ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would really like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to my 

master’s project advisor, Assistant Professor Dr. Nitaya Suksaeresup, for her goodwill 

and encouragement throughout my M.A. study.

My heartfelt appreciation and overwhelming gratitude is owed to my special 

reader, Associate Professor Dr. Tipa Thep-Ackrapong, for taking good care of me and my 

master’s project as well as being my idol in the academic world. Also, she has given a 

number of valuable suggestions and shown great patience in supporting me.

In addition, I would like to thank my readers, Assistant Professor Tuanta 

Laosooksri and Mr. Martin Grose from the Faculty of Humanities, for their meaningful 

and useful advice. 

Importantly, I sincerely express my profound appreciation to Mr. Somboon 

Pojprasat from the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Mahidol University, my most beloved senior

classmate, and life-advisor, for all of his devotion in assisting me to reach my life goal.

Last but not least, I am indebted to my dear parents, Mr. Cha-On and Mrs. Pensee 

Kaosa-Ad, who have never been exhausted in their efforts to bring me up to be an 

efficient Thai citizen.
