What is the ethnic composition and distribution in Thailand?

China has more than 30 ethnic groups with a total population of more than 60 million. The main ethnic groups are Thai, accounting for 75% of the total population, Han 14%, Malay, 2.3%, and the rest are Burmese, khmer people, Miao, Yao, Gui, Wen, Karen, Shan, Semang, Shagai and Meng. About 14% of Thailand's population is Chinese, and quite a few of them come from Chaoshan area in China. In addition, Malays are another important ethnic minority (2.3%), and other ethnic minorities include Khmer, monks and others. In addition, there are Jing people and some tribes living in mountainous areas, such as Batong people, Galiang people (famous long-necked people), Lahu people, Miao people and Lisu people. There are a few Shan people in the mountains near Myanmar. In addition, Thailand has a large number of people from other parts of Asia, Europe, North America and other long-term residents in Thailand, as well as a large number of illegal immigrants. However, due to the large population base in Thailand, these people only account for a small part of the total population.
