An Investigation into Listening, Speaking Proficiency and Attitudes Toward Chinese Dialects among Thai-Chinese in Mueang District, Lampang Province

2025-12-22T08:45:56+07:00

This study aimed to 1) investigate the listening and speaking abilities of Chinese dialect speakers in Lampang Province and 2) examine their attitudes and language choice behaviors in various contexts, including family, workplace, and society. Lampang Province has long been a settlement area for Chinese communities and is characterized by its linguistic diversity.
A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection. The sample consisted of 36 Thai Chinese participants, divided into four dialect groups: Teochew, Hakka, Hainanese, and Yunnanese. Each group was further categorized into three age ranges: 60 years and above, 40–60 years, and under 25 years, with three participants per subgroup. Data was collected between March and May 2025.
The research result found that:
1. Older adults (60 years and above) demonstrated the highest listening and speaking abilities, with average listening scores ranging from 70.33 to 73.67, and used their dialects fluently in daily life. Middle-aged participants showed moderate competence, with average listening scores between 44.33 and 47.33, using the dialects primarily in specific contexts. Youth participants scored very low (9.00–12.67 on average) and were largely unable to speak their heritage dialects.
2. Regarding attitudes and language choice, younger participants predominantly used Thai in both family and social contexts, despite recognizing the cultural significance of their dialects. In contrast, older and middle-aged participants maintained positive attitudes toward their dialects and attempted to use them in family activities and cultural ceremonies.
In conclusion, the linguistic competence, use, and attitudes toward Chinese dialects among the Thai Chinese community in Lampang show a clear generational decline, reflecting processes of language shift and assimilation. Without active measures to promote intergenerational transmission within families and communities, these dialects are at risk of disappearing soon.

An Analysis of the Tradename in Chinese-Thai Merchant Shops and Stores in Muang District Lampang Province

2025-12-22T09:01:19+07:00

The naming of shops by Thai people of Chinese descent in Mueang District, Lampang Province, represents a linguistic and cultural phenomenon that reflects ethnic identity and ancestral roots. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to analyze the word structure and linguistic features used in shop names by Thai people of Chinese descent in Mueang District, Lampang Province; and 2) to examine the cultural values and beliefs reflected in these shop names. This study is grounded in theoretical frameworks from sociolinguistics and cultural studies. The data were collected from shop signs in “Kad Kong Ta” and “Lampang Chinatown,” which serve as economic and cultural centers for the local Chinese community.
The research result found that:
1. Most shop names consist of single words, compound words, or a main word plus modifier pattern, with occasional use of Thai, Chinese, and English. Chinese characters, both traditional and simplified, are also used, reflecting the preservation of linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
2. In terms of cultural values, shop names often incorporate terms associated with prosperity, wealth, auspiciousness, and the continuation of family names or significant individuals. The choice of colors on shop signs carries symbolic meanings: red backgrounds with gold lettering signify good fortune and prosperity; black backgrounds with gold lettering convey elegance and stability; and white backgrounds with red lettering attract attention and symbolize purity.
In conclusion, shop naming among Thai Chinese in Lampang not only constructs business identity but also reflects linguistic structures and cultural values linked to migration history and community life. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between language, culture, and society and serves as a reference for future research in sociolinguistics and cultural studies.

Ideology of Male Homosexuality Represented in February Sea’s Works

2026-01-11T21:49:41+07:00

This research aimed to investigate the ideology of male homosexuality represented in the literary works of February Sea published on the ReadAWrite platform. The study encompassed five selected works: 1) Ashtray, 2) Until Dawn, 3) Memories in the Sunlight, 4) Smoke Shadows, and 5) Lucky in Love. This qualitative study employed structured textual and content analysis to examine the ideologies of male homosexuality, emphasizing critical interpretation and the decoding of latent meanings through the lenses of Queer Theory and Judith Butler’s Gender Theory.
The findings indicated that:
The five works by February Sea reproduced three mainstream ideologies of male homosexuality prevalent in Thai society: 1) the lack of social acceptance, 2) expressions of identity that deviated from established social norms, and 3) a preoccupation with romanticism and sexuality. The study demonstrated the capacity of literature to challenge gendered "normalcy" while simultaneously reflecting the existential constraints faced by gay men within a social structure profoundly rooted in patriarchal heteronormativity. Keywords: Ideology, Male Homosexuality, February Sea, Gender, Queer.

A Comparative Study of Knowledge in Theravada Buddhist Philosophy and John Lock’s Philosophy

2026-02-05T11:18:41+07:00

The objectives of this research were: 1 to study knowledge in Theravada Buddhist philosophy, 2) to study knowledge in John Locke's philosophy, and 3) to comparative study the similarities and differences in the concept of knowledge between Theravada Buddhist philosophy and John Locke's philosophy. This is a qualitative research method, studying primary and secondary data, as well as various academic documents, and then analyzing and presenting the findings in a descriptive format.
The research results found that:
1. Knowledge in Theravada Buddhist Philosophy is the direct apprehension of reality (Yathābhūtaṃ), untainted by emotions or biases. The development of wisdom unfolds through three continuous stages: 1) Sutamaya Paññā: Wisdom acquired from listening and reading. 2) Cintāmaya Paññā: Wisdom developed through critical thinking and contemplation. 3) Bhāvanāmaya Paññā: Wisdom gained from practice and meditation development. Types of knowledge are broadly categorized into two main types: 1) Lokiya Paññā: Mundane knowledge essential for daily life. 2) Lokuttara Paññā: Supramundane knowledge that leads to the cessation of suffering and the attainment of liberation.
2. Knowledge in John Locke's philosophy, proposing that experience is the sole source of human knowledge. Experience is divided into two main types: 1) Sensation: Experience received from the external world through the five senses, leading to simple ideas. 2) Reflection: Internal experience derived from the mind's own operations (e.g., thinking, doubting), generating simple ideas about the mind's workings.
3. Comparison of the similarities and differences in the concept of knowledge between Theravada Buddhist philosophy and John Locke's philosophy, suffering, and non-self, in order to end suffering and escape the cycle of rebirth. Knowledge in Buddhist teachings is therefore inward-oriented, leading to liberation through inner enlightenment. In contrast, John Locke viewed knowledge as primarily derived from sensory perception, with the mind merely receiving and being enriched by experience. The goal is to understand the external world in order to live a rational life. Locke's perspective on knowledge is thus outward-oriented. Ultimately, both perspectives reflect the diverse paths in the search for truth, which is the core of philosophy.

An Analytical Studies of Non-harming in the Ovadapatimokkha

2026-02-05T11:23:15+07:00

The purposes of this research were: 1) to study the general concept of non-harming, 2) to study the concept of non-harming specifically in the Ovada Patimokkha, and 3) to analyze the concept of non-harming within the Ovada Patimokkha. This qualitative research is analyzed data from both primary and secondary sources to understand the meanings, essences, and connections to related Dhamma principles and presents through a descriptive-analytical method.
The research results found that:
1. The concept of non-harming in Buddhist philosophy is a fundamental principle encompassing the abstention from violence in body, speech, and mind. Adherence to this principle is a fundamental basis for liberation from suffering. Through non-harming, non-harming of the body, non-harming of speech, and non-harming of the mind, the concept of non-violence rejects inflicting suffering on others and all beings, including oneself.
2. The Concept of Non-harming in the Ovāda Pātimokkha found that non-harming was a core principle integrated into the three exhortations: 1) Refraining from all sins, avoiding physical and verbal harm, is consistent with the precepts of morality (sīla-sikkhā). 2) Performing good deeds completely, and avoiding harm, is linked to developing a compassionate and loving-kindness mind, which is part of mental training (citta-sikkhā). 3) Purifying the mind is the ultimate goal of avoiding harm in the mind, by cleansing away defilements, which are the root cause of harm.
3. The concept of non-harming in the Ovada Patimokkha is seamlessly integrated into other principles of Buddhist philosophy, both at the level of thought and action, such as the concept of morality (sīla). Non-harming is a foundation of morality, especially refraining from taking life and refraining from stealing. The Four Sublime States (Brahmavihāra) are closely related to the principle of developing a mind filled with loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, which are considered the heart of non-violence in the mind. The Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Noble Path are interconnected and integrated into the principle of non-harming, as reflected in Right Livelihood and Right Action.

This qualitative research studies to relevant primary and secondary sources, with findings synthesized and presents descriptively.
The research results found that:
1. Universal Love in Mo Zi philosophy was a social philosophy that emerged during the warring period to resolve social structure and established forming peace. This concept was fundamentally rooted in Utilitarianism, based on the belief that loving everyone equally brought the greatest benefit for society and eliminated conflict.
2. Mettā Appamññā in Theravada Buddhist Philosophy was the part of the Four Sublime States (Brahmavihāra), based on wisdom (Paññā) according to the Four Noble Truths. It showed that suffering arose from defilements (Kilesa) within the human mind. Therefore, the solution focused on an inside through outside, beginning with the cultivation of loving-kindness (Mettā-bhāvanā) to purify mind and reduce ego-attachment.
3. Comparative Analysis the comparison Mo Zi Universal Love and Mettā Appamññā in Theravada philosophy revealed that both shared a core goal of fostering boundless love and social harmony by overcoming selfishness. However, their foundations differed. Mozi philosophy relied on the Will of Heaven and Utilitarianism to achieve worldly benefits, whereas Mettā Appamññā arose from wisdom of understanding the Four Noble Truths and the Law of Karma, purifying internal defilements. The crucial difference lied in the methodology; Mozi emphasized an outside to inside through social regulation, while Theravada Buddhist philosophy emphasized an inside to outside mental cultivation through meditation, aiming toward the ultimate goal of Nirvāna.

An Analytical Study of Paṇāmakathā (Invocation) in Pali Literatures

2026-02-05T11:34:24+07:00

The purposes of this research were: 1) to study Pāli literature in Buddhist scriptures; 2) to examine Paṇāmakathā (invocation) in Pāli literature; and 3) to conduct an analytical study of Paṇāmakathā (invocation) in Pāli Buddhist scriptures. This documentary research was conducted by examining textbooks, academic articles and related research on Paṇāmakathā (invocation) in Pāli literature and Thai literature. The data were analyzed and presented using a descriptive–analytical method.
The research results found that:
1. Pāli Literature in Buddhist Scriptures found that Pāli literature in Buddhist scriptures consisted of works recorded and composed primarily in the Pāli language, utilizing prose, verse or a combination of both. These works included the Tipiṭaka (Canon), Aṭṭhakathā (Commentaries), Ṭīkā (Sub-commentaries), Anuṭīkā (Further Sub-commentaries), Pakaraṇavisesa (Special Treatises), as well as later scriptures composed within Thai society. The primary purpose of these texts is to expound and clarify Buddhist doctrine (Dhamma) in order to ensure the stability and longevity of Buddhism.
2. Paṇāmakathā (Invocation) in Pāli Literature found that Paṇāmakathā in Pāli literature consisted of poetic verses composed to humbly pay homage to and praise the Triple Gem the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Saṅgha. These verses also functioned as the author’s preface, expressing aspirations for the merit gained from composing the work. The style of Paṇāmakathā was similar to the introductory sections found in other classical Indian literatures. Traditionally, commentators (Aṭṭhakathācariyā) and sub-commentators (Ṭīkācariyā) placed these verses at the beginning of their treatises as a unified expression of reverence and profound respect toward the Triple Gem.
3. An analysis of Paṇāmakathā (Invocation) found that the analysis of Paṇāmakathā revealed two formal styles: 1) gajja (prose) and 2) pajja (verse). Most Paṇāmakathā were composed in poetic meters such as Pathyāvatta, Indavajira, and Upendavajira. In terms of content, Paṇāmakathā serveed several functions, including praising and venerating the Triple Gem, declaring the author’s aspirations, inviting readers to study the treatise, stating the objectives of the work and acknowledging the authority of referenced sources. From the perspective of literary aesthetics (alaṅkāra), the study identifies the use of both saddālaṅkāra (figures of sound) and atthālaṅkāra (figures of sense).

An Analytical Study of the Concept of Fear in Theravada Buddhist Philosophy

2026-03-10T11:24:52+07:00

This research has objectives: 1) to study the concept of fear; 2) to study fear in Theravada Buddhist philosophy; and 3) to analyze the concept of fear in Theravada Buddhist philosophy. A qualitative research method was used, collecting data from documents, texts, the Tripitaka, and related primary and secondary research. The information presented in a descriptive analytical writing format.
The results of research found that:
1. Concepts: It was found that concepts are images or mental constructs representing various different things with shared characteristics. They are conceptual frameworks used to categorize and explain various phenomena defined by humans.
2. Fear in Theravāda Buddhist Philosophy found that fear was classified into two types: 1) external fear (lokiya-bhāya), referring to dangers arising from external conditions, such as fear of death, fear of natural disasters, and fear of change; and 2) internal fear (lokuttara-bhāya), which arose from inner mental states rooted in defilements (kilesa) and ignorance (avijjā).
3. In Theravada Buddhist philosophy, the concept of fear (bhaya) is viewed not merely as a negative emotion or instinctive reaction to danger, but as a conceptual construct fabricated by the mind under the conditions of ignorance (avijjā) and craving (taṇhā), key components in the cycle of suffering according to the Four Noble Truths. Therefore, fear in Buddhist philosophy is a mental phenomenon that profoundly influences perception, interpretation, and action. Managing fear is not about suppression or avoidance, but rather about mindful confrontation and skillful reflection (yonisomanasikāra), which is deep and insightful consideration to understand its true nature. Because fear is a conditioned phenomenon, it is subject to the Three Characteristics (impermanence, suffering, and non-self): arising, existing, and changing.

2026-02-01T14:31:03+07:00

Ancient Indian society was a land of intellectual and religious diversity. Two major religions that persist today are Brahmanism and Buddhism. Both share religious teachings and scriptures: the Law code of Manu of Brahmanism and the Sutras in the Tripitaka. This article aims to analyze the “similarities” and “differences” in the social structure and definition of "class" between Hinduism (through the Law code of Manu) and Buddhism (through the Sutras in the Tripitaka). The goal is to highlight the influence of religious beliefs on the social organization of ancient India, the existence of the caste system as a real social structure, with a clear division of responsibilities based on what is called "Dharma" according to social status, in order to maintain social order. The study finds that the origins of these systems are almost identical, characterized by supernatural narratives, particularly regarding the four castes and their differing origins. This led to attempts to create a stable political society through a sacred caste system, as well as another concept emphasizing "ethics."

SDGs Thai Public Sector Innovation and Creating Shared Social Value: A Mechanism for Improving Quality of Life in Line with The SDGs

2026-01-16T14:39:50+07:00

This academic article aims to analyze the theoretical and practical linkages between creating shared social value, public sector innovation, and improving the quality of life for citizens under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It proposes three dimensions of shared value creation: designing societally relevant products and markets, improving productivity in value chains, and developing local clusters. In particular, innovation in improving the quality of life for citizens under the SDGs is a key strategy for Thailand, linking public sector innovation to practical implementation and impacting key dimensions of quality of life, including health, education, poverty eradication, inequality reduction, and sustainable environmental management. This reflects the role of the government as a value creator for society. Past public sector innovations in Thailand include digital government services, data-driven public administration, targeted welfare systems for vulnerable groups, and multilateral collaboration mechanisms between government agencies, the private sector, and civil society. Innovations impacting citizens' quality of life include applications for accessing public services, the state welfare card for poverty reduction, digital health systems to improve healthcare efficiency, and open data platforms promoting transparency and public participation. Policies and regulations conducive to innovation, such as subsidies and tax benefits, need to be addressed. Obstacles requiring solutions include centralized and inflexible bureaucratic structures, incomplete data integration between agencies, the digital skills gap among citizens, and regulations hindering innovation. Furthermore, these guidelines for driving innovation to enhance the efficiency of modern public administration will support Thailand in achieving the SDGs sustainably and equitably in the future.
