Abstract

The family life of the Saek ethnic group has not changed much, from extended to nuclear family with relatives’ houses in the same area. The Saek are a patriarchal society with the youngest son inheriting the family heritage and taking care of the parents. It is a close-knit relationship with fathers training sons and mother training daughters. In the past, food sources were available from around their community, but nowadays food is obtained mostly from the market.
House construction has changed in terms of construction materials and space use, from a house on stilts, where domestic animals were kept underneath, to a two-storey structure. Home-spun clothing has been replaced by ready-made clothes. In addition, modern medicine is used in conjunction with folk medicine to treat sicknesses.
The Saek at Bawa Village could easily adapt themselves to the globalization trend, while keeping their traditions alive, especially Buddhist practices. They were able to manage their environment, community resources and adopt a collective process in maintaining their ethnic identity and culture in the face of modernity and globalization.
