The ancestral home of former Thai President Thaksin Shinawatra

Thaksin was originally from Xinzhai, Taxia Village, Puzhai Town, Fengshun County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province (now Meizhou City, Guangdong Province).

Thaksin shinawatra is the fourth generation of Chinese Hakkas in Thailand, a well-known entrepreneur and former Prime Minister of Thailand. 1July 26, 949 Thaksin Shinawatra was born in Chiang Mai, a city in northern Thailand, ranking second among nine brothers and sisters. He is a fourth-generation Chinese, and his ancestral home is Xinzhai, Taxia Village, Puzhai Town, Fengshun County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province (now Meizhou City, Guangdong Province).

Thaksin's parents are from Fengshun County and Meixian District of Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, China. In an interview with China CCTV during his visit to China, Thaksin said that he is both a Hakka and a chaozhou people. Because his father was born in Fengshun County and is a Hakka in Fengshun, Fengshun was still under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou when his ancestors left Guangdong, so Thaksin was also called his ancestral home in Chaozhou. My father is a Hakka in Fengshun and my mother is a Hakka in Meixian District, Meizhou City. Thaksin also has Hakka identity. Therefore, according to the confirmation method of Hakka dialect, Thaksin is a Hakka in Southeast Asia, not just a Hakka descendant.

Old aunts and cousins from Shinawatra, Thaksin said that "eating" at home is called "eating" (pronounced ShiPon). However, this accent only exists in Fengshun Tangkeng area, but not in other Hakka areas. Based on this inference, Thaksin's ancestral home can be determined in Tangkeng, Tangnan and Tangxi in Fengshun, commonly known as "Santangpian", which is Qiu's main residence, including Tangkeng Qiuwuzhai, Dapinglou and other villages.
