This international community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of Thai SMEs in integrating sustainable business practices and digital marketing as competitive enhancement strategies, encompassing the development of hard skills, including technical proficiency in digital marketing platforms and the application of sustainable business principles, as well as soft skills such as awareness, commitment, and cross-cultural entrepreneurial adaptability. The program was implemented through socialization, counseling, and hands-on workshops involving 30 MSME partners at Save One Go Market Yaek Kor Por Aor, Thailand. The evaluation was conducted using an outcome-based approach that measured participants' actual achievements through a 15-item assessment instrument. Program success was assessed across these three dimensions: (1) attitudinal change, reflected in heightened awareness and commitment toward sustainable business practices, with a soft skill improvement rate of 82%; (2) social and business-cultural transformation, evidenced by active participant engagement, achieving a score of 78%; and (3) initial adoption of digital marketing as an indicator of hard skill development, with an attainment rate of 74%. The novelty of this program lies in its international community service model conducted in a non-tourism local market, integrating sustainability and digitalization through practical, context-based interventions.]]>
