N2  - There is a growing concern on the impacts of climate change and climate variability on water resources,  agriculture,  fisheries,  and  consequently  livelihood  of  local  people  in  Lower Songkhram River Basin of Thailand, where is a flood plain with freshwater swamp forests, marshlands,  and  small  streams.  Those  things  provide  livelihoods  for  people  living  in  this area. Thus, it is important to examine the people{u2019}s perceptions onclimate change and climate variability and its impact on their livelihood. In addition, this research will help the policy makers to scale up innovative adaptation measures by study the local people adaptation. As a  result,  the  objectives  of  this  study  are  to  analyze  the  recent  and  future  trend  in  hydro-climatic and water quality, to examine the level of people{u2019}s perception of climate change and  climate  variability  at  the  household  level,  and  study  the  people  adaptation  strategies against the climate change impacts on water availability and agriculture production. Climate  data  were  analyzed  through  trend  analysis.  The  trends  have  been  calculated  by Mann-Kendalltest and Sen{u2019}s slope. In  part  of  precipitation  indices,  it  shows  significant trends in six indices from seven indices but different station in recent trend. Mostly, there are  significant  trends  under  RCP8.5 during  2055s.  For  RCP4.5,  there  are  trends  only in Sakon Nakhon province. In part of temperature indices, it shows significant trends in some indices  in  recent  trend.  For  the  future  trend,  mostly  have  significant  trend  under  RCP8.5 during 2085s.Moreover, there are some trends lightly in another future periods.As  agriculture  is  highly  sensitive  to  climate  or/and  weather,  the  production  processes  are impacted by any type of changes in it. To understanding   the rural farming community{u2019}s perception of climate change impacts on their socio-economic activities and environment, their  adaptation  at  the  household  level  and  opinions  on  government  mitigation  measures. This  study  is  based  on  both  primary  and  secondary  data  collected  via  a  survey  of  25 households in three villages. The results show that people canperceivethe change in rainfall and temperature but they cannot perceivethe change in season
