As a lawyer might expostulate, res ipse loquitor; the results speak for themselves. More work has to be done to raise awareness. While the results of this limited study cannot be generalized, it is suggested that they are indicative of the fact that there is considerable room for a greater effort to be injected into informing sectors within the community of the impact and importance of the forthcoming implementation of the AEC reforms. While the role of universities and by extension schools is very important, the significance of the media appears to be paramount in spreading the message. Areas of concern such as the erosion of culture may require special attention as indeed they have with the integration of numerous cultural identities within the European Union. Proactive interventions to ensure that the convergence of ASEAN cultures does not result in the extinction of Thai culture will require a carefully orchestrated strategy funded by government and perhaps even with the help of the private sector. The overall attitudes of the respondents towards ASEAN and the AEC appear positive. A majority of the respondents, both males and females, considers that Thailand’s membership to ASEAN is beneficial. Those also consider themselves to be ASEAN citizens. The attitudes towards the AEC are also positive. In many instances, the responses of the males and females coincided. The possible influx of foreign workers into Thailand is envisioned as beneficial by most of both genders. There is no gender divide on all these issues. As to the expansion of ASEAN, it is most interesting to note that the majority of male respondents consider that East Timor should be granted membership while the females are equally divided. Overall, most respondents (combining both male and female responses) believe that East Timor should become the eleventh member state. Relaxation of travel restrictions was seen as beneficial and the introduction of a common ASEAN visa was linked to this. Both male and female respondents recognized the importance of increased skill levels in English language and at the same time considered that an ability to use Chinese (both Mandarin and Hokkien) should not be overlooked. Males emphasized the importance of maintaining Thai language skills to a higher degree than females. Males had a negative perception towards the use and importance of a single ASEAN currency and this might be related to the cultural issue or to a strong sense of nationalism. Preservation of culture and a sense of national pride must inevitably be linked. Issues of the need to preserve Thai culture can be read as subtext to many of the responses to the issues raised by the survey. A final suggestion is that on-campus career centers might need to be ‘realigned’ to take into account the benefits that may flow from the implementation of the many mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs). Not only should students as now be assisted with resumé writing and interview techniques, but also to raise their sights to consider the possibilities offered by the creation and integration of a greater ASEAN workforce.
