摘要：The findings indicate that the background of folktales of each research area comes from the application of Buddhist philosophy. One folktale told in many versions depends on who the narrator is. The centers of folktales are monasteries and they are always told by monks and the elderly. The main difficulties are a lack of folktale narrators, the majority of children and youths do not know folktales in depth, and many folktales are lost because they are not perpetuated by the present generation. As for the conservation and the development of folktales, all sectors in society should cooperate in these affairs, such as establishing folktale museums in the Isan region, integrating them in school curriculums of all levels and holding folktale telling competitions throughout the region. These folktales benefit the development of virtue and ethics of children and youths in the Isan region and other regions of Thailand.
