How Chinese Are People From Thailand? | 只講中文能在曼谷唐人街生存嗎?? 挑戰泰國人講中文!! 泰國華人還保持中國傳統嗎? 

As a Thai-Chinese the gov never forced anything on us to be Thai we considered ourselves to be Thai and yes we know where we came from but in Thai the concept of race classification is not our problem like other countries and about the durian thing thai people like to eat it a little crunchy outside and soften on the inside while other countries like it tree ripened so if you want that kind of durian just ask the seller for that 😊

Most thai ppl like crunchy durian. If you like soft or mellow one you can ask the vendor.

In Thailand do not ask people where are they from or what race you are?. for me It's kinda rude question. Every ethnicity in Thailand are considered as a Thai citizen So we have Thai-chinese , Thai-indian , Thai-mon . most of them do not speak another languages. I prefer you talk to them in English They will more understandable than other language. bc we taught English in school. Thank you to visit Thailand :D

I am a Chinese Thai who live in Phuket south of Thailand.Both of my parents are Chinese from Fujian.Majority of Phuket local are Hokkien(Fujian). Not many of them can Hokkien any more.However Chinese Hokkien cultures are well preserved. The Chinese Thai assimilate very well​to Thai society.The Chinese Thai can be succesful in every profession.That's why the Chinese love both Thailand and China. China is ancestral land, Thailand is the land we were born. We are proud to be Chinese Thai. For me I love to see Thailand and China being brothers and support each other.

我也是潮州人！看到泰国有那么多潮州人好亲切！❤

我是香港的潮州人，看到曼谷唐人街，那麼多的潮州人，真的很有親切感。

近现代中国很多潮州福建人南下到泰国（那时候称暹罗），我奶奶就是出生在暹罗的华人，后二战结束后才回来潮汕这边寻祖后定居，看到视频里的阿婆也是老家汕头的，没准和我奶奶是同一辈的，很有亲切感，感谢GG，另哈哈哈哈哈托哥的潮州话笑死我，两句都对的，意思分别是“自己人”、“草你*”，果然学语言总是先学骂人的👍

But China imported durian from Thailand. You have to try different durian. We have different kind of durian here. Soft , hard, or crunchy outside but soft inside. Hope you try the original in Thailand ❤ I personally love the soft and creamy one. Yummy 🤤

🎉I also went to China town of Thailand. 2weeks ago. Most of young Chinese Thai people don't speak Chinese languages. Thank you GG, thank you Torris

As a Thai-Chinese like others, we think that we are 100% Thai. Because Language culture here which is Thai is very powerful (in the good way). if you can speak or understand it, in my opinion you will find that other people you work with or communicate with feel like your family. I think it is a heart-warming language even though there are many bad words, we can still use with closed friend like the word Bitch 55 I don't know how to explain. But i think it is about the language. So if you understand Thai language you will know.

I am a 100% Teochew who was born and raised in Bangkok. My grandfathers were Chinese immigrants. My grandmothers were Chinese who were born in Thailand. I can't speak Chinese at all. Both my first and last names are Thai (with some mixture of Sanskrit). Usually, Thai-Chinese keep their Chinese family name in their Thai last name. For example, a politician Pita Limcharoenrat. His Chinese family name is Lim. However, my family didn't do that. My Chinese family name is 蔡 Chua (teochew) or Tsai. The history of Chinese people in Thailand can be traced back more than 500 years. King Taksin the Great who founded Thonburi (the west side of Bangkok) was a Teochew and there is a theory that the mother of King Rama I was a Hokkien. (The current king is Rama X.) There was a Chinese community in Bangkok before King Rama I made it the capital of the Kingdom. Originally, they lived in the area that now became the Royal Palace. When King Rama I built the palace, the Chinese moved down to the area now known as Sampeng, Talat Noi, and Yaowarat (Chinatown, the name Yaowarat was given after the young King Rama V visited the place. It literally means 'visiting of the young king.') Some moved across the Chao Praya river to Kudi Chin. That was like 240 years ago. These are not the only places to find Thai-Chinese. Actually, they are everywhere in Bangkok. Those places are just concentrated areas. As you can see, Thai-Chinese foods, like Kuay Tew (noodles), are being sold everywhere and I am not gonna lie Thai-Chinese foods in Chinatown are not the best haha. Thai-Chinese can be found not only in Bangkok. They are everywhere in Thailand., especially in big cities and cities by the sea. Actually, more than 10% of Thai people are Thai-Chinese.

If you are randomly pick some food, fruit, drink or whatever and It's turn bad It doesn't mean that food represent all Thai food you know such as The durian you were mention in this video There are a lot of creamy durian in general. Speaking like do not eat durian in Thailand because It's texture like an apple quite . . .

潮汕地区的海外华侨很多的。而且20.30年前很热衷回家乡捐款建设（建学校，修路这些）。泰国华侨，香港华侨

Chinatown in Bangkok is one of the biggest in the world and the people here have lived here for many generations for the most part and as you found out, most of them are Teochews. If you go south to Phuket as such, you'll find more Hokkien/Hakka similar to that seen in Malaysia/Singapore. However, you do not have to go to Chinatown to find Thai-Chinese (Though in Chinatown, they may be more recent immigrants), across Bangkok and Thailand you'll find Thai-Chinese people but they may be more or less disconnected from their Chinese roots and will always identify as Thai first and foremost like "I'm Thai but I have some Chinese blood" kinda thing. I think something around 14% of the Thai population is ethnic Chinese and a further 40-45% has some Chinese roots/blood but I don't think you could get get by speaking Mandarin/Chinese dialects since most people know very little or none at all. Bangkok is a melting pot of people from all parts of Thailand and provinces so some people may be from the Northeast (Isan Area), some from the North, South etc. Thailand is also very diverse in general so it's hard to define a "Thai" person genetically since we're all Thai!, Southern Thailand has a lot of Malays, Northern Thais are heavily Tai-Lanna (Descended from Tai tribes in China many centuries ago), Northeastern Thais may be a mix of Tai-Isaan (similar to Laos) and Khmer from Cambodia. We're all mixed but fall under the umbrella term of being Thai so it is very different from the Chinese you may have encountered in Malaysia/Singapore who generally hold onto their Chinese roots very strongly. I'm half English-Thai, but on my mothers side my Grandad was ethnically Chinese (though he did not identify as Chinese) and my Grandma had some Chinese blood too, so my mum has Chinese blood but we do not really partake in many Chinese traditions/very lax about it and of course, we speak 0 Chinese apart from what we learnt in school/through the internet. My mum is also from Buriram (a province in Northeastern Thailand) which is close to the Cambodian border, so I think my maternal side is a mix of Thai, Cambodian and Chinese but I'm not willing to pay $200 for a testing kit to find out as much as I want to lol.

小弟是馬來西亞潮州人十六年前第一次去曼谷唐人街真的有被驚訝到好親切就像跟鄰居在聊天

Ka Ki Lang is Hokkien Ka Ki Nang is Teochew Both have the same meaning of own people (自己人)

you missed that not eating Durian in Thailand. it depends on what you ask to seller that which spicies and what do you expect on raw one or ripe one. the ripe one will be creamy and taste will be sweet. i recommend you try it next time :)

In Thailand have the very ripe durian too, you just ask seller then they will give you.But they show crunchy outside and soft inside texture because so many Thai love the texture.

Nice to see you guys thanks for your visit. Enjoy your trip♡♡♡

Nice work GG!!

我的伯父也是泰國華僑，他二戰時是國軍軍人，後因國共內戰國民政府遷台，為了逃避共產政權的迫害，逃難到泰國定居下來，現今已是四代了。

your attitude about durian lore says a lot about you

the pork leg rice in the last of the video is exactly the same as what we eat in Shantou, we call it 隆江(a town near Shantou)猪脚饭.

Gosh, so glad to have discovered your channel. Subscribed. 👍❤️ Bird's nest soup is a waste of money Duck noodles...ooooo, nice!! 😋🤤😛 FREE is my favourite word!! Wah,... pig's trotters on rice, OMG, woohoo!!!

看到好多熟悉的人跟店家，曼谷唐人街真的是讓人又愛又恨的地方，愛的是那種老城區的氛圍及好吃的東西，恨的是每天塞車的交通，每年大概就潑水節那幾天不塞而已，而好吃的東西不只是有店面的，有好多推車子的攤販甚至要拿號碼牌排隊喔，有機會你們可以去試試。

You don't need to go to Yaowarat. To find people of Chinese descent because 40% in Thailand are Chinese descent you can find them everywhere. And most importantly, there are no Thai people with 100% Thai ancestry. This country has many races gathered together and called themselves Thai. Like America without real Americans. Everyone is from Europe.

My mother is Chinese but she grow in Thailand, She can't speak Chinese but able to understand simple sentence since the grand parent generation did not speak Chinese all the time. Me who is half Thai-Chinese don't speak or understand Chinese at all but we still hold Chinese ritual like Chinese New Year, Hungry Ghost Festival and Qingming Festival every year and it's been over 30 years for me already. Probably people who live in Yaowarat area (China Town) still talking Chinese as they use it daily to China tourist as well

I said exactly the same thing 12:09 hahaha Seriously good! Especially their roasted pork belly!

在泰國買水果要先瞭解到他們吃水果的習慣，像是榴槤他們就喜歡吃半生不熟，所以如果是買那種已經剖開剝好果肉的榴槤，吃起來一定是硬的有脆度的。芒果也是一樣，在BIG C或者TESCO LOTUS賣場裡面賣的芒果，那種我們認為熟到剛剛好吃的，是被列為促銷品，售價通常只有原價的1/4！

thai-chinese population is 10 million from 66 million wich is alot as a thai-chinese we naver saw people separate the other it very hard to find FULL THAI on these days you can see thai-lao, thaiyai and alot of mix people in Thailand

原來唐人街有這多泰國華人會講中文 2:56 燕窩😂 1:06 😂🤣 3:38 Lingdoa衝刺班 6:08 講什麼 8:06 16歲生你😮 11:17 周漢發😅 10:06 條繩作用11:37 入鏡 13:10 呢間

GG怎麼有辦法這麼可愛！❤😊

I missed a lot speaking Teochew. My Grandfather migrated from Chaozhou to a small town in West Borneo, Indonesia. And now i live in Ho Chi Minh City. And I just realize in Vietnam the chinese imigrant are mostly speak Cantonese although i found some people speak Hokkien and Teochew. Also the food in Chinatown Bangkok really similiar with my childhood food back when i was in hometown. In Ho Chi Minh City, the chinese food is kinda more to Cantonese style which are very different with Teochew Food.

Amazing,your mandarin&Cantonese are so good!

So lovely❤ 我老公出國都講中文，如果對方不懂，他才講英文。😂估計他想把中文發揚光大

我是来自大馬的潮州人，我很喜欢来曼谷唐人街！尤其是农历新年期间！！你们的视频我很喜欢💗💗💗💗💗

Young Chinese people in Bangkok are concentrated in Huai Khwang. Chinatown on Yaowarat Road was the original one formed from communities of Hokkien, Teochew, and Hakka Chinese immigrants almost over a century ago.

FYI, the place you went. "Yaowarat" is the place of Chinese immigrant during 70+ years ago. They are from Chaozhou and Shantou. They dont speak Mandarin. Nowaday, in Bangkok business district office workers, if you randomly ask if their ancestor came from Chinese ? the answer will be "yes" more than 70%. but they cant speak Chinese, because they dont speak Chinese at home. This is very difeerent to Malaysia that most of Chinese-malaysian speak Chinese as mother tongue

Great stuffs.

GG在这一集视频讲了好多的普通话，他的普通话还说的蛮不错。

Hi GG, can you tell Lingoda to start a Mandarin lesson too? There are many people abroad who want to learn Mandarin. Btw, your Mandarin improved a lot! Would you like to share it with us? Thank you

ยินดีต้อนรับนักท่องเที่ยว

There are a lot Chinese ethnic living in Southeast Asia, infact a lot of them dominate the high ranking and bussiness positions in a lot of capital cities as well. If you go to the capital of Cambodia, Thai, Malaysia, there are a huge Techeow, Hakka, Hokkein, and more Chinese that assimilated into their respected county they live in.

GG的中文进步了很大👍

Actually quite a lot of Chinese in Thailand is from Teochew

Thai Chinese approximately 22M , pure Thai-Chinese 7M , mixed-blood 14M

It amazes me for them to find it fascinating that there's a lot of Chinese people, culture, influence, signboards, food etc... in Chinatown. In Chinatown...

Reminds me of when I went to an Asian grocery in Atlanta in the US. I overheard the ladies speaking Mandarin behind the counter and asked where they were from (in Mandarin). To my surprise, they were Thai...which explained the overwhelming amount of Thai and other southeast Asian goods in the store as opposed to Chinese stuff too.

美女與大佬聯合發片…支持

As a second generation of Chinese Thai, my parents born in Thailand but they both cannot speak Chinese, my dad birth registered name was Chinese but he changed to Thai name later to avoid discremination in school But myself I am proud to be Thai with Chinese background. I enjoyed traveling to HK, Mainland and TW a lot

Most of Thais people prefer unripe Durian , They love crunchy and not too sweet Durian

Chinese people been coming to Thailand since near 900 years ago as merchant. Some believe that Thai ancestor is actually migrated Chinese/Juang people. Chinese-Thai are everywhere from north to south since Thailand been the great location for trading since the past. You can randomly ask someone if they have chinese ancestor even they look totally non-chinese at all. I love this diversity

Hi GG, would you mind introducing your eyeshadow brand? The colors look nice (probably because on you haha! Thank you!

Thai king's ancestor is from my hometown, Chao Zhou.

No you can't go to the last shop without trying their flat noodle Noooooooo Lol I like the interviews so much. You two are the best.

Thanks for good video and welcome to Thailand. As a Thai-Chinese people, we are proud to be Thai people and we never feel different or discriminated from others in Thailand as well as other religions. Thai Durion is the most famous and tasty if you know how to select and must try so based on your favorite and tasty. Monthong Durion is the most famous and tasty for me and for many people with number one exported to China. And recommended to not ask the word “ladyboy” to other people especially old people that we should respect but it might be ok if you have close Thai friend. 🙏😁🇹🇭🥰

Georgia中文說得好好

You're Welcome to visit Chinatown, Yaowaraj so I'm Thai-Chinese too & understand your Chainese such as "Kakeenung" it's Teachew of my parent natives Language. Do hope you will enjoy to meet New Amazing Experiences & Happiness from BKK.....welcome

Damn how did you miss the noodles at the last restaurant ?? Their signature is the noodles with crispy pork with clear pepper broth MUST TRY!

Wow Chinese in Thailand so cute.

Know eat, know eat! Nai Ek pork leg rice is very close to the ancient recipe

The last restaurant is a famous one, as a Thai I recommend.

If u know someone from thailand has long surname (More than 4 syllabels), u can assume they have chinese ancestor. Because 50-60 years ago every thai- chinese family had to create new surname instead of one syllabel chinese surname. So every family tried to create long and good meaning surname. 50 years ago ,My uncle were who create my family surname( 8 syllabels.) But now , by thai law, if want build new surname , it cannot be over 5 syllabels.

FYI, we ate crispy one not like other or whoever who ate the rotten one that we called "ทุเรียนปลาร้า" it's low quality durian here in Thailand. you can pick the most expensive Musang king or any and the cheapest Thai durian Montong we always choose Montong over and over. So that is the most disrespectful to our durian.

Gg, "Pu nia mo" is to greet someone that you love so much, like your siblings, and also bff😂

Bangkok China town is amazing. Great food !

The last restaurant is actually with Michelin Stars..

i'm Thai-Chinese, and i don't have anything to do with Chinese culture anymore, i'm 100% Thai and proud of it.

Near Chinese embassy in Bangkok, there are many new generation Chinese setting up new business.

好！

Lol, since i last comment that it took GG a whole month for new vlog. Now we're seeing more videos, for a channel that gets 100k+ views per vlog. I wonder if GG will gives us more contents in the future 😂

GG is so smart, your hubby try to teach you dirty words. Don’t fall into his trick😅

I’m Thai I live in USA for 18 years but I’m born in Thailand I came to USA when i was20-21 years old to study master degree after that I didn’t back to Thailand even once. But I’ll move back there I next year.I live here in Thailand for 20 years I know a lot Chinese people in china town but I never know they all can speak Chinese I always think They speak mainly Thai and some of them speak some Chinese and probably speak a little Chinese. I was wrong all along. Thank you I has lean new things .hope you guys enjoy there and happy eating spend time like slow life relax take a rest in Thailand.

If you call him Chinese, he will be angry for some people He accepted the word that Thai people with Chinese descent and adapt to Thai society peacefully

Needless to ask, all the Chinese descendants in Thailand (by this generation) are all born in Thailand and not China. Their elderly parents can speak Teochew more than Mandarin cos they grew up in a Teochew-speaking and Thai-speaking environment at home, not Mandarin speaking (which they picked up much later in life due to influx of PRC tourists). Lastly, the shop you guys visited for lunch at the end of the video is one of the most famous ones in Yaowarat/Chinatown and braised stuff and soupy stuff is a very Teochew style of cooking (you will find similar food at places such as Shenzhen or Shantou etc). It's a pity you guys did not revisit Chinatown in the night (till 1am or so) cos it will transform into a buzzling nigh food street with over 200 stall/shops and you will have plenty of choices for food.

GG中文好好！OMG

im teochew too!!! from singapore 😊

ดีมากครับ ผมเพิ่งรู้ว่าคนที่เยาวราช หลายร้าน พูดจีนได้ด้วย! จีนกลางนะ 谢谢你们

GG还是那么可爱😂

feel like flying to Bangkok now

Durian point is so correct

When did you visit Bangkok? Heard it’s super hot now. Still suitable to walk around?

Mandarin, a language originated in the northern part of China, is not the mother tongue of most Thai Chinese as most of their forefathers hailed from the Chaoshan region in China. The dominant language (not dialect in my opinion) spoken by the older generation is Teochew.

唐人街豬腳飯！米其林推荐的！！！

晚上好，美女。👏👏

Lovely and cute couple 😊

你华语说得很好，加油

希望GG到廣州看那學校學中文那麽好👍💪💪☺️

去过曼谷唐人街，振奋人心。

反正好吃正宗的隆江猪脚饭 搭配酸菜也是一绝 偶尔吃一顿真的是绝绝子😂

Large percentage of Thais have some partial Chinese ancestry. Surprised to learn that the current royal family was founded by a king who is partly Chinese. Also, lots of former prime ministers were of ethnic Chinese ancestry.

泰國好靚？多謝妳兩個分享美食景點？每次見到gg好可愛又靚女？希望繼續拍攝多d影片分享畀網友？

刚看完托哥在美国，又来看你在泰国。😂

When Torres said "PO LIA MO", I'm sure his Mum will feel some kind of pains.

NIce

Only bad parts of this clip is your bias about durian. There are 9 of main varieties that we have in our country. The one of them that you see is called หมอนทอง (lit. Golden pillow) which the texture are harder than others. For another varieties since we have many of them is waiting for you to try. Other issue that surprising me is people in Yaowarat is good in mandarin. I thought they speak only in teochew accent. As the final issue, some thai-chinese family is still conservative on the traditional, but in my fam, they're not. I had requested my mom taught me for a long time, but she didn't want me to know what did she gossip to me. It's quite funny story.

很喜欢你们的节目，不知道在b站看得到你们的节目不

As a Thai I disapprove when you saying don't try a durian in Thailand ... I was like ... for real? ... then where else bruh 🤷

There are a lot of Chinese people in Thailand, including my family. Yes, the Thai government forced assimilation upon the Chinese, but it did so to other ethnic groups to create a national unified identity under Thaification policies. Whether you agree with it or not, it's already happened. Given the choice of going back to China and starving or becoming Thai in order to stay in Thailand, my family at least choose the latter. I can't speak for all Thai Chinese families, but we do acknowledge our Chinese background, often using the Teochew version of family terms like aunt, uncle, etc. rather than the Thai versions, we also do Cheng Meng, Chinese style funeral rites and rituals, etc although we identify as Thai first and foremost.
