Thailand has been home to renowned Mon minority communities since the 13th century. In recent times, with the evolving ASEAN policy on the mobility of migrant workers, a growing number of individuals from Myanmar, predominantly of Mon ethnicity, have opted to move to Thailand. This research explores how Thai-Mon and Myanmar-Mon minority groups maneuver challenges through qualitative methods by applying a theoretical framework that encompasses transnational migration, social capital, cultural capital, and socio-linguistics.
