Chinese Ethnic Minorities and The status of studying in Thailand
Investigating the ethnic minorities in Mekong river area countries has been interested by researchers because it can link to other notable issues, especially the issue of history of ethnic groups and languages. Historians studying history of the Tai ethnic minority and Tai family languages usually explore the ethnic minorities in China. However there is still no Chinese ethnic minorities database in Thai language that can be used as reference. Most of the researchers who are unable to understand Chinese usually count on English language data which sometimes contains errors, causing incorrect results in their study. This article presents three issues related to Chinese ethnic minorities which are largely examined in Thailand, namely 1) general information and policies about 55 ethnic minorities in China 2) the rationale for developing Chinese ethnic minorities database in Thai academic system 3) the summary of status of studying Chinese ethnic minorities in Thailand
