Abstract |
From a study of changes of way of life of hilltribe youth living in the city of Chiang Mai, it can be concluded that in the past 10-15 years, hilltribe communities are found to have been folded with/by external culture and beliefs such as the coming in of public, private and religious organizations. Moreover, communications and transportation means are more available thus facilitating a large number of youth’s outbound movement. Therefore, community members become more and more exposed to what is actually going on outside their communities under the new context, new friends, new rules and new beliefs as well as under the guidance and supervision of teachers, fathers and sisters who serve as surrogate parents, relatives and community elderly persons plus increased further education opportunities, increased independence and self-acquired and generated employment and income. Specifically, they tries hard to speak Thai fluently, learn social etiquette and manners in order to find jobs more easily. (p. Ngor-Chor)
