People in the affected area are seemed to be happy with support from the government of Thailand via EGAT

The villagers formerly fishermen are now have increased income from the other off-farm sources

This case study has showed the real meaningful of stakeholder participations

More than 10 years after the dam construction, there is a huge change in local villagers’ livelihoods

Recommendations from the villagers Improve infrastructure condition

Health centers, hospitals, temples, roads Want EGAT to continue developing community

EGAT Buy shrimp and fish e.g. More development of irrigation in the

community Provide the supports for cultural conservation Develop tourism activites in PMD area Want EGAT supporting them to have cows or

buffalos Provide them jobs
