Thailand is the second most rapidly ageing of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. With this rapid pace of population ageing, the demand for long-term care has increased. Due to lower fertility and migration of adult children, the availability of children as a main source of long-term care has been reduced. In order to retain the traditional lifestyle of ageing-in-place, community-based integrated long-term care has been implemented as an alternative approach in Thailand. The development of such community-based care and its challenges can be used as a lesson for other ASEAN countries in confronting ageing societies.
