The objectives of this research were to 1) study patterns and patternsmaking of Hmong tribal top 2) design and develop Hmong tribal top 3) investigate satisfaction towards Hmong tribal top. The sample used in this study were 378 Hmong villagers residing in Mae Chaem District Samoeng District and Ganlayani District. Satisfaction questionnaires towards Hmong tribal top designs and 2 Hmong tribal top prototype developments were used as tool for the consumersatisfaction data collecting. The descriptive used for statistical analysis in the studywere the frequency percentage arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The research findings were as follows; (1) Most of the respondents were married ageing between 26 to 30 years old. They were mainly self-agricultural activities owner having monthly income lower than10000 baht with educational background lower than bachelor degree. The study revealed that majority of male respondents 97.88 % were capable to make Hmong tribal cloth. In contrast majority of female respondent 89.42 % were knowledgeable in Hmong apparel making. Predominantly the respondents largely wore Hmong apparel privately tailored by family member 75.13 % in male respondents and 79.89 in female respondents. Unanimously most of male and female respondents satisfied by the Hmong tribal top prototype 88.89 in male and 81.48 in female because of its ease of movement in all positions. Most of respondents were content in design and Hmong tribal top prototype. Male respondents preferred Hmong male tribal top No.1 to No.2 with average 4.31 and 4.25 respectively. Overall the satisfaction of both designs was in high level. Meanwhile female respondents were satisfied by female top prototype No.1 than prototype No.2 with average at 4.35 and 4.27.

This research aimed to: 1) develop an elderly quality of life promotion model for self-reliance through community product processing: 2) develop community product processing to promote income of the elderly and: 3) promote coexistence activities among the elderly. The research was qualitative research using document examination an in-depth interview with 10 key informants group discussion and non-participant observation. The results showed that: 1) the development of an elderly quality of life promotion model for self-reliance through community product processing encouraged the participation in the community product processing among the elderly: 2) the community products were processed in the community to promote income for the elderly and: 3) the community in collaboration with the municipality promoted the coexistence of the elderly. A new model discovered from the development of quality of life using processing community products was an integration of community knowledge management in processing community products based on the sufficiency economy philosophy. This research led to new the findings as follows. 1) The community participation from the associates included community municipality government organizations educational institutes and supporting organizations. 2) The products focused on herbal products for the elderly that were found in the households easily found and were medicinal plants for cooking such as Moringa lemongrass pandanus Indian Gooseberry etc. 3) The guidelines for promoting activities in coexistence of the elderly included elderly school activities volunteer activities Buddhist important day activities traditional activities and community enterprise members.

This study aimed to develop a homestay village for environmental conservation services. The study divided into 2 stages. The first stage was to study and survey general information and operations of the homestay villages for conservation tourism services. The second stage was to develop the homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services. The mixed methods were employed. The major findings revealed the following: 1. The developed homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services had 6 component’s: (1) Survey a study of document survey of community environment and tourism resources ; (2) Operation planning operation publicizing information to the village people organizing a training on an environmental conservation ; (3) Organization Setting; (4) Relations ; (5) Service welcoming to tourists tourists activities and nearby tourist activities ; and (6) Evolution assessing within the homestays and requesting for evolution from the Tourism Authority of Thailand. In confusion the developed homestay village for environmental conservation tourism services could develop knowledge attitude and behaviors in environmental conservation of the people with homestay service experiences. These people had awareness and responsibility in sustainably environmental conservation in the future.

The purpose of this research was to study the dyeing polyamide/elastane fabric with natural indigo using exhaustion dyeing process. The effects from the concentration of the natural indigo dye thiourea dioxide and sodium hydroxide were investigated. The colour of each dyed material was investigated in term of the CIELAB (L* a* and b*) and K/S value. The color fastness to washing rubbing perspirdation light water sea water and chlorinated water of the dyed samples was determined. The bursting strengrh of dyed polyamide/elastane was evaluated. The best vatting condition was at 50 ̊C for 30 minutes. The optimal formula of dyeing polyamide/elastane fabric using natural indigo was prepared by mixing 200 g/L natural indigo paste 60 g/L thiourea dioxide 1 g/L sodium hydroxide. The fabric dyed in the solution of indigo vatting a shade of dark blue colour. The color fastness to light washing water sea water perspiration and chlorinated water were good to very good. However the rubbing fastness results showed fair level. The bursting strength of dyed fabrics is less than the undyed fabric 3.1%. The optimal ratio of discharge printing on polyamide/elastane fabric were compose of 70 % starch print paste and 30 % discharging agent (KMnO4). The pattern design produced from these combinations in the printing areas on fabrics showed an excellent standard of printing quality. The results confirmed that natural indigo dyes have potential applications in polyamide/elastane fabric dyeing and the dyed fabric can be used produce women’s intimate apparel.
