Greying Thailand: Stateless Elders in Thailand

In the picturesque landscapes of Thailand, where vibrant cultures and tourism thrive, there exists a hidden predicament that often goes unnoticed. Amidst the beauty and serenity, a group of individuals remain unseen and unheard, stateless elders. Thai PBS World seeks to shed light on their struggles, their dreams and the challenges they face as they navigate life without citizenship.

According to the information from the Bureau of Registration Administration in 2022, Thailand is home to nearly one million stateless people, many of whom are elderly. Stateless individuals lack a nationality and the legal rights that come with it. This crisis, often overshadowed by other issues, leaves them vulnerable and marginalised.
