Pushing past the definitions: migration from Burma to Thailand Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS MIGRANT WORKERS ASYLUM SEEKERS LOSS OF ASYLUM This report examines the mixed migration of people from Burma into Thailand and the ever-blurring nexus between migration and asylum. It provides a discussion of the classifications assigned to this population by Thai authorities; a profile of the people; the reasons why they decide to leave Burma (including discussions of forced relocations and land confiscation, forced labor and portering, taxation and loss of livelihood, and war and political oppression and economic conditions); the violence and security issues they face; and the recent drive to officially return 'illegal migrants' to established reception centers in Burma. 2026-09-30T11:56:55Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33358470.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Pushing_past_the_definitions_migration_from_Burma_to_Thailand/33358470 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
