Mon swans in the city of heaven. Being Mon or people from the same region, who all share resources and live in the same environment, dependency and kinship can arise quickly. When they are related as one family, they become a part of creating a multicultural society that connects life with water, a meeting point for people of different races, gradually increasing the value of life and passing on wisdom to Nakhon Sawan. The Mon identity is also inter-dependent with the people residing in the same region who share the same resources and rely upon the same environmental conditions. So, the development of community networks was a fast process, especially since alliances were always being “formed…by marriage”. Together, the people here have built “a pluralistic society” that maintains a physical and spiritual intimacy with “the ways of water”. The intersection of different cultural and ethnic groups has expanded the meaning of “collective ways of life”. And through the passing on of “an abundance of folk knowledge”, Nakhon Sawan has certainly lived up to its name… “Heavenly City”.
