==Background== | |||
Thai nationals make up the majority of Thailand's population, 95.9% in 2010. The remaining 4.1% of the population are Burmese (2.0%), others 1.3%, and unspecified 0.9%. Increasing numbers of migrants from neighboring Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, as well as from Nepal and India, have pushed the total number of non-national residents to around 3.5 million as of 2009, up from an estimated 2 million in 2008, and about 1.3 million in 2000. Some 41,000 Britons and 20,000 Australians live in Thailand.<ref>"Thailand", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand#Modernisation_and_centralisation, ccessed 30 June 2021.</ref> | Thai nationals make up the majority of Thailand's population, 95.9% in 2010.

*Between 2003 and 2006, 64 per cent of all '''settlement grants to Thai immigrants were given to wives''', 3 per cent to husbands and 14 per cent to children. This means that the Thai community in the UK is surprisingly widespread, as marriage migrants are likely to be scattered across the country with their partners, instead of following the trend of migrant groups settling together in large cities. | *Between 2003 and 2006, 64 per cent of all '''settlement grants to Thai immigrants were given to wives''', 3 per cent to husbands and 14 per cent to children.

==Thai Australians== | |||
*In January 1950, the Australian government launched the '''Colombo Plan''', an aid program for sponsoring Asian students to study or train in Australian tertiary institutions. Approximately 450 Thai students travelled to Australia on the Colombo Plan between 1954 and 1989. Most did not settle in Australia permanently, but they increased awareness of Australia when they returned to Thailand. Between the 1950s and 1970s the majority of new arrivals from Thailand in Australia continued to be students, as well as spouses of Australians and those sponsored under military traineeships. | |||
*The number of migrants in Australia grew significantly when the Immigration Restriction Act was repealed in 1973. In 1975, '''Australia accepted many Vietnamese, Lao and Cambodian refugees for settlement'''. | |||
*The latest Census in 2011 recorded 45,465 Thailand-born people in Australia, an increase of 48.8 per cent from the 2006 Census. The 2011 distribution by state and territory showed New South Wales had the largest number with 17,541, followed by Victoria (10,766), Queensland (7,022) and Western Australia (5,662). Among the total Thailand-born in Australia at the 2011 Census, 23.1 per cent arrived between 2001 and 2006 and 32.8 per cent arrived between 2006 and 2011.<ref>"Thai Australians", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_Australians, accessed 30 Junbe 2021.</ref> | |||
