ไหหลำ รำลึก | Spirit of Asia [Dual Language]

Hainan Remembrance We often hear that Chinese immigrants, carrying only mats and pillows, settled in Thailand since the time of their grandparents and ancestors. At that time, they were truly Chinese. However, when they married Thais, their descendants' bloodlines blended with the Thai culture they grew up with, enabling them to speak Thai fluently and enjoy the Thai way of life. Over the course of generations, these Chinese people transformed into true Thais. They weaved mats and pillows, a few of their possessions when they settled, with hard work and diligence, eventually succeeding in establishing diverse businesses throughout Thailand, dominated by Thai-Chinese. About 5 million Thai-Chinese in Thailand is the largest population in the world, with the majority being Han Chinese originating in Guangdong Province. Yaowarat Walking Street, the sound of firecrackers during Chinese New Year, or the smell of incense from your local shrine, are powerful testaments to our close ties to Chinese culture. Many Chinese ancestors moved from one land to another, but they never forgot where they came from. Whenever they had the chance, they didn't hesitate to return, just like Wirot Rojanasingsawat.
