Abstract

This quantitative researched was purposed to examine factors affecting access to health service of Myanmar labours in Ranong Province, Thailand, with a population of 300 Myanmar labours in Ranong, using a questionnaire of 0.79 confidence level. Data analysis employed statistics of mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and structural equation modelling. The study found that independent variables of public health management, service readiness, and information perception correlated with dependent variable of health services access at 0.46, 0.33, and 0.67, respectively. Hypothesis testing through structural equation modelling as per empirical data revealed that all three variables significantly (p =.05) affected Myanmar labours’ access to health service.
