Domestic Service in Thailand: Reflection of Conflicts in Gender, Class and Ethnicity This article is an adaptation of my Master of Arts thesis in International Relations submitted to the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, Waseda University. I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Glenda Roberts, my supervisor, for her guidance, advice and thoughtful suggestions, as well as Prof. Eiji Murashima and Dr Tom Gill for their valuable comments. I also wish to thank the Rotary International and the Tokio Marine Kagami Memorial Foundation for their gracious funding during my study in Japan.

Despite being commonly known as an exporter of domestic workers, Thailand is in fact a primary importing country as well. Domestic service is an arena in which gender, class and ethnicity collide.
