This study explains the rural-urban movement in Thai society by utilizing rational choice theory centering on human capital and social capital approaches. Different from traditional push-pull theory explaining migration as a response to economic differences between origin and destination areas, this study focuses on human capital and social capital as the determinants of rural-urban migration patterns and processes because both factors are resources helping to reduce costs and risks of migration. While human capital, such as education, skills, occupations, and migration experiences, is an important human resource that help migrants to find better opportunities in the destination, social capital embedded in social networks connects migrants and nonmigrants and relates migrants within an area of the destination altogether. One important aspect of this study is that, in rural Thai society where the Buddhist ethic supports strong social obligation and family values, kinship networks may play more significant roles in the migrants' decisions than other forms of social networks. Therefore, migration patterns may depend largely on whether or not villagers have strong ties in the origin or in the destination.

This study analyzes information from Nang Rong Projects 1994 CEP-CPC data collected by the Carolina Population Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and the Institute for Population and Social Research in Mahidol University of Salaya, Thailand. Logistic regression analysis is employed in order to test the principal hypothesis: human capital and social capital, especially kinship networks or blood ties, are significant determinants of the individuals' migration behaviors and return migration intentions. Results of this study may help scholars to understand migrants and potential migrants as people who weigh and evaluate not only economic factors, but also social factors as they engage in a migratory process within a Thai social and cultural context.
