This book is one of four volumes on a major empirical migration study by leading Thai migration specialists from Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok) for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).The camps on the Thai-Myanmar border are the result of the world's largest resettlement program. However, despite large-scale financial and human resource engagement, little research exists on how successful this resettlement has been. This book provides the first insight on how realistic the policy recommendations are for a durable solution for refugees at the borders. Practitioners and policymakers from governments, international organizations and NGOs will benefit from its findings. The volume is also helpful for anyone studying forced migration and its denouement in the age of globalization

This book is one of four volumes on a major empirical migration study by leading Thai migration specialists from Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok) for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).this volume discusses the environmental impact of temporary shelters for displaced people along the Thai-Myanmar border. Of nine shelters, three were selected for detailed study: Ban ThamHin (Ratchaburi province), Ban Mai NaiSoi (Mae Hong Son province), and Ban Mae La (Tak province). For each shelter, various research methods were used to assess the environmental conditions, analyse the ways of living and use of resources by displaced persons, and disclose their perceptions of the environmental conditions they face. The environmental impact of the shelters on the surrounding areas were also assessed by listening to officials and representatives. The book provides realistic policy recommendations for a durable solution for refugees at the borders. Practitioners and policymakers from governments, international organizations and NGOs will benefit from its findings. The volume is also helpful for anyone studying forced migration and its denouement in the age of globalization

Several government agencies in Thailand generate a variety of international migration-related data, including remittances. The main sources of data are the Immigration Bureau, the Department of Provincial Administration, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Bank of Thailand. The census, which is carried out by the National Statistical Office, does not collect information on international migration. Among the data gaps are lack of data on Thai residents abroad, the return migration of Thai citizens to Thailand, the departure of foreign workers from Thailand, refugees and irregular migrants. Access to data is another problem area. Data may be available, but they are not published, or they are not available in the English language.
