This chapter explores various forms of female migration from Thailand to Germany. Taking into account the dynamic aspect of the migration processes, it discusses the development of roles and situations within the course of women's lives, their settlement, as well as the formation of a Thai community in Germany. The chapter also draws attention to the diverging perspectives between migrant women and the Nongovernmental Organizations working to combat human trafficking over how to consider this migratory process. The former regard it as marriage migration, while the latter call it trafficking in women. It includes an analysis of statistical data on the development of the transnational migration of Thai women to Germany.
