Moreover, culture may play a role in Thailand appealing to younger people from China, as the country has “the oldest and most significant ethnic Chinese community in Southeast Asia.”
此外，文化可能是泰國吸引中國年輕人的原因之一，因為泰國擁有「東南亞最古老且最重要的華人社群」。

Because of these factors, Thailand will likely continue to be a haven for younger Chinese expats, even if many only use their move to “The Land of Smiles” as a “stepping stone” on the way to their next international destinations.
由於這些因素，泰國很可能會繼續成為年輕中國移民的避風港，即使其中許多人僅將他們向「微笑之國」的遷移視為通往下一個國際目的地的「跳板」。
