Hello,

I would like to know more about this topic: I read somewhere about this as an Asean goal to be achieved in 2015, but do you think this is real? And in what terms?
I mean, do you think that really Asean countries are going to open their borders soon to other countries' citizens/ workers? Is this scenery any realistic or imminent? If so, in what legal form will this happen?

I am from a EU country: will this be juridically similar to the EU mechanism - i.e., an intergovernmental board will modify the Treaties and then every national Parliament will autonomously implement that modification? (if so, it will still take a few years I guess)
Where I can read more about Asean and about this specific topic?
Many thanks.

there isnt free labour movement in 2015, its not the same as the EU

Google ASEAN, you will find many articles.

Good idea indeed.

I was hoping to find someone informed willing to synthetically share his knowledge on the matter, but thanks anyway I will google it and inform by myself.

Hi Soutpeel, interesting, can I ask you how did you form your opinion about this? Thanks.

It was discussed on TV a long time ago, the "free labour movement" is ony for a few types of selected professions, its not a free for all in the Asean region, use the search funtion on TV or Google and you will find this thread

You can google all you want. Fact remains: Thailand has (already) closed the doors. Intellectuals, ranging from medical- doctors to construction-engineers originating from competing S/E Asian countries must fulfill minimum requirements like being able to speak Thai and write Thai in perfection.

Less complicated as farm labor is concerned.

Due to the lack of "productivity", Thaland is simply not ready to take part of a globalized economy where competition rules.

And what does it all mean, as far as Farangs are concerned? Nothing, except the currency exchange rate, looking good for Farangs long term ,

Cheers.
