The objectives of this research were to study 1) the social exclusion of the ex-war volunteer hill tribe; and 2) the social struggle to liberate the ex-war volunteer hill tribe from the social exclusion in Ban Khiang Fah, Sadao Phong Sub-district, Khao Kho District of Phetchabun Province. Qualitative research methodology by semi-structured interview that passed quality inspection was used. There were 27 key informants consisting of 1) the community leaders and community committees; 2) the community members; 3) representatives of government agencies and private sectors of community areas. The research tool was snowball technique by applying non-participant observation and in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed by analytic induction. This research founded that the social exclusion existed based on the sense of the social unjust made by the state assistance. While the Thai Army gave houses, lands, and money to the ex-communist insurgency groups to end the anti-communist war, the ex-war volunteer hill tribe who used to fight side-by-side with the Thai Army to against communist movements in the area, received nothing. They struggled from helping and supporting after they had requested for equity, the Third Army Area ultimately established the war veteran’s village, providing lands and houses with registration and right possessing certificates, and merging their residential areas with the nearby village in order to access to necessarily public utilities.
