Abstract: While the population is ageing rapidly, we are facing an economic crisis that needs a solution. This study with an elderly group in a Southern Thailand rural area found a suggestion model that applies Participatory Action Research (PAR) with “the ager's social capital” and “the Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEPP)” to empower seniors in solving their problems and needs. After four years, the group was upgraded to be the national social welfare management partner; their careers became a community enterprise, green products were created, and the elders received community-based management care.
