Why are there many China Chinese characters in Thailand?

There are always different opinions about the origin of Thais. Some scholars (mainly in Thailand and the West) think that the Thais moved south from the hinterland of China today (what's more, they think that Nanzhao State was established for the Thais, and Yunnan is the homeland of the Thais, then moved south under the oppression of Mongolia, and was accepted by Thai officials and written into textbooks before 1980s).

There is also a school of scholars (mostly in China) who believe that Thais have lived in Indochina Peninsula since ancient times, and there is no such thing as moving south.

Therefore, there are many Chinese, overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen in Thailand, and there are also many tourists in China. So Chinese characters can be seen on many occasions.

Extended data:

Thailand should be regarded as the country with the strongest Chinese foundation and the highest enthusiasm for learning Chinese in Southeast Asia.

This is related to the fact that Chaoshan Chinese came to Thailand earlier for business and life and became a local vested interest group. It is also closely related to the frequent contacts between China and Thailand in the fields of trade, culture and even politics in the past decade. Therefore, in addition to overseas Chinese encouraging their children to learn Chinese, local teenagers are also interested in and even yearning for Chinese.

There is also a very special factor in Thailand, and members of the royal family have shown extremely strong support for promoting Chinese. Sirindhorn, the second princess, once practiced calligraphy and translated Tang poems. The little princess chulabhorn is good at guzheng and likes to adapt famous songs.

It can be said that the whole Thai society only recognized the established phenomenon of Chinese communication before, but now it is trying to help the development of Sinology in Thailand.
