308 The Meaning of Sufficiency Economy International Conference practice, modified to the requirements of the modern age. Local wisdom in Tha Kham is preserved through specialists on local herbs, and local doctors. In Tha Kham sub-district community knowledge is combined with efforts at SLD and life-long learning. Thus, people should be enabled to implement this knowledge, maintain critical thinking, and work with the community in a changing world; thus become a “learning community”. In the following section the author will explore the meaning of self-directed learning. The Self Directed Learning Framework Based on the works of Knowles (1975), Skeger (1977), Griffin (1983), and Brookfield (1984) self-directed learning can be summarized as motivated by the curiosity of the learner, he/she acquires knowledge by himself/herself according to own needs and adapting the knowledge to one’s own circumstances. In Thailand the concept has been taken up by Somkid Itsarawat (B.E.2538) and Chairit Phosuwan (B.E.2541). In the case of Tha Kham, self directed learning takes place by involving the local people. A scheme for the young was supported by Siam Commercial Company Association, Commercial Siam Thai Bank Ltd., (Plc.); the aim was to increase the capabilities of young people including recourse to local knowledge. The SLD framework was used for the schemes discussed above, as well as in creating and upgrading OTOP products, such as herbal soap, as well as in the management of supplying rubber to factories. Tha Kham Community Government The above activities have been matched with the creation of an organizational structure, a “community government”, headed by the governor, Mr. Sinthop Intharat. This administrative structure was meant to foster the participation and agency of local villagers. Villager associations took over functions that reflect ministries on the national level, such as finance. This “ministry” is responsible for community savings, budgetary policy and social welfare. Another ministry is responsible for Agricultural Affairs. The Tambon administration was divided into 7 ministries as the diagram below shows.
