2.2  Population Distribution Policies

2.2.1  The migration rates to the Bangkok-Thonburi region and to other urban areas in some provinces must be reduced.

2.2.2  Measures to stimulate and support the migration out of the Bangkok-Thonburi area into adjacent areas and other provinces.

2.2.3  Intra-regional migration is to be supported more than interregional migration.

2.2.4  With respect to rural-urban migration, support should be given to the flow of migrants into the principal urban centres of each region, in line with the guidelines laid down for regional development.

2.2.5  The influx of refugees, particularly those from neighbouring countries, should be halted. Those who have already entered Thailand should be encouraged to return to their homelands or to other third countries.
