Migration to and from Bangkok has a decided seasonality tied to the school calendar and a bias toward provincial centers, despite distance from the capital, as sources and destinations. Opportunities in the city, particularly for “higher'’education, rather than dearth in the countryside induces in-migration. Family obligations are the main inducement to out-migration. Sex ratios are biased pronouncedly toward males. Age structures are preponderantly youthful and tied to educational levels. Much of the migrant stream is made up of the minority Chinese community. The character of the migrants and their reasons for moving appear to depend more on the type of source or destination than on distance from the city. The general character of the migrant stream appears to have been maintained for some time, and probably will remain in the foreseeable future
