King Bhumibol's science known as sufficiency economy philosophy encourages Thai citizens to live based on themselves, and all schools have been teaching their students to cultivate, learn and practice this sustainable theory. The objectives of this research were to 1) study the King's Science operational factors in the sufficiency school under the Lop Buri Primary Educational Service Area Office, and 2) create the model of the operation according to the King's Science of the sufficiency schools. The research sample was consisted of 321 school administrators and teachers by implementing the Yamane technique to stratify random sampling. The research instruments were questionnaire and structured interview form with a reliability of 0.87. The data were analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and content analysis. The research results showed that 1) the King's Science operational factors in the sufficiency school were rated overall at a high level. They were arranged in descending order of their mean values as follows: accomplishment aspects, administration aspects, and activity of student development aspects, and 2) the model of the operation according to the king's science by the case study of sufficiency school was possible, useful, consistent, and suitable for the context. This model also had been approved by the participants of focus group discussion and could be used as a practical guideline for schools in Lop Buri.
