Culture and folklore

          A third theory propounds that the Thai were originally of Austronesian rather than Mongoloid stock and had migrated northwards from the Malay Archipelago. The most conving theory, however, is that which relies largeiy on linguistic evidence. From research done in the southern Chinese provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan, where the thai language is still spoken, the proponents of this theory maintain that the Thai migrated southward from these provinces.

The fifth, and latest, hypothesis claims that archaeological and anthropological evidence prove that Thailand has been inhabited continuously since prehistoric times and that ethnic groups mixed with each other until it was difficult to tell them apart. Animism, material.

Culture,and folklore,however,point to a continuity in the settlement of this area.   This hypothesis has been cogently put forward by ins proponents, but it avoids   too conveniently the issue of Thai migraton by maintaining that the Thai have been here all along, the present-day Thai nation being but a mixture of various races.
