Abstract

This article tries to thoroughly map Thai immigration into Czechia with an emphasis on the nature of the integration process. It analyzes what has not been studied yet, it uses an important comparative perspective, and, in practical terms, it sheds light on whether there is a spatial and social isolation/exclusion which Czechia should tackle.

Four models representing different types of migration and integration of Thais in the Euro-Atlantic area are used as a frame of reference for specifying the main outcomes of the authors' own questionnaire survey (159 Thai respondents, snowball sampling, conducted mainly in Prague, in 2012).
