Bodily Practices and Subjectivities of Lao Migrant Female Sex Workers in a Thai Border Town
This study examines the bodily practices of Lao female sex workers in a Thai border town, focusing on how these practices are shaped by subjectivity and negotiated within a context of transnational mobility and legal ambiguity. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study draws on in-depth and narrative interviews, as well as participant observation, with 20 Lao women. Findings show that bodily practices—such as cosmetic surgery, skin …
The invisible intersectionality of female gender in Thailand’s response to the HIV epidemic
This article uses feminist perspectives to analyse Thailand's response to the HIV epidemic from its inception in 1984 until today. In particular, it applies the WHO Gender Responsiveness Assessment Scale to explain how and to what degree gender considerations have been integrated into successive HIV policies and programmes. Findings show that, from 1984 to 1996, HIV prevention policies were generally insensitive to gender and only started to pay …
Prospects and Contexts of Demographic Transitions in Thailand
Thailand is facing an era of the “second demographic transition” in which the falling of fertility and mortality rates occur simultaneously. The country’s birth rates are now below replacement, causing the labor force to shrink gradually, while population aging rates grow faster. These major demographic forces are putting Thai society into the so-called “demographic disruptions” period, which will transform Thai society considerably. The shifting…

Emotional clashes and female public nudity in Thailand
This article revisits cultural controversies over female public nudity in Thai society. It uses Songkran's topless dancing in 2011 and a bare-breast painting performance on the 'Thailand's Got Talent Show' in 2012 to explore cultural and emotional clashes in Thailand's 21st century. It shows that these two cases of public female nudity drew deep and divergent emotional responses from different groups in Thai society. These cases clearly revealed …
A situational analysis of HIV/Aids-related discrimination in Bangkok, Thailand
Unlike its other Asian counterparts, the national prioritizing of HIV/AIDS in Thailand, through the development of a number of preventive initiatives, has resulted in a declining rate of incidence. While there are no laws overtly protecting the rights of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), substantial written policy has been enacted. Yet in spite of this highly protective legislative and policy environment, discrimination against PLWHA continues…
The fluidity of Thai women's gendered and sexual subjectivities
This paper reports on an ethnographic study of gender and sexuality as factors within contemporary Thai factory women's subjectivities. Competing discourses of what it means to be a woman in contemporary Thai society make women's self-presentations fluid and incoherent. Data from participant-observation and open-ended interviews suggest that the fluidity and inconsistency of women's self-presentations reflect both their negative experiences and o…
