Persons fleeing the fighting in Burma that choose a legal status have settled in refugee camps. Persons that have gone beyond the law and chosen an illegal livelihood have settled in urban an industrial areas around Bangkok, as well as in cities lining the border between Thailand and Burma. The largest city in the west of Thailand is Mae Sot. The Thai government applies special laws here for border partial citizenship in order to maintain the influx of vulnerable, cheap, disciplined workers.

"Cross-national border development has become an emerging contemporary global phenomenon. Volumes of cross-border trade, investments, and migration across national borders have increased exponentially over the past two decades in many areas of the world. Various intergovernmental agreements and spatial industrialization strategies for each nation have been proposed and implemented under the theme of sub-regional cooperation and regional development planning."
