Challenges of Financial Planning for Performing Hajji of Muslims in Thailand

Phaisan Kayem — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research consists purposes were 1. to study financial planning for performing Hajj among Thai Muslims, 2. to examine approaches to promote financial planning for Hajj and 3. to propose appropriate financial planning strategies suitable for the context of Thai Muslims. This study adopted a mixed-methods research design integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire, in-depth interview protocol and focus group discussion record form. The quantitative sample comprised 400 Muslims in Thailand, determined using Cochran’s sample size formula (W.G. Cochran). In addition, 27 key informants were selected through purposive sampling for the qualitative phase. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.73. Data collected from the questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation. Qualitative data obtained from the in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that 1) Financial planning for performing the Hajj among Muslims in Thailand consists of three dimensions 1.1) Financial goal setting and life goal orientation, including knowledge and understanding of personal financial planning, objectives, and factors influencing personal financial planning, were overall at a high level (x̄ = 3.65, S.D. = 0.58) 1.2) Spending and saving behaviors, including saving patterns, financial allocation, written financial planning, implementation and review of spending behavior, timeframes for saving, future savings, and emergency funds, were also overall at a high level (x̄ = 3.52, S.D. = 0.61) 1.3) Information awareness, attitudes and perceptions toward performing the Hajj were at a moderate level overall (x̄ = 3.38, S.D. = 0.63) 2) Guidelines for promoting financial planning for the Hajj involve multiple approaches. Government agencies emphasize support in expense management and information provision for Muslims undertaking the Hajj, with a focus on long-term savings and the establishment of community-based Hajj funds. Islamic banks and the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives apply wadiah-based savings schemes as long-term accounts with returns and lottery incentives; however, limitations remain in public understanding, promotion, and the requirement to travel with designated tour companies. Insurance institutions, such as Takaful providers, promote life and property protection but do not directly focus on Hajj expense planning. Meanwhile, the three Islamic cooperatives in the southern border provinces encourage members to save and provide financing for Hajj and Umrah, emphasizing smooth and secure financial management and 3) The establishment of village or community Hajj funds can significantly expand opportunities for Muslims to access the Hajj more equitably. The study found that limitations within Islamic financial institutions tend to restrict access to those who are depositors, customers, or members of those institutions. As a result, opportunities to perform the Hajj often depend on individual initiative in seeking access. Establishing community-based Hajj funds would shift this dynamic by bringing opportunities closer to individuals, thereby increasing equitable access for a broader segment of the Muslim population in Thailand.

This research consists purposes were 1. to examine the institutional relationships between the rule of law, government effectiveness, and political stability and corruption control in ASEAN countries and 2. to compare the relative importance of legal factors and state administrative effectiveness in controlling corruption within the context of political stability and economic development. This study employed a quantitative research design. The research instrument consisted of a secondary data recording form developed by the researcher to compile indicators from international databases. The study utilized secondary data drawn from the Worldwide Governance Indicators database and global development indicator reports of the World Bank. The sample comprised 11 countries, including ASEAN member states and Timor-Leste, selected through purposive sampling. The data covered a 12-year period from 2012 to 2023. Data were analyzed using a fixed-effects regression model, and estimation errors were adjusted using robust standard errors. The results indicate that 1) government effectiveness is the only institutional factor that exhibits a statistically significant positive relationship with corruption control (β = 0.440, p-value = 0.0237), the rule of law and political stability do not show statistically significant relationships when jointly estimated in the same model (β = 0.345, p-value = 0.1406, and β = 0.005, p-value = 0.9245, respectively) and 2) the level of economic development (GDP per capita) does not have a statistically significant effect on reducing corruption in this context. These findings suggest that the influence of formal legal frameworks (de jure) may be attenuated when considered alongside the state’s de facto administrative capacity, partly due to structural overlap among governance indicators. The results highlight that enhancing public sector capacity and adopting digital technologies are more critical for corruption control than focusing solely on legal reforms or economic growth.

Punishment Measures for Children and Youth According to the Criminal Code and the Juvenile and Family Court and Procedure Act B.E. 2553

Pornpitchaya Narkwichian — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research consists purposes were 1. to examine the background, concepts and theories underlying the juvenile justice system 2. to study criminal penalties and criminal liability in Thailand and selected foreign jurisdictions, namely the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the French Republic and Japan 3. to analyze legal problems related to punitive measures and the juvenile justice process and 4. to propose recommendations for improving laws governing juvenile offenders in order to enhance legal clarity and ensure the protection of individual rights as prescribed by law. This study employed a qualitative research approach using documentary research methods. The data were collected from criminal law materials and the Juvenile and Family Court and Juvenile and Family Procedure Act B.E. 2553 (2010), including books, articles, academic journals, news reports, research studies, theses, and related academic works. In addition, foreign laws and relevant scholarly publications in both Thai and foreign languages were reviewed. The data were obtained from documentary sources and online databases. The data collected from relevant documents were analyzed using content analysis The study found that 1) Historically, society did not perceive children and youth as likely to commit crimes; therefore, specific punitive measures for them were not established. Over time, however, the increasing incidence of juvenile offenses led to the recognition of the need for appropriate sanctions. While the fundamental purpose of criminal law is to deter crime through punishment, the application of such principles must be contextualized to align with the unique values and social structures of each country. This reflects the understanding that legal systems should be tailored rather than uniformly applied across all nation 2) The punishment and criminal liability measures of Thailand and foreign countries study classified the study into four topics. In England, the United States, the Republic of France, and Japan, the similarity is considering the crimes of violence committed. The principle of intent consists of age from the United States, especially in North Carolina. The lowest age limit of 6 years can be criminalized if they commit a serious and conscientious crime and can apply criminal punishment to children and youth who commit crimes, unlike Thailand 3) Thailand places more emphasis on age than on the type or severity of the offense when determining punishment, often favoring protective rather than punitive measures and 4) It is recommended that courts consider the seriousness of the offense, repeat offending, intent and age in determining appropriate penalties.

This research consists purposes were 1. to examine the perspectives and meanings that leaders of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) attribute to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and 2. to explore decision-making patterns and CSR practices of SME leaders in Samut Sakhon Province. This study employed a qualitative research approach. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview. The target group consisted of 14 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data collected from the semi-structured interviews and relevant documents were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal that 1) SME leaders perceive CSR as closely linked to business survival, relationships with local communities, and the avoidance of social conflicts, rather than as formalized policies or standardized practices and 2) CSR-related decision-making and practices are highly centralized in leaders and are implemented in an informal manner, relying primarily on personal experience, contextual understanding of the local area, and relationships with stakeholders. These practices are shaped by constraints related to resources, time and organizational management systems. Nevertheless, SME leaders are able to exercise responsible leadership through flexibility, direct communication, and trust-building with local stakeholders. The findings theoretically support viewing CSR in SMEs as a context-embedded and relational process, in which responsible leadership functions as a key mechanism linking organizational systems with stakeholder engagement, with important implications for area-based SME development and policy design.
