Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines practices of creative social order in transnational social networks of sending Vietnamese migrant workers to the informal sector in Thailand over the course of three decades. The research on which this article is based involved transnational multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in a neighborhood called Làng Thái Lan (Thailand Village) in Vietnam and Sawang district (alias name) in Thailand, as well as a two-day journey of Vietnamese migrants and brokers from Thanh Hóa province to the Lao-Thailand border. The fieldwork was undertaken intermittently from March 2019 to April 2020. The research found that transnational networks which have been constructed are embedded in kinship and neighborhood relations. The research explores the roles of ordinary people as economic and politics actors creating their own social orders of sending Vietnamese migrant workers to the informal sectors in Thailand, and how they have resulted in capital accumulation.
