สวัสดี, NSW! 👋

Did you know our state is home to 36,085 people of Thai ancestry?

This community spans every generation:
👶 22.8% aged 19 and under
💼 54.4% aged 20 – 44
🌿 22.9% aged 45 and over

There are also significantly more women than men of Thai ancestry in NSW.

From the golden temples of Bangkok 🛕 that brought Buddhist traditions across the sea’s that are now woven into NSW communities, Thai heritage brings its own unique flavour to local life. And of course, that flavour is best tasted over a shared plate of som tam 🥗🌶️, Thailand's iconic spicy papaya salad.

Do you have Thai ancestry? Drop your story in the comments below! We'd love to hear about your family traditions, memories and experiences. 💬👇
