Abstracts:
“Family Law and Consolidation of Modern Thai Version of Patriarchy”
By Chalidaporn Songsamphan
In 1976, the so-called Thai ‘family law’ had to be amended since the
Constitution of 1974 establishes the equal status between men and women.
All the laws granting different rights or privileges, usually favorably to
men, had to be revised accordingly. Interestingly, the modification of
these laws on the ground of gender equality was limited significantly by the
claims to preserve different standards of sexual conducts for men and women.
This paper will examine the debates in the Thai parliament in the process of
revising the ‘family law’ to show how different interpretations and
beliefs about the realities of Thai family led to the affirmation or
preservation of modern patriarchal marriage and family.

“Managing Differences in Family Practices of the Karen in Chiang Mai City
of Northern Thailand”
By Kwanchewan Buadaeng
In the past two decades, Karen peoples from mountainous areas of Northern
Thailand have increasingly migrated to cities such as Chiang Mai, the
biggest city in the Upper North. Young people come for study while working
to support themselves. Many others come to work to find more cash to fulfill
their increasing need of modern facilities. At the same time, more migration
from Burma across the border to the North of Thailand has also taken place.
In the urban context, intermarriage between Karen of different background:
different subgroups, original countries, etc, has also taken places. It is
interesting to understand how differences in family practices of Karen from
different background are managed in order to understand the dynamic of
cultural practices and its relations with Karen identity. The paper will
describe two case studies of the intermarriage between Pwo and Sgaw Karen
and between Burmese and Thai Karen, in Chiang Mai city. Data has been
collected within the last two years. The cases show that in the globalized
and urbanized context, some cultural practices have to be adjusted but some
maintained in order to maintain their family relations, and also their
relations with Karen community and broader society.
