Sufficient and sustainable well-being of all Thai citizens has been the main government’s objective for national development. Whether it is about the good health of the people or the countrys economy. The main goal of the government is always to assure that everyone can live happily without torment no matter which state in life they are; working or retired everyone has to be able to live comfortably. That is why the government allocates state welfare to the people continually throughout many forms such as 30 baht for all medical care & treatment project which involves the treatment of all diseases for all Thais. And the living allowance for the elderly etc. These things that the government gives to the people for their well-being are good solution. But it would not be good if the allocated budget has to increase every year due to the number of the retirement age population that has increased more and more over the years and causing the government’s initial projects to cross way the actual needs. Despite the governments policy to support the elderly in reality of the welfare of the state to care for the elderly seems to be quite inadequate. Some says that it is not enough for sustenance and claim that the elderly pension do not meet the actual expenses in their everyday life. To summarize many have agreed that the support for the elderly is too little in most peoples eyes. So it is only logic to focus in finding the real need of the living for the elderly population. At present it can be seen that the elderly population is increasing but they are still unable to sustain themselves. There is also a problem with managing their life plan in retirement to be effective and sustainable because most of the population still lack in knowledge and understanding for effective preparation for retirement and causing some people to feel that they do not have enough support regardless of whether government agencies provide state welfare or not. In this research the researcher studied the sustainable management planning for retirement: a case study of the Chet Samian community Photharam District Ratchaburi Province. The researcher uses survey research which applies quantitative research methods. (Quantitative Research Method) using the Chi-square test method and the sample in this research is the population of working age group aged 25-59 years living in Chet Samian community Photharam district Ratchaburi province. A total of 400 people were aimed at the following research objectives: 1) To study the attitudes and behaviors of life management of people in retirement age by considering the sample group working age between 25-59 years old. 2) To find ways to promote sustainable planning for life after retirement and 3) To study the problems that occur before and after retirement by considering the sample group working age between 25-59 years old. After the researcher has collected the data and used it for analysis. The researcher found that most of the personal data of the sample population were female aged between 30-40 years single no children bachelors degree with income less than 15000 baht being a civil servant/state enterprise employee. Their intention after retirement is to run a personal business currently living with family (husband/wife/children) and intends to continue living with family (husband/wife/children) after retirement equal proportions between homeowners and residents most of them dont have credit cards. In addition the researcher also found that female aged between 25 - 29 years single bachelors degree with income less than 15000 baht is a government official/state enterprise employee has intention after retirement that they will run a personal business currently living with family (husband/wife/children) and intends to continue living with family

This research presents the processing of fresh guava into guava juice product. to be kept for consumption and distribution in the local area It is an alternative career path that helps rural farmers earn more. and create additional careers for the family But farmers still lack the correct technology tools and processing methods in each production process. Therefore there was a problem of insufficient cleanliness taking a lot of time resulting in unacceptable quality and the production is low the postharvest engineering research group has conducted research to find suitable guava juicer. This study is based on working principles of food processing equipment in general use. Come as a guideline to develop improve and create prototypes. The original guava juicer was a grater roller squeezer. There is a guava-sized subsystem consisting of a sub-chamber with grated rollers and the waste water barrier system consists of a juice sieve chamber a waste separation room a spiral conveyer and a sweeper set. various parts that come in contact with the guava juice is made of stainless steel The power source uses a 1-horsepower electric motor a single-phase electrical system a voltage of 220 volts. The machine has the ability to block water at a rate of 250 kg / hour. The juice obtained must be filtered out again with a centrifugal bag filter capable of filtering water at a rate of 50 liters/hour. The prototype guava juice machine costs 40000 baht and the centrifugal filter bag costs 5000 baht. With just one such machine each of these machines can produce 28000 liters of guava juice/year (112000 bottles a year) able to get a return in 0.08 years with an average processing cost of 4.48 baht/bottle which is appropriate in engineering economics. In investment use a ready-to-drink guava juice machine. Fresh guava ingredients are available throughout the year and have 200 business days/year.

In this study the wind speed characteristic and evaluation of wind power generation at Samoeng district Chiang Mai were investigated using wind speed data and wind direction data during time of January 2011 to December 2011 and measured at a height of 20 40 and 80 m above ground level. It was found that the mean wind speed of 3.8 3.92 and 4.30 m/s. While the mean wind direction of 20.73% and indicating from the southwest. The mean of power density of 107 W/m2 the shape parameter (k) was 1.715 1.633 and 1.783 scale parameter (c) of 3.649 3.651 and 4.092 m/s the mean of wind shear coefficient was 0.19. The evaluation of wind energy for electricity generation by install the wind turbine of Nordex N50 from Germany and Vestas V90 from Denmark were capacity of 800 kW and 3 MW. It could produce annual electricity of 1761379 kWh and 3772400 kWh and the capacity factor show 25.13% and 14.35% respectively. Finally the results showed the northern area of Thailand was suitable for wind power development in further.
