Thai Fathers Redefine Roles as Modern Fatherhood Gains Ground in Thai Society
A growing wave of research and storytelling is reshaping what it means to be a father in 21st-century Thailand. The latest exploration of Modern Fatherhood highlights diverse experiences across Asia and shows how paternity, masculinity, and emotional connection are evolving in Thai families.
Traditionally, Thai fathers were expected to be breadwinners and authority figures, often distant from their children. Today, urban and rural dads are reimagining their roles to include active caregiving, emotional openness, and deeper involvement in daily family life. This shift mirrors regional changes and is echoed in conversations sparked by Modern Fatherhood, a book published in collaboration with a renowned publishing house and covered by Thai media.
