Livelihoods of rural households in Asia increasingly rely on off-farm income and remittances while dependence on land declines. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the role of villages in emerging market economies like Thailand using a typical Thai village as a case study. Results suggest that both agricultural- and migration-oriented livelihood strategies can be useful depending on the macroeconomic conditions. In periods of economic growth, migration contributes to income growth. In spite of long periods of absence, migrants maintain strong ties to their natal village to better cope with situations of economic slowdown. Copyright 2011, Oxford University Press
