Language: The official language is Thai. In addition, English is also widely used in many tourist areas, such as hotels, restaurants and shopping centers that are frequented by tourists.
Population: As of 2023, the population of Thailand is 67.9 million. Over 30 ethnic groups make up this population, with the Thai ethnic group being the major one accounting for 40% of the total. The others include Lao, Chinese, Malay, Khmer, and some mountainous ethnic groups.
Religion: The national religion is Buddhism, with 90% of its people believe in it. The Malays adhere to Islam, and some minority groups believe in Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism and Sikhism.
Climate: Thailand has a tropical monsoon climate with no distinct four seasons in a year.

ReplyAs a temporary tourist in Thailand with no residence permit, can I apply for a Chinese visa ?
Good afternoon, I'm a French citizen spending a month holiday in Thailand and I would like to go to China at the end of my 30 days. Can I apply for a Chinese visa at the Chinese visa center in Chiang Mai or the Chinese embassy in Bangkok even though I'm not a thai resident and don't have a long term visa? The reason why I'm asking is that it looks like it's one of the documents required by the Chinese embassy.
Thanks

00ReplyGenerally, it is highly risky if you don't have the long-term stay permit.

My son has just finished his first degree in China . He has been given pré-admission letter to study for his masters. He is waiting for jw2 forms . His stay visa is to expire today. He wants to exit China today to Thailand and apply for Chinese students visa free there. Is he illegible to apply for the visa in Thailand as he does not have a permanent resident permit in Thailand?

00ReplyI'm afraid he will be very possibly be rejected in Thailand. A better way is to extend the current stay in local Entry and Exit Administration Office in China.

00ReplyNo, you cannot. If you are an Australian citizen, you have to go back to Australia and the birth certificate should be certified by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and then you can get a birth certificate notarized in Chinese Embassy in Australia.
