Thai and Chinese people always have had a very good relationship, and we are east Asian so it's a good thing to have Thai Chinese living in Thailand.

I guess that's written by a chinese, the thais without chinese ties would disagree. --84.142.182.239 21:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What should this page be called?

If you are going to propose that this page be moved to "Chinese Thai" or something (a move which I would oppose), please join this discussion on naming conventions which I have initiated. We want to avoid having the same debate about "ethnic group name first or country name first" on every single talk page relating to ethnic groups living outside their ancestral countries. Thank you in advance. cab 10:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

How could Chulalongkorn (Rama V) proclaim law requiring Chinese people in Thailand to adopt Thai surnames in 1909? The Surname Act itself was initiated by his son, the succeeding King Rama VI, and was only enacted as late as 1913. By then Chulalongkorn had already passed away. Was it possible that the writer of the article confused the two king, father and son?

[edit] Notable bla bla bla

Are there reasons why the last section i) comes after 'External Links'? ii) contains only former Thai PMs, apart from King Taksin? Is being the PM the only way to be notable? iii) uses the in-office periods in the brackets after the names? It doesn't say anything about 'list of Thai PMs of Chinese ancestries' or something like that.

• • What is "Khun-jin" in Thai? Can someone type out this phrase in Thai? I think it should be included in the infobox. Mr Tan 08:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History section

"Chinese traders in Thailand, mostly from Fujian and Guangdong, began arriving in Ayutthaya by at least the thirteenth century." - Can't be possible, since Ayutthaya was founded in 1351. --58.10.216.150 (talk) 19:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
