Arising from my research for my Ph.D. thesis (The Economic Impact of HIV/AIDS Morbidity on Households in Upper-North Thailand: Phayao case study), I intend to undertake a similar study in urban areas of Phayao province for comparison. Or to repeat the household survey in the same study location, using the same methods to investigate the changes after 2 years, with the aim to better understand impact and coping strategies. In addition, it would be interesting to conduct an anthropological study to learn more about households’ coping strategies, which can be used to supplement the quantitative survey. In order for generalisation to be made about the economic impacts of HIV/AIDS related illness and death on households in Thailand, a similar study covering both rural and urban areas of all provinces in the upper North region where incidence of HIV/AIDS is very high should be carried out. The study can also be extended to cover other regions for comparison.
