Abstract

The article discusses the government policy of Thailand toward the hill tribes in the country, whose administrative category was changed to "ethnic group" after 2002. Initially, it was believed that the hill tribes consisted of indigenous people, but during the post-Cold War period they started to take illegal migrant workers from neighboring countries as members.
