Abstract

This research has done in the border cities in Southeast Asia, namely Thailand, Lao PDR and Myanmar that straight bordered with China. Border cities are strategic locations for transnational migration, including the mobility of human, goods, information and transfer of ideas, where at the same time also contributed as bridge that linked between two or three different countries in Southeast Asia. China’s economic expansion and people migration from neighbouring countries has influenced the dynamic of economic, social and culture for people who live in border areas, especially in North Thailand. This research focus on the process of transnational migration, the identity of diaspora, and small scale economic activity among diaspora groups in border areas between north Thailand and Myanmar and also Lao PDR.
