ลิ้มรสความทรงจำา : ตากใบ

While focusing on the voices, experiences, and perspectives of women, the project also collected documents pertaining to the events of Tak Bai from governmental and civil society organizations, religious and legal institutions, and the media and the affected communities. [...] We envision that by communicating the experiences and recollections of those caught up in the events of Tak Bai we can provide those beyond the deep south with a better understanding of the incident and ongoing unrest. [...] The stories recounted during the interviews consisted of recollections of the events, recollections of loss, of loved ones, and the significance of certain items as objects of remembrance.

[...] The hopes of outsiders and the hopes of insiders look very different in the details and the details of the latter are the memories contained in this book.
