Abstract |
The author investigated and explained factors affecting the ethnic migration to Phon Thong Village, their culture, and living conditions. The ethnic migration took place in two periods. The first period was from 1963 to 1978, when the ethnic group migrated from Sri Kora Phum, Chom Phra and Sam Rong Thap Districts of Surin Province, and Prang Ku District of Sri Saket Province. The author explained about various aspects of the migration regarding the migrants’ education, occupation, assets before migration, assets brought along during migration, numbers of family members before migration and numbers of migrating members (pp. 24-26), migration patterns, and vehicles used for migration (pp. 40-42). In 1978, they migrated back to their original districts due to a communist insurgency. The second period was from 1982 to 1994 and remigration took place because the communist insurgency was defeated by the Suranaree battalion and an army camp was established at the Chong Jom Pass on the Thai-Cambodian border, so normalcy was restored at Phon Thong Village (p. 17). The author detailed the remigration regarding education of the migrants, assets before migration, assets brought along during migration, numbers of family members before migration, and numbers of migrating members (pp.71-73). The remigration was found to be more convenient due to a better transportation system. The author also mentioned about their migration patterns and vehicles used for migration (pp. 82-83).
