  abstract = {{V}ietnamese migration is not a new phenomenon in {L}aos, but is particularly on the rise since the 1990s. {W}hile studies have mainly examined these mobilities with regards to issues of state sovereignty, little is known about the lived experiences of {V}ietnamese migrant workers in {L}aos. {D}rawing on ethnographic findings collected in 2018 in {S}avannakhet. in southern {L}aos, and during several years of field research carried out in this country, this paper explores the genealogies of migration paths and the sexual careers of {V}ietnamese male construction workers. {T}he migration of these migrant workers, primarily driven by economic motives, heavily relies on their extended kinship and friendship networks. {I}n {S}avannakhet, they create {V}ietnamese enclaves while legitimising their presence drawing on colonial stereotypes about {L}ao people. {T}his new environment enhances their financial situations and increases their sexual freedom, consequently reconfiguring marital situations in ways that are closely tied to their socio-economic status. {I}n turn, our study sheds light on the construction of dislocated masculinities while raising questions about {HIV} and {STI} vulnerabilities in cross-border migration in {S}outh-{E}ast {A}sia.},
