More than 50 per cent of medical practitioners did anticipate some benefits from the AEC. However, they preferred to stay in Thailand rather than other Asean countries because of the Kingdom’s high standards of medical services. They also don’t want to have to adjust to new cultures. Many want to go to developed countries in North America or Europe when they upgrade and grow their career paths.
“Nursing and dentistry will be the most worrying careers, as they will be challenged by inbound professionals from the Philippines and Europe respectively,” Aat said.
He said that according to the survey, only 20 per cent of nurses had a good understanding of the AEC and recognised its benefits. They also had little interest in working abroad, particularly in Asean countries. About 80 per cent of accountants had a good understanding of the AEC, but only half of them saw any real benefit in it.
Only 30 per cent of engineers understood the AEC well, and only 10 per cent saw it as beneficial. Thai engineers work to comparable standards to Singapore and the Philippines, but they have a disadvantage in terms of English-language ability.
Half of Thai architects still lack a good understanding of the AEC and recognise its benefits. However, they see it as a good opportunity to work abroad, especially in Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. Aat said the government should educate skilled labourers and professionals on the benefits and opportunities of the AEC before it kicks in.
