDISTRICT, THUNG SONG DISTRICT, NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PROVINCE

2025-12-30T21:39:27+07:00

This study aims to investigate the challenges in inheriting and passing on the knowledge of coconut cassava cultivation within households, using the Yaowapha Khamhaeng family in Ban Khao Khao, Village No. 1, Khao Khao Subdistrict, Thung Song District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, as a case study. Using qualitative research methods, the findings revealed several problems in inheriting and passing on coconut cassava cultivation. These include difficulties in adapting to and learning from younger generations due to perceived hard work, uncertain income, and high investment risk. Obstacles in production include a shortage of skilled labor, resulting in lengthy production processes and inefficiency in increasing production volume. Despite coconut cassava's market potential, limited marketing channels restrict sales to the local level. The traditional method of coconut cassava cultivation, primarily learned through family and community training, is difficult for younger generations without prior experience. The process of knowledge transfer within households begins with learning within the family, where children and youth typically engage in basic tasks from a young age. The study also examines the process of community empowerment through learning. Growing cassava requires a systematic learning process, beginning with learning from experienced individuals and through training within the community.

PRINCIPLES OF AREA MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO THE KHOK NONG NA MODEL ACASE STUDY RUEAN KHANG NA. ORGANIC AGRICULTURE, KING, VILLAGE NO. 12, NA MAI PHAI SUBDISTRICT, THUNG SONG DISTRICT, NAKHON SI THAMMARAT PROVINCE

2025-12-30T21:58:58+07:00

This thesis studies the principles of land management based on the Kook Nong Na Model, a case study of Ruean Kiang Na Organic Farm, a project following the King's Philosophy, located in Village No. 12, Na Mai Phai Subdistrict, Thung Song District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. The objectives are to examine the principles of land management using the Kook Nong Na Model and its benefits, using a qualitative research method. The research findings indicate that: 1. Principles of land management and benefits of the Kook Nong Na Model: Land management is divided into three main parts: Kook (hill), Nong (pond), and Na (rice paddy). Approximately 60% of the Kook area is soil excavated from the Nong (pond) for housing, cultivation, and livestock farming. The Nong area has small canals for water retention and fish farming. Approximately 30% of the Na area is used for organic rice cultivation, free from chemicals, using animal manure as fertilizer to reduce costs and expenses. 2. The Kook Nong Na Model land management yields several benefits, including improved quality of life, increased farmer income, and family stability. Mutual support and spending quality time together, along with exercise and connection with nature, contribute to improved physical and mental health. Economically, farmers can produce and sell their produce continuously throughout the year, reducing poverty and promoting ecotourism. Socially, it strengthens community unity, fosters learning and interdependence, and builds strong relationships. In terms of resources, planting multiple crops and using cover crops prevents soil erosion, the use of compost and natural materials enriches the soil, improves water efficiency, and promotes the efficient conservation of local resources.

This study aims to examine the problems arising from the impacts of tourism and the adaptation strategies to these impacts in the community, specifically focusing on Ban Kiriwong, Village No. 5, Kamlon Subdistrict, Lanska District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. This qualitative research found that the problems caused by tourism in the Kiriwong community comprise three aspects: Economic, social, and environmental. Economic impacts include increased costs for fruit farming due to forced labor and instability in income from tourism-related businesses such as accommodation and restaurants. Community organizations face challenges in their livelihoods. Social and cultural impacts include increased conflicts of interest due to price undercutting and heightened business competition, alterations to community lifestyles, loss of traditional culture, and adaptation of traditional practices to modern times. Environmental impacts include increased waste and construction. Adaptations to the impacts of tourism in the Kiriwong community include three aspects: Physical well-being, involving adjustments to work hours and the establishment of community rules to promote harmonious coexistence between tourists and residents; and Self-concept, involving adjustments to community tourism promotion strategies, including increased use of social media and a focus on developing tourism that preserves the community's unique identity. In terms of interdependence, it was found that there is interdependence among family members through their participation in family businesses, and there is also increased interdependence among community members through their participation in community activities.
