THAILAND 🇹🇭 | The Mon community in Phra Pradaeng district, Samut Prakan Province.

The Mon ethnic group, which was an ethnic group that had a prosperous ancient civilization in Southeast Asia.

Since the Mon kingdom was peaceful, they didn’t prepare their military force. Therefore, they were invaded by the Burmese empire. These two ethnic groups continuously had a conflict until the mid-18th century; the Mon lost its sovereignty to Burma. This forced more and more Mon people to immigrate to Thailand and established many Mon communities, for example, Mon communities in Pak Kret, Bang Kradi, Phra Pradaeng, and so on.

The Mon community in Phra Pradaeng is also one of Mon ethnic groups that has an outstanding Mon cultural conservation. They also established the Wat Khan Lat Mon museum which is one of the famous learning museums for Mon people.

Mon people in Phra Pradaeng had the bond and cooperative intention to conserve their cultural heritage in the area. The strength of the community encouraged the community members to establish "Wat Khan Lat" Mon local museum which is the center of cultural data collection presenting the history and belief of the Mon tradition.

This is the cultural conservation of the community by relying on the cooperation between families, temples, and schools. In addition, the museum also provided the Mon ethnic knowledge in every academic dimension.
