Bang Kloy is a village where Karen people settled down, located in “Jai Pandin” in the center of Kaeng Krajan Forest. It was their original settlement that they have stayed for 100 years. The name “Jai Pandin” firstly appeared in a military map in 1912. Bang Kloy locals lived with nature, and did some shifting cultivation before the first forest law was regulated for 30 years and 50 years. 

Bang Kloy- Jai Pandin villagers are Pgakenyor people, residing and earning a living in the forest area of Kaeng Krachan District, Phetchaburi Province. Before the announcement of Kaeng Krachan National Park in 1981, their settlement was located in the heart of upstream forest in the park area. They lived like Karen people, doing shifting cultivation, growing local rice and vegetables. At present, the villagers cannot earn their living in the area because of the stony soil with hard and dry conditions where any plants cannot be grown, and insufficient water sources. A number of villagers return to their homeland due to more fertility and deep attachment to their way of living.

Changes of living under the new conditions and emerging contexts lead to potential losses of beliefs and traditions from the Community of Karen People.
