Talk:Thai Chinese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thai and Chinese people always have had a very good relationship, and we are east Asian so it's a good thing to have Thai Chinese living in Thailand.

- I guess that's written by a chinese, the thais without chinese ties would disagree. --84.142.182.239 21:45, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What should this page be called?
If you are going to propose that this page be moved to "Chinese Thai" or something (a move which I would oppose), please join this discussion on naming conventions which I have initiated. We want to avoid having the same debate about "ethnic group name first or country name first" on every single talk page relating to ethnic groups living outside their ancestral countries. Thank you in advance. cab 10:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
How could Chulalongkorn (Rama V) proclaim law requiring Chinese people in Thailand to adopt Thai surnames in 1909? The Surname Act itself was initiated by his son, the succeeding King Rama VI, and was only enacted as late as 1913. By then Chulalongkorn had already passed away. Was it possible that the writer of the article confused the two king, father and son?
