Abstract
This article aimed to study the ecological implications appeared in the peasant novel, Plae Khao, written by Mai Muang Derm. Even though the novel did not present the ecological concepts directly, we could see the ecological implications that portrayed a relationship between humans and nature through characteristic of the main characters. The novel presented Khwan as one who lived the traditional life and had a strong bond with nature; Riam, as one who lived the modern life and was far away from nature. The ending showed that humans had to get back to nature in the end, just like the death of Khwan and Riam who died in their hometown canal. The novel showed that humans were unable to separate from nature no matter how hard they tried.
