This book investigatedthe political aspirations of villagers at Ban Koh village (pseudonym) in Na Tha sub-district, Hua Sai district, Nakhon Sri Thammarat province. The field work was conducted by interviewing local individuals in order to obtain their political convictions via their socio-cultural dimensions, which included the importance of relatives and friends, respect for teachers as a prestigious and honorable profession that would improve students’ quality of life, praise of cock-fighting aficionados who were insanely risky, as well as admiration for folk artists, who expressed their political beliefs through their art. These were deep-rooted foundation of political concepts in Southerners who were different from those in other regions of the country. They perceived that comradery had always been important to and influential over their political concepts and these were expressed politically at the national level with their support for the Democrat Party during the premiership of Mr.Chuan Leekphai as well as through their support of the Alliance Group in the initial stage. Although their social status was similar to that of other people in other regions who benefited from populist policies, the expressions of their political concepts and confidence were clearly different.
