Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this paper explores the lives of western men by focusing on their shifting social locations and experiences of gendered and economic mobility. While the men in this study could be considered 'lifestyle migrants', our findings complicate how lifestyle migration literatures commonly represent migrant subject positions and privilege, and we find that gender and intimate relations play a much larger role in this context than other studies of lifestyle migration suggest. We found class diversity among western men in Thailand and, over time, a complex set of constraints and immobilities that thwarted their ideals of greater control or self-reinvention. We argue that the broad pattern of economic precarity and uncertain futures among these men intertwines substantially with the gendered desires and transnational intimate relationships that originally motivated their migration. 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.
