1.Krua Bai Node

Krua Bai Nod, located at Singha Nakhon district in Songkhla province, is a savings group that started learning their way of life. They possess three different types of living but exist together; those are Palmyra palm sugar production, fishery, and rice farming that interconnect the way to live and culture to sort with the group’s activities to share and teach one another from members. Samart Sakawee, a Krua Bai Nod Saving Group leader, described that creating mutual learning and cooperation is examining the life condition of people in the poor community, lack of financial opportunity, security, and sustainability in the family and community. The first saving group founded in 1990 consisted of 33 members. According to discussion and exchange opinions among people in the village, they convince more relatives to gather the saving group. Until the present, there are seven network cooperation groups with 6000 members. With the way of learning and understanding, it makes the community operate the saving system smoothly. They use the management principle that is easy to understand; members can save maximum money at ten shares per person (each share costs 10 baht) or not more than 100 baht per month. It will allocate high benefits for the community; that will give back 50% of the dividend to the members, while another half of it will distribute to the fund. If any member does not pay the due, they will have to pay for a fine (10 bath/time/ month), and the rate of interest loan will charge 2 percent per month. The group will bring the profit and the fine to create activities, develop to increase income for people in the community such as sesame candy and agricultural production processing, activities in Krua Bai Nod, and organic green market creation for adjusting with a group of local people living. Moreover, there is lifelong support in the Krua Bai Nod saving group; it provides welfare to each member’s family from birth to death. For example, the first-born baby will be a member group automatically and get some reserve money amount 3000 baht per person as well as there are activities for the elder every year and providing a cremation service for members. Furthermore, it assists poor agriculturists to redeem and maintain their land for earning a living.

2.Kiriwong Community

Kiriwong village, located at Amphoe Lanska in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, is a traditional community at Kao Luang Hill where the villagers possess a tranquil way of life and society of relatives. Most of them earn a living by gardening mixed orchards such as mangosteens, durians, rambutans, and twisted cluster beans. Kiriwong is a historical village where it encountered an inundation in 1988. With such flooding, the government raised funds to rehabilitate Kiriwong village to support villagers in sustaining their life. Eventually, in 1998, Kiriwong got the best Thailand Tourism Awards as a role model community in ecological tourism management. Villagers promote their strength and assemble to develop the tourism service to be a new business for the community by presenting their peaceful living, local wisdom, and rural lifestyle. However, the government-based administration in the long term for reviving the Kiriwong village still lacks integration, problematic prioritization, and strategies for subsidizing the growth to be sustainable and eco-friendly. On the contrary, local people struggle to fight for themselves to protect their community from the external capitalists supported by the government. It is a failure of the government in tourism management; a disorganized tourism policy only focusing on earning money is compared to the immense danger that the government destroyed the Kiriwong community. As a result of such mention, the Kiriwong community faces many problems such as encroaching on forest and river, overcrowding, debris from tourists, and an inefficient sewage system. Thus, challenging for villagers to reclaim their local identity and the green environment for the community. The case study from Kiriwong village is a worthwhile lesson for the government on revising and improving to work together with the community, not top-down policy, and understand the internal problem from local villagers to find a sustainable solution and sort with their way of life.

3.Ban Baw Khaew Village: Khonsan Forest Park

Baw Kaew village is located in Thung Phra subdistrict, Khonsan district, Chaiyaphum province. The village was established in 2009 due to inactions from the government to give back the land rights to the villagers. The conflict was stemmed from the convictions made by the Forest Industry Organization (FIO) in the name of the Khonsan Forest Preserve in 1978 against the villagers for a land invasion despite the official evidence that the villagers have been residing there since 1953. Initially, the movement started in 2004 when the villagers organized the Lum Nam Suen Conservation Community Organization to fight against the FIO. Since the beginning, the movement’s plea has been to transfer the land rights towards community ownership. It has long been proposed to divide the land into individual and community use and a community forest. Moreover, Ban Baw Khaew Organic Community has been recently added to the project of the movement with its seed bank. The movement believes that community ownership is the real solution to the conflict, and it encourages sustainability and harmony living between nature and humans while the FIO wants to pursue cash crops.

4.Ban Kang Pla Community Forest: Dansai Model

Ban Kang Pla Community Forest is located in Dansai subdistrict, Dansai district, Loei province.

The initiative has its roots in the monoculture practices of farmers in the community, which led to the debt crisis, and environmental damages. The heart of the solution is alternative agriculture to rejuvenate the forest while generating income for farmers. It also ensures that farmers have access to the market, and that is when Dansai Green Net, the green market emerged and with PGS certification. Participatory Action Research was used to ensure community participation in every process. The main drivers towards the success of this initiative are youth and women. Youth are encouraged to learn about their community and relay the information to their families, while women are the main actors in building the green market and community branding. The Ban Kang Pla Community Forest has recently been given the name ‘Dansai Model’ as its practices will be applied to other communities.

5.Soblan Village (Karen Community)

Soblan village is located in Samueng district, Chiang Mai Province. It is a small hamlet and surrounded by nature. They are Paga Gayaw People, Karen People, one of the hill tribe communities in the north of Thailand, who migrated and settled in the hillsides of northern Thailand hundreds of years ago and lived off the land by growing crops such as vegetables and rice. Soblan village has been there for more than 150 years in the areas covered by lush greenery in the summer and rainy season. The area is blanketed by deciduous forest and abundant bamboos, around 700 meters above sea level. The villagers in Soblan village rely entirely on natural resources. The forest and water are the leading resource for their lives, which they use responsibly and conserve and protect them at the same time. The local wisdom and knowledge of living harmoniously with nature have been passed down to the younger generation. Some of the local wisdom that the village members would like to preserve are forest management and rotational farming, bamboo houses, traditional customs, and local medicines. The villagers would like to see their village as a unique cultural zone to preserve their culture, traditional agriculture, and spiritual areas.

6.Huay Hin Lad Nai Community

Huay Hin Lad Nai Community, an indigenous Karen community, lives in a border area of one of several national parks in the northern region of Thailand, under the Thai local administrative system comprised of 3 hamlets- Hin Lad Nai, Pha Yang, and Hin Lad Nok. The hamlets, with a population of 252 and 48 households. In 1992, the government declared this area to be Khun Jae National Park, and the villagers have to leave their community. The villagers joined forces with other ethnic groups who faced similar problems and formed the Northern Farmers Network (NFN) to fight for their rights to retain their lands. From 1993 to date, the community has maintained rules and regulations to manage its natural resources. This community is an excellent example of protecting and managing natural resources, such as forest management, land rights, and sustainable livelihoods, through their traditional farming and cultural practices and has become biodiversity conservation and carbon-neutral farming model. The villagers here practice “shifting cultivation,” an age-old and worldwide practice of clearing forest patches to plant crops for a few seasons, then letting the woods return. It is also called “swidden agriculture.” Huay Hin Lad Nai’s fields have been part of such a cycle for at least 400 years, sustaining both the villagers and the forest with its diverse wildlife. Even endangered tigers existed there. In 2010, Hin Lad Nai achieved another victory when it became one of four villages identified as a Special Cultural Zone. In effect, this overturned the national government’s criminalization of rotational farming through actual proof that it worked.

7.Chao Lay Community

Chao Lay is a traditional tribe who has settled down along the coast in the south of Thailand for a hundred years. There are three ethnics groups, such as Morgan, Morgan, and Uruk Lawei. Chao Lay communities face two main problems; the first is the announcement of parkland over their arable land, and the second is the invasion from the capitalists into their spiritual and sacred place. The first problem is decreasing their security in arable land and constraining them from accessing fishing in the sea. Therefore, a natural resource in the marine cannot access as much as a prior period. Chao Lay’s second problem is the capitalists trying to claim the owner over their spiritual and sacred place. Balai is a sanctified area where Chao Lay uses mutually to conduct an annual and holy ceremony and ritualize togetherness in their culture and spirit that are descent from their ancestors to the new generation in the community. The Chao Lay movement fought for their land right to protect their community and identities for many years. They attempt to represent the significant essence in their way of life that is consistent with nature, so the authorities should understand, cultivate, and support them in coping with globalization and capitalism, not pulling them out from their traditional lives. Chao Lays have to prove their tradition can sustain them among globalization now. A successful case study from them is the Rice and Fish bartering project (Kao Lak Pla projects), a valuable model to deal with the Covid-19 crisis. Moreover, this project can promote their way of life in the media and get social support in driving the cultural zone policy to help them in solving both of the mentioned problems.

They became a member of the urban vegetable garden project in 2012. The members of the urban vegetable project are given one plot to take care of. Some members can be given more plots if they could take care of them. They can plant whatever kinds of vegetables they prefer. There is no strict management that demands members to do something, but they have to pay for the water bill equally. If someone cannot water the plots, others can do it for them. It is a supportive system. The interesting point is how the community makes the relationship between waste management in households and vegetable plots.
