明清时期华人向暹罗的移民

15世纪初,中国东南沿海地区的一些居民开始移居暹罗。到20世纪初,华人移居暹罗的规模越来越大,逐渐形成历史上华人向暹罗移民的高潮。不少华人与暹罗妇女通婚,定居于此,并遵从暹罗的习俗、文化,逐渐被暹罗人同化。

In the beginning of the 15^th century, some residents in the southeast part of China started to immigrate to Siam, and the scale of the immigration had been growing so large that it reached to the peak in the beginning of the 20^th century. Quite a number of ethnic Chinese married the local women and settled down in Siam, and they began to be assimilated during the course of abiding by the Siamese custom and culture.
