Abstract
Thailand is the one of the South East Asian countries who initiated the ASEAN
Community in 1967, and commenced a building process that will be complete in 2015.
The ASEAN Community comprising the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will become
a single market and production base which is stable, prosperous, and highly competitive,
allowing for the free flow of goods and services. Nurses in Thailand must make efforts to
ensure that they can continue to be successful when these changes are implemented. This is
especially true since health care services is a key economic interest of Thailand, which
provides superior health care services among the Asean countries as evidenced by the
Asean Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Nursing Services in 2006.
