Why are there so many Fujianese and Hakkas in southern Thailand?

At the beginning of the 20th century, Chaoshan people dominated, accounting for 40%, others such as Hainanese 18%, Hakka 16%, Fujian 16% and Guangfu 9%. In addition to Zheng Xin's love and chain migration, another important factor that Chaoshan people have an advantage is that Shantou is the earliest place for ships sailing between Bangkok and South China, and a large number of Chaoshan people disembark from here for Thailand.

The royal family of Thailand was first founded by Zheng Xin (also known as Zheng Zhao, Thai name: Daxin) of the Qing Dynasty in China. Zheng Xin, a descendant of China hipsters, defeated the invasion of Myanmar, unified all ministries in Thailand and laid the basic map of modern Thailand. He was honored by the Thai people as "the emperor who annexed Wu Li" and was one of the five "emperors" in Thai history. During Zheng Xin's reign (1767- 1782), Chaoshan people were encouraged to flood into Thailand. Some of them are engaged in business, while others are engaged in reclamation and planting sugar cane and pepper for export. On the east bank of Chao Phraya River, near Wangcheng today, there is a Chinese community.
