Shixin Zhao — 2025-10-25

This study investigated the impact of Online-to-Offline (O2O) service quality on consumer intentions and behavior within the context of online shopping for sporting goods in China. Using a convenience sampling method, data were collected from 375 valid respondents through an online survey distributed using online questionnaire in China. The study identified five key dimensions of online service quality tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance and examined their effects on perceived value, customer satisfaction, and purchasing behavior. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis was employed to evaluate the measurement and structural models, with bootstrapping techniques used to estimate the parameters.

Empirical findings reveal that tangibility and empathy significantly enhanced perceived value, while reliability, responsiveness, and assurance showed no significant impact. Furthermore, perceived value was strongly correlated with customer satisfaction and purchasing behavior, confirming that higher perceived value increases satisfaction and repeat purchase intentions. Trust, as a mediating factor, plays a crucial role in influencing customer satisfaction and loyalty. The research highlights the importance of improving service quality dimensions and fostering consumer trust to enhance competitive advantage in the O2O platform. The study provided strategic recommendations for platform operators to optimize their service processes, improve customer experience, and built long-term customer loyalty.

DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENTAL TAX LAW FOR THAI INDUSTRY: A LAW AND ECONOMICS PERSPECTIVE

Jakkit Krataiwongphachand — 2025-10-25

This article proposed a framework for developing environmental tax law for Thai industry, employing a Law and Economics analytical approach to enhance the legal effectiveness in addressing environmental issues, particularly industrial pollution such as wastewater, greenhouse gas emissions, and hazardous waste. The study advocated for the adoption of environmental taxation based on the Polluter Pays Principle to create economic incentives for pollution reduction and to encourage behavioral change within the industrial sector in alignment with environmental goals. A comparative analysis was conducted with case studies from OECD countries such as Sweden, the Netherlands, and Switzerland that successfully designed and implemented effective environmental tax systems compared with Thailand, which lacks robust economic incentives and enforcement mechanisms. The article highlights the importance of designing flexible and appropriate environmental tax schemes, coupled with transparent governance, public participation, and integration with clean technology policies. These elements are essential for achieving tangible outcomes in law enforcement. Ultimately, the article emphasized the integration of environmental tax law with sustainable development objectives, aiming to foster a balance between economic growth and environmental preservation, an essential direction for long-term reform of Thailand’s environmental legal system.

A STUDY OF THE ROYAL THAI ARMY REGULATION ON THE CONSCRIPTION PROCESS: LEGAL ENFORCEMENT AND PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION BY LOCAL CONSCRIPTION UNITS

Santisphong Thampiya — 2025-10-25

This academic article examined the Royal Thai Army Regulation on the Conscription of Overdue Military Draftees, focusing on its legal enforcement and practical implementation at the local level. The objective was to evaluate the consistency between the written regulation and the actual practices of military selection officers, and to propose improvements in both content and operational mechanisms to ensure fairness, transparency, and efficiency. The findings indicated that the regulation played a crucial role in operationalizing the intent of the Military Service Act B.E. 2497 (1954), with a clearly structured process encompassing pre-selection, selection, and post-selection phases, including health-based classification criteria. However, in practice, selection officers often exercised discretion in cases that deviated from the standard framework, such as those involving chronic illness, disabilities, or gender identity, leading to variations in procedures across regions. The article introduced the Three Dimensions of Justice model, Legal, Operational, and Civic to underscore that justice within the conscription system required integration between legal principles, officer conduct, and mechanisms for public participation. Key policy recommendations included revising the regulation to address complex scenarios, enhancing the training of selection committees for deeper legal comprehension, and establishing transparent mechanisms for both internal and external oversight. The article concluded by proposing a framework to foster public trust in the conscription system, aiming to align military selection procedures with the principles of the rule of law and human rights in a modern democratic society.

The study also demonstrateed that Buddhist principles can be effectively integrated with modern management theories, particularly in human resource management through the Four Brahmaviharas, situational leadership through the Sappurisadhamma 7, Seven Qualities of a Good Person, systematic problem-solving through Ariyasacca 4, the Four Noble Truths, and sustainable development through the Eightfold Parth, Middle Path principle. The proposed conceptual framework benefited administrators in developing leadership skills and organizational management, public administration scholars studying ethical management approaches, and policymakers creating balanced and sustainable development. This research contributed significantly to advancing knowledge in Buddhist management and the application of Buddhist principles in contemporary administration.

-TOKEN: GOVERNMENT’S FUNDRAISING INNOVATIONS

Prasitchai Pipakdee — 2025-10-25

This academic article examineก the new dimensions of government fundraising, supported by financial innovations, by issuing government digital tokens called G-Tokens or Government Tokens. The Cabinet has approved a new borrowing method proposed by the Ministry of Finance, through the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), under the name Thailand Digital Token. The aim is to allow people to access new forms of investment and savings instead of purchasing government bonds in the traditional way, and to develop the digital economy system according to the current government’s policy, it is also a new method of raising funds or borrowing money from the government that will be used for the first time in Thailand and the first in the world. Government borrowing under the Public Debt Management Act of 2005 specifies the borrowing method in Section 10. In addition to being able to do so by making a contract or issuing a debt instrument, the last paragraph of the section also allows for other methods to be done as determined by the Cabinet. The government has therefore taken the opportunity provided by this law to devise new tools to stimulate the economy, which has been weak since the past and continues to the present. The government has set a plan to complete the first phase with a budget of 5 billion baht by the end of 2025.

TRISIKKHA FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ]OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATIONS

Thanit Sinsuphasawang — 2025-10-25

This academic article aimed to study and propose guidelines for applying the principle of Tiisikha (Threefold Training) in the development of human resources in local administrative organizations, which were governmental bodies playing a vital role in providing services and improving the quality of life of the people. Human resource development is considered an essential mission intended to enhance the capacities of personnel in terms of knowledge, skills, and morality, in accordance with the human resource development process consisting of training, education, and development. Investment in human resources is regarded as a form of national investment that enhanced efficiency and progress for both organizations and the country. However, sustainable human resource development requires integration with Buddhist principles, particularly Tisikkha, which comprised Sila, the development of behavior and discipline; Samadhi, the cultivation of mental stability; and Panna, the enhancement of knowledge, understanding, and analytical thinking. The application of Tisikkha contributed to personnel developing appropriate behaviors, stable mental health, and wisdom to solve problems prudently, resulting in more effective and responsible work performance. The development of human resources in local administrative organizations should combine academic approaches to human resource development with the principle of Tisikkha in a systematic manner, so that personnel would achieve complete potential in knowledge, morality, and professional competence, thereby enabling them to fulfill organizational missions and achieve local development goals effectively and sustainably.

THE SPIRIT OF GRAVITY IN THE 19TH CENTURY TO HUMAN EVOLUTION IN THE AI AGE

Phra Terapon Nutthiko — 2025-10-25

This academic article aimed to study and analyze the spirit of gravity in the 19th century towards the human evolution in the AI era. It was found that the human evolution is someone who can create new values by transcending traditional morality and realizing their highest potential. This individual understands and wisely utilizes AI to enhance their capabilities, rather than becoming a slave to technology. The true value of the human evolution lies in spiritual happiness, stemming from self-development and creating a better future. The over human will recognize the necessity of developing skills and abilities that cannot be replaced by AI, such as creativity, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. In this dimension, the human evolution is one who does not succumb to resignation, nor blindly cling to the past, but instead uses history as a lesson and inspiration. The spirit of gravity in the context of AI refers to our continued adherence to technical limitations, narrow objectives, and the fear that accompanies AI development. These factors hinder humans from using AI as a tool to transcend their limitations and achieve complete freedom from desires and attachments. If humanity wishes to achieve human evolution by leveraging AI, we must overcome these spirits of gravity and view AI as a tool that can help us access pure spiritual power and renounce worldly attachments. This is how we can move beyond the spirit of gravity towards becoming the human evolution in the AI era.

LEGAL RIGHTS OF BUDDHIST MONKS IN PROPERTY, INHERITANCE, AND TAXATION: A DOCTRINAL AND COMPARATIVE LEGAL STUDY OF THAILAND, NEPAL, AND SRI LANKA

Phramethiwatcharaprachathon (Prayoon Nantiyo) — 2025-10-25

This article examined the legal status and rights of Buddhist monks in Thailand concerning property ownership, inheritance, and taxation under secular law. It explored the relationship between state legislation and Buddhist monastic discipline. The study analyzed relevant Thai laws, including Sections 1622–1624 of the Civil and Commercial Code, Section 42(17) of the Revenue Code, the Inheritance Tax Act B.E. 2558 (2015), and notable Supreme Court decisions. The article compared these with Nepal’s customary Guthi trust system and Sri Lanka’s trustee-based model under the Buddhist Temporalities Ordinance. Findings revealed that although Thai law attempts to align with Buddhist monastic discipline by limiting monks’ rights in property and inheritance, interpretative ambiguities remain particularly regarding the legal status of monasteries as beneficiaries and the management of digital assets. In contrast, Sri Lanka employs formal trustee oversight under religious property law, while Nepal relies on flexible customary mechanisms, The Guthi. Policy recommendations included revising statutory language, developing joint administrative protocols between state and monastic institutions, applying digital transparency tools, and promoting religious testamentary practices.

ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEXES IN THAILAND’S FUTURE: ECONOMIC PROSPECTS AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES

Pokin Kwaounla — 2025-10-25

The development of entertainment complexes in Thailand has increasingly garnered attention from the public sector, private investors, and society as a whole. The concept of establishing integrated entertainment complexes aimed to stimulate the economy, boost tourism revenue, and generate new employment opportunities, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted the national economy. This article focused on analyzing the role of entertainment complexes in shaping Thailand’s future through multiple dimensions, including economic, social, cultural, and legal perspectives. Drawing on academic research, scholarly articles, and international case studies, the article evaluated both the opportunities and challenges posed by such developments. While entertainment complexes have the potentials to generate substantial national income, ethical concerns and risks related to social issues, such as gambling addiction, increased crime rates, and economic inequality, remain critical points of debate. These challenges must be carefully managed through effective legal frameworks and public policies. Accordingly, this paper proposed policy recommendations to ensure that the development of entertainment complexes provides long-term, sustainable benefits for Thai society.
