Why do Thai people look so different?

The looks of Thais vary greatly because there are many ethnic groups in Thailand.

There are more than 30 nationalities in Thailand. The main ethnic groups are Thai, accounting for 40% of the total population, and the rest are Laos, Chinese, Malays and Khmer, as well as Miao, Yao, Gui, Wen, Karen, Shan, Semang and Shagai. Multi-ethnic integration has led to a great gap in Thai looks.

Thais originated in southern China and migrated to Thailand in the 1 1 and12nd centuries. Archaeologists have discovered many ancient ruins in Man Qing, northeastern Thailand, which proves that Thai culture originated in the bronze culture period about 5,000 years ago. The correct information about prehistory is still unknown, because Thailand's customs and remnants of culture have been changing and are rarely recorded, especially in the eighteenth century, many early cultural relics were destroyed by foreign aggression.

Introduction to Thai

Like many other languages in the world, Thai is a complex mixture of cultures. Many words in Thai come from Pali, Sanskrit, Khmer, Malay, English and Chinese.

Thais claimed to have left Yunnan in the Song Dynasty and came to Thailand. Linguists believe that in the fourth century BC, Thai speakers may still live in the Hanjiang River Basin (the territory of Chu at that time). Now Thai, Lao and Zhuang people all speak Dong and Zhuang languages.

Thai is basically composed of monosyllabic words, which was created by King Langanxing of Sukhothai Dynasty in 1283 according to Mongolian and Khmer. After 700 years of history, Thai is composed of 44 letters, namely 20 consonant phonemes, and 15 vowel symbols represent 22 vowels, diphthongs and 3 vowels.

Because Thai is a kind of tonal language with five different tones, it often confuses foreigners who don't understand this culture. For example, the different tones of Suea represent different meanings: Suea's falling tone is tiger; Low-key is a mat, mat, rising tone is clothes.
