These institutionalised spaces of age(ing) in the 'Global South' represent a new facet of migration in old age. Starting with the question of what motivates people to migrate in old age and to opt for these facilities in Thailand, the article identifies important factors that characterise what these facilities offer and shows the compatibility that exists between these offerings and the heterogeneous needs and aspirations of the older migrants. Transnational intertwinements between Thailand and the Germanophone countries of origin characterise many of the specific features of these facilities, which allow them to present multiple perspectives for extended life options for ageing people from German-speaking countries. They provide institutionalised responses to a range of different hopes and unmet needs associated with the prospect of growing (and being) older while remaining in the country of origin, and at the same time, they address the challenges and potential risks of the migration process. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
