Vietnamese Diaspora in Thailand
From: Anthony Le

Hello VSGers,
I wonder if someone in the group can introduce me to some available research on the Vietnamese presence in Thailand in the last three centuries, starting with Vietnamese Catholics fleeing persecution in Vietnam to settle in Thailand and subsequent waves of migration, such as the Viet Minh era and the post Vietnam War era.
I would appreciate any help. I can read Vietnamese and Thai, so I'd take sources in those languages as well.
Thanks in advance,
anthony

Anthony,
Three centuries would put us in the early 18th Century. Unless
there are details of Vietnamese expatriate communities in Siam's
numerous archipelagic regions, where many abscond the prolong conflict
of Trinh-Nguyen and later manifold onsets of each of the Tay Son
brothers, it may be possible to find some, if any. You can find in the
narrow escape of Nguyen Anh (Gia Long), that he fled the Tay Son's
navy and arrived to the shore of Siam (after sojourning at various
islands), and abetted by plebeians, pirates, and former soldiers or
sailors, who all presumably speak Vietnamese and Chinese. The detail
on their Vietnamese or Chinese ethnicity is vague.
I will have to look for some of its title in my collection.

Dear Anthony,
Thanyathip Sripana from the Institute of Asian Studies at Chulalongkorn University used to work in Chau Doc, and I believe she is working on Vietnamese diasporas in Southeast Asia, and probably in Thailand. Her email is sthanyat@yahoo.com. She can also be contacted through the Institute from Chula. She mayby knows other researchers working in Thailand on Vietnamese.
Regards.

Try going to the Cornell University online catalog (https://catalog.library.cornell.edu)
In the "search for" box type (without quotes): "vietnamese and thailand"
In the "search by" box choose Command Keyword
This search will bring up over a hundred titles. Not all of them are relevant but a number of them are, including titles in Vietnamese and Thai. Cornell is pretty generous when it comes to interlibrary loan, so you should be able to borrow them via your home library if it doesn't have them.

Christopher Goscha, Pr in Montreal, has written and published on the topic of Vietnamese in Thailand : Contesting Concepts of Space (a working paper in Copenhagen) and Asian Networks. I do not have my documentation in hand, but you can find it easily on the net.
Thomas Engelbert has produced an article in a book edited by Pierre Brocheux (du conflit d'Indochine..., in French).
Frédéric Mantienne's PhD (published, Paris, Les Indes savantes) and Alain Forest's Thèse d'Etat (published, Paris, L'Harmattan, 3 vol.) both in French, may give you valuable insights and sources.

Dear Anthony,
I remember having seen a few Hungarian archival documents about how the North Vietnamese government sought to repatriate ethnic Vietnamese from Thailand and French-governed New Caledonia in the early 1960s and how the repatriates were treated afterwards. This repatriation campaign was remarkably similar to the post-1959 repatriation of ethnic Chinese and Koreans from Indonesia and Japan to the PRC and North Korea, respectively. If you are interested, I can look up the precise data for you after I return to Hungary in late December. BTW, I am also working on a long-term research project on post-1975 Thai-Vietnamese relations.
All the best,
