| Abstract |
|
This qualitative research on medical wisdom of the Tai Khun focused on the transference and learning processes at Pa Phai Village in Tambon Chor Lae, Mae Taeng district, Chiang Mai province.
The medical wisdom of the ethnic group was conducted by folk healers by conducting rituals, massaging, and using medicinal herbs. Traditional transference of knowledge was through internal and external family lineages by the elderly and monks. In addition, new forms of transference were sharing knowledge among folk healers in the community and learning through the process organization by external agencies, such as, academic excursion, training, and a public forum between folk healers and academics.
