This book focuses on the ways in which unofficial modes of border
crossings are practised by the Thai Ban, along the Mekong Thai-Lao
border. In doing so, the book assesses how these border crossings
can be theorised as a contribution to existing literature on
borderland studies. With that, the book discusses the importance of
the notion of the Third Space and its effects on the pluralities of
border-crossings in the borderland by weaving together spatial
negotiations, temporal negotiations, and negotiations of political
subjectivity. To illustrate the importance and complexity of the
notion of the Third Space, the borderland of Khong
Chiam-Sanasomboun, an area composed of quasi-state checkpoints as
well as mobile checkpoints, is used as a case study. The author
employs an ethnographic approach using the four methods of
participant observations, interviews, interpreting visual
presentations, and essay readings to examine the everyday practices
of the Thai Ban people in crossing the border between the riverine
villages in the two nation-states of Thailand and Lao PDR. With
this, the findings in the fieldwork reveal that people engaged in
everyday border-crossings in the riverine area do not simply
embrace or reject the existence of Thai-Lao territory. Most of the
time, the stance of Thai Ban people is the mixture of subversion,
rejection, and acceptance of the boundary resulting in the
sedentary assumption in the form of Thai-Lao territory co-existing
with people's everyday mobility.
