==Thais in the United Kingdom== | |||
*The 2011 Census recorded 39,784 Thai-born residents in '''England''', 1,566 residents in '''Wales''', 2,267 in '''Scotland''', and 469 in '''Northern Ireland'''. At the time of the 2001 UK Census, 16,257 people born in Thailand were residing in the UK. | |||
*Of the Thai-born people in the UK in 2001, 72 per cent were women. The Home Office states that the overwhelming majority of new Thai immigrants to the UK '''became naturalized citizens through marriage''', with less than one in three cases occurring through residence. | |||
*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. | |||
*Despite this, due to their large populations already, the cities of '''London, Sheffield, Birmingham and Glasgow''' are all home to significant numbers of people of Thai origin.<ref>"Thais in the United Kingdom", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thais_in_the_United_Kingdom. accessed 30 June 2021.</ref> | |||
