The ratio of existed credit union cooperatives in the village of the northern 6 provinces was 3.22 percent. Therefore, there is an opportunity to expand the work of the credit union to cover the rest of 96.77 percent. It was recommended that the Credit Union Cooperative and Credit Union League of Thailand should allow for more public relations and so that better understanding of working principles of credit union can be achieved. Monitoring of credit union work should be done regularly to help solving the existing problems in the process by the staff from Credit Union League of Thailand. The existed members should pay more attention on joining the activities of the cooperative for their own benefits and to develop the organization.
