paddy filed) and Na Don has become an abandon land
2. Farming cycles of both paddy fields and dry-rice fields were
changing

than last year.

5. Variety of plant species in dry rice field were decreasing or
disappearing6. Foods from forest are still rich
7. Some aquatic animals have increased; some have decreased

Conclusion
This assessment of the impacts of climate change to
the community at Hin Lek Fai village had made thevillagers become more aware and understanding
about the consequences of such impacts. Despite the
negative changes, some changes were positive for the
community. These findings will help the community to
develop a response strategy and work plan to solve
their problems and adapt to the impact of climate
change in the future. This assessment will also beshared with other communities so that they can
conduct their own assessment in their communities.
