title: Internal migration in Thailand.
abstract: "Internal migration of the population of Thailand involves a number of distinct forms of movement.  Three forms are identified in this research: single-move, seasonal and repeat.  The first can be treated as long-term migration while the latter two are more temporary.  All forms are characterized by different geographical flows and different selectivity patterns.  Long-term migration is highly selective of young adults, females and the more highly educated.  It is most likely to occur between urban areas or from rural to urban areas.  Temporary migration mainly involves movement back and forth between urban and rural places and is most likely to be engaged in by those with a medium level of education."
