The Chinese in Thailand

[Mack111]

I think the Chinese society in Thailand is more limited to 2nd / 3rd generations

The Chinese I’ve met have been super committed to anything that they do, in Malaysian they run the country from a economic point, the Malays put a heap of rules about Malaysa only can do this and that but the Chinese just got round the system and they pretty much run the place to a point if they were to leave Malaysia the economy would fall apart, even the former PM has admitted that.

American,s do not speek English anyway.

Maybe, but some of us spell pretty well; and know how to use punctuation.

I have started referring to my partner as 'aborigine' - coming from Isan she was certainly one of the first colonisers of this land. The Thai came much more recently (from Yunnan in China!) and the Chinese even more recently.

I'm not sure what you are referring to in terms of "colonizers", but the now vanished original inhabitants of the Northeast were here about 5,000+ years ago. Search for 'Ban Chiang' or, even better, go for a visit.
