Abstract
Most households in upstream and downstream villages are affected by moderate to high risks, while midstream villages encounter moderate-low risks. Data was collected in the summer period, the first rainy peak, second rainy peak and winter of 2013-2014 from 42 fish cage farming households from four villages in upstream, midstream, and downstream sections. The thesis studies mobility as an adaptation to risk in the Ping River Basin, Thailand. Climate-related risks, especially drought, were affected by irregular low level of water storage and runoff, extreme events in rainfall amount and temperatures from regional to local level, as well as cage location.
