SUMMARY:Beyond Connectivity: Development and Emerging Challenges in Thailand
LOCATION:Room 3.06
DESCRIPTION:Connectivity and migration are elaborated in conjunction with t
 he country’ s economic development purposes. Thailand has become the choice
  of the destination country not only for purposes of economic migration, ed
 ucation or family, but also healthcare. The improvement of connectivity in 
 and beyond Thailand expedites mobility and migration. The diverse types of 
 migration have a potential to strengthen the development and economic gains
  due to the contributions of migrant workers and other foreign settlers. No
 netheless, as the destination county, Thailand has also inevitably encounte
 red emerging challenges. In this panel, we discuss various types and conseq
 uences of migration occurring in Thailand in relation to Myanmar, Indonesia
 , and the global north. The first paper on the panel describes the arduous 
 migration process from their hometown in Myanmar and the factors affecting 
 risky journeys. Once arrived at Thailand, migrants’ families are set to com
 ply with Thai law. The next paper introduces racism and prejudice against m
 igrant children in schools as ( un) anticipated outcomes of citizenship edu
 cation and global migration. The paper explores concepts of transnational c
 itizenship, ambivalent identity, and symbolic violence. As migration involv
 es the cooperation of member states in Southeast Asia, the following paper 
 evaluates the state policies on educational cooperation within the ASEAN Co
 mmunity concept by examining a case of School Partnership Program between T
 hailand and Indonesia. The paper highlights policy and agenda settings as w
 ell as implementation and on-going evaluation. Finally, the closing paper g
 oes beyond migration within Southeast Asia. It discusses ageing and transna
 tional care: growing old and getting care of retirees from the global north
  in Thailand. It analyses the use and demand of aged care among Thais and f
 oreign retirees in the face of a “mobility turn” based on a critical reflec
 tion of balancing economic development and health care disparity.
