Abstract
The purpose of this article was to investigate space and interaction among ethnic groups living in Mueang Krabi in the reign of King Rama VI as described in Nirat Mueang Krabi. The findings showed that the Nirat poem displayed different forms of interactions among ethnic groups at various places including downtown areas, government offices, markets and cockfighting rings. Meanwhile, the interactions among those people reflected their roles, responsibilities as well as relationships to the certain places in the dawn of the modernization era. The presentation of the poet also revealed roots of ethnic diversity or traces of the ethnic origins of people in Krabi Province nowadays that included Thais, Chinese, Malays and sea gypsies.
