Are Thai people Chinese?

[41Jirapon004]

Thai Chinese, also known as Sino-Thais or Chinese Thais, are Thai citizens with ethnic Chinese ancestry. China – Thailand relations officially started in November 1975 after years of negotiations. For a long time, Thailand, or in its former name, Siam, was a very strong and loyal Sinophilic country, and usually the Chinese issued Siam with a strong respect from China to ensure its alliance with the country.

I remember being taught by a social studies teacher that some people believe in a theory that original Thai people came from the South of China.
They first lived in the North of Thailand, then moved to the center and other regions later.
However, the theory is not really reasonable so that it is not so sound for many people.

Well, Should not That people be Thai? otherwise they should be called something else? That's a joke. Many people are descendants of pure Chinese ancestors, but since they live in Thailand and fully have Thai culture, why are they not Thai?

I'm not Thai-Chinese people.
But I'm Thai-Vietnam people.
Because my granny came from Vietnam to live in Nong Khai, Thailand.
So, my mom's blood would be 100% pure of Vietnam but she was born and raised in Thai so, she gained Thai culture and she is 100% Thai people.
That's why I'm Thai-Vietnam.

I am not a Thai Chinese people.
I'm 100% Thai.
But my mother told me that one of my ancestor came from Laos,
so I might have Thai-Laos descent.

Absolutely not, What is your point? Thai and Chinese are different. Thai is Thai. Chinese is Chinese. However, I remember being taught by a social studies teacher that some people believe that original Thai people came from the South of China. Yet, I just a notion of some groups about the origin of Thai people.
