In Mae Sariang Sub-District Municipality Community,

the approach of a new line of ethnicity under the concept
of multiculturalism mainly engages cultural dialogues

as a part of intercultural interactions. This intercultural

policy, which was once applied in Europe after multi-
culturalism, allows people to exchange the dialogues

about their ethnicities, religions, languages, and cultures

while encouraging people to move forward together
with their own cultural identities. In case of Ban Na Thap

Community, multiculturalism is applied to emphasize

coexistence instead of a new ethnicity line by Stewart
Hall. The definition of coexistence focuses on the

peaceful condition in which groups of people coexist
with respect and shared resolutions under various defi-

nitions of tolerance and acceptance.
