Abstract |
The Mon Community at Bang Kradi had a long history of over 132 years with its cultural identity having been passed down from generation to generation. Their strongly maintained community and culture were due to the extended family system and progressive and devoted leaders. The former was regarded as crucial social capital for their cultural maintenance amidst changes in the age of globalization.
