This research aimed to (1) study the level of quality of life development among persons with disabilities in Phetchabun Province and (2) identify the problems and obstacles in enhancing their quality of life. A documentary research approach was applied by reviewing academic documents, research articles, and official reports published between 2012 and 2024 from databases such as ThaiJo, TCI, and Google Scholar, as well as government publications. The findings revealed that the development of quality of life among persons with disabilities in Phetchabun was at a moderate to high level in terms of access to basic rights, education, and public health services. However, limitations were found in employment opportunities, access to technology, and community participation. The main problems included lack of inter-agency integration, insufficient budget allocation, and social attitudes that hinder equality. Recommendations suggest strengthening support networks, promoting suitable career development, and applying digital technologies to enhance the quality of life and dignity of persons with disabilities.

Factors Affecting Mutelu Behavior of Foreign Tourists at Wat Phakho, Songkhla Province

Artitaya Arinyawat, Kanda Janyam — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aimed to investigate the "Mutelu" behavior of international tourists at Wat Phako, Songkhla Province, and to examine the factors influencing such behavior. The research employed a quantitative approach, with a sample of 400 international tourists visiting Wat Phako, selected through accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.

The findings revealed that most respondents were aged between 40–49 years, held a bachelor's degree, worked as employees, and were predominantly from Malaysia. Overall, the level of Mutelu behavior was moderate. The most popular activity was merit-making, while amulet worship was less favored. Belief in luck and financial stability emerged as the most influential factors, followed by the motivation to feel safe and achieve success. Conversely, acquiring information through books and family had the least influence. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the independent variables collectively accounted for 46.1% of the variance in Mutelu behavior (R² = 0.461), with statistical significance at the .05 level. The significantly positive predictors included acquiring information through books, belief in luck and wealth, the desire for success or fulfillment, and a sense of safety. On the other hand, negative predictors included educational level, health concerns, occupation, and the desire for social acceptance. These findings suggest that Mutelu practices serve as a coping mechanism for managing economic and psychological uncertainty among international tourists, especially in a volatile global context.

This article aimed to examine the operational model of the "Teacher Debt Resolution Network Stations" as a mechanism embodying the "Hand-in-Hand Forward Together" initiative, which sought to sustainably resolve teachers’ debt problems. Using the Logic-based Systems Change framework, the study analyzed five key components: Input, Process, Output, Outcome, and Impact. A qualitative research methodology was employed, combining document analysis of official government records, media sources, and academic literature, with field-based experiences collected from stations across multiple regions in Thailand.

The findings indicated that the network stations effectively served as integrative mechanisms among various stakeholders, resulting in teachers maintaining sufficient net income, reducing bankruptcy-related cases, and achieving sustainable improvements in financial behavior. Simultaneously, the process fostered social capital and a culture of collaboration at the local level. Key lessons learned emphasized the role of local leadership, the importance of robust monitoring systems, and the institutionalization of the "peer-to-peer" support approach within the public education system. Policy recommendations included formalizing the network stations as permanent collaborative mechanisms, developing local financial mentoring networks, and establishing systematic financial education for teachers.
