Hi I am a Hakka from Thailand. First of all Thai and Hakka are quite a bit
different in Race,traditions and culture. Thai believe they are descendant
of "Tai" from southern China. There're similarity of culture between Thai
and Tai from Yunan. There's not a bit of similarity in culture between
Thai and Hakka e.g. language,food,phenotypic and dress. Burmese is also
descendant from Tai that Thai called " Mon" or "Thai major" There're some
similarity between Northern Thai and Burmese e.g.dress,customs,food and
phenotypic feature. If you need more detail than that,please e-mail me
back.
