*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.

*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*The number of migrants in Australia grew significantly when the Immigration Restriction Act was repealed in 1973.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'''. | |||
