    Thai words borrowed from Chinese is closer to Chaozhou, Hakka and Cantonese because they are learned from Middle Chinese, ancient Chinese spoken during tang dynasty. It is said that Thai languages originated from China, just like Burmese originated from Tibet. 1 to 10 in thai is close to how we count in Taishanese and Hakka. Other examples 銀 ngen in Thai and ngan in Cantonese, 望 mong in thai and Cantonese, 哪 nai in thai and nai in Taishanese Cantonese and Hakka, etc

      You are part right. Add more some of Thai words borrow for the languages you mentioned, however for the Thai as a whole language, not just some words, according to linguistic there are many language family in TH, yet the most previal and official is in Tai-Kadai family. (Tai, not Thai with H) Tai is an ethnics spread across southeastern part of Asia -- from southen CH to TH, LA, Part of VN, MM (Shan) to IN (Tai-Ahom, Tai-khamti, etc.) They all speak in Tai-Kadai family. So Thai language is very close to Zhuang ethnic (a biggest minority group in CH). There are tons of researches even vids on YT. Just one sample which is very good but sadly it has no Entg sub: for any who understand Thai, Copy and search on YT for "ไทไทย : เธอ เขา เรา ใคร สำรวจคนไทยในแผ่นดิน" You can easily see they can understand other Tai in different countries from that vid. In fcat, about a year ago there is a vid by Zhuang who traveled to TH and bought some fruits using their own langauge. The seller could easily understand them as well. The vid was widely discussed by people who interested in langauges both in CH nad TH. Search for your own if needed.

      Thai borrowed words from middle Chinese, but they also borrowed words from modern Chinese(the last 100 years) such as Teochew, Hakka and Cantonese.
      And to be clear, Thai people came from Southern China but Thais are not Chinese people. The languages are genetically different. Southern China was populated by speakers many Tai/ Kra-Dai languages.
      But much of that Tai population either assimilated into Chinese society or migrated to other lands (e.g. modern Thailand and Laos).

    There many similarites with Vietnamese as well:
    0:14馬 "mã" and it is Sino Vietnamese, In Vietnamese, we more commonly use the word "ngựa"
    0:27 貓 "miêu" or "mèo" in Vietnamese
    0:41 茶 "chè" in the North and "trà" in the South of Vietnam
    0:50 乾杯 In Vietnamesec we have the term "cạn ly" 乾璃, where "cạn" is similar to Chinese, meaning "dry", while "ly" means "the glass" so technically, both the term in Chinese and Vietnamese mean "to dry the glass 🍷🥃 to finish the drink
    1:01 Ink 墨 "mực" in Vietnamese (muk in Thai sounds so similar to "mực" in Vietnamese and "mak" in Cantonese), and besides "ink", "mực" in Vietnamese also mean "squid" which is really interesting.
    1:25 "lỗ" in Vietnamese, but we also have the word "lủng" which does sound like the word "loom" in Thai and in Vietnamese "lủng" is more like a verb meaning "punctured"
    1:51 變 "Biến" in Vietnamese, like in "biến hình" 變形 or "biến thân" 變身 meaning "to transform"
    2:05 豆腐 "đậu phụ" in the North and "đậu hủ" in the South. We also have the word "tào hủ" or "tàu phớ" coming from Teochew which is really similar to Thai but it means a slightly different thing
    2:26 包子 "bánh bao" 餅包 in Vietnamese, and in Vietnamese, it is similar to Chinese, the stuffed buns is called "bánh bao" 餅包 and the non-stuffed bun is called "màn thầu" 饅頭
    3:03 要 "muốn" is the most common verb to mean "to want" in Vietnamese, but we also have the word "yếu" or "yêu", the Sino Vietnamese word coming from 要 like in "nhu yếu" 需要 (necessary), and "yêu cầu" 要求 (to request, or to ask for sth)
    3:14 鞍 "yên" in Vietnamese, 鞍 in Vietnamese has two Sinitic reading, which are "an" and "yên", and "yên" is one of them. Horse saddle in Vietnamese "yên ngựa" 鞍馭, the grammar is similar to Thai
    5:50 粿條 "hủ tiếu" in Vietnamese
    5:51 芹菜 "cần tây" in Vietnamese
    5:52 豆腐 "đậu phụ" in Vietnamese

    According to historical linguistics, around 50% of native Tai vocabulary is derived from Old Chinese and Middle Chinese. That’s why Tai languages sound more like Yue Chinese (e.g. Cantonese) and Sino-Vietnamese. For example, archaic Thai has two parallel numerals:
    Old Chinese - Middle Chinese
    1 et - aai
    2 saung - yii
    3 saam - saam
    4 sii - sai
    5 haa - ngua
    6 hok - lok
    It’s thought that Tai peoples wrote in Chinese-based writing system and learnt writing technology from Han prior to arrival in Southeast Asia because there’re many vocabulary related to books and writing:
    Book: 書 = sue
    Name: 字 = chue
    Paper: 紙 = chia (Northern dialect)
    Pencil: 筆 = pit (Northern dialect)
    Dot, To write: 點 = taem
    Ink: 墨 = muek
    These words are considered as native Tai words but actually Sino-Tai words. That means Tai people know how to write and produce paper before knowing Indic scripts from India. Zhuang people in Guangxi and Tay people in Vietnam still use Chinese-based writing system similar to Vietnamese Chu Nom.

      From what I know, Cantonese is also influenced by Zhuang 壯語, which is a Tai language. e.g. Squat in Standard Chinese is 蹲, and in Cantonese is 踎 (mau1 mɐu˥), which sounds similar to the translation to Thai in Google Translate.
      Other Zhuang loan words: (Standard Chinese) (English) (Cantonese) (Jyutping sound transcription) (IPA)

    There is a fact which I’m not sure about trust of the story regarding the origin of Chaopraya river in Chinese language. In the old day, there was only a river known to people in central Thai back in the Ayutthaya period, so people didn’t call it ‘Chaopraya River’ but they just called it ‘mea-nam’ which translated as ‘river’. The Chinese people came to trade and heard the Thai called the river as ‘mae-nam’, they thought it was the name of the river, so they then call in Chinese as ‘Méi-nán-hé‘.
    ‘Chaopraya’ came from the name of area around the delta called ‘Bang-chaopraya’ (บางเจ้าพระยา) which ‘Bang’ (บาง) means the area with water.
    Additionally, Thai people have a word for the bun without stuffing called ‘หมั่นโถว’ which I guess the pronunciation would similar to the sound of ‘mǎn-tóu’.

    The Thai language must be divided into two parts: written language and spoken language. Although the written language is derived from Sanskrit, a language in the Khmer family, and a language in the Burmese family, in the spoken language, Thailand has derived its culture from original Thai-Kadai, language family Sanskrit, Chinese, Osmosiatitan family, or, in modern usage, from French and English.

    Not only for the Chinese, I have seen so many European maps during the 17-19 th cenutry inscribed the name “Menam river” to this very river. Though, this is the first time I encountered the story behind this peculiar naming.😂

      I’m the Chinese one in the video and have been living in the US since early teenage years 😂 but I’ll tell Pond that his English is good. After all, he got a PhD from Caltech!

    Why Thai is similar to Chinese? Because they originally come from Yunnan China. Nanzhou kingdom at one point control Yunnan, Lao, Thai, Myanmar and Vietnam

    That isn't Chinese you are speaking, it is called Putonghua. Chinese is a written language.

    ไทยอยู่ใกล้จีนมากกว่าอินเดียมีการติดต่อทางบกมาก่อนแน่นอน อินเดียติดต่อไทยต้องเดินเรือมาแต่วัฒนธรรมอินเดียมีอิทธิพลมากเพราะชนชั้นปดครองน่าจะโปรอินเดียอาจจะเริ่มจากฝั่งเขมรก่อน น่าแปลกใจทางด้านการเมืองไทยกับจีนติดต่อกันมานานแต่วัฒนธรรมจีนไม่ครอบงำไทยเท่าวัฒนธรรมอินเดียทั้งที่ประวัติศาสตร์อินเดียไม่ค่อยพูดถึงแถวนี้เท่าจีน

    There is a fact which I’m not sure about trust of the story regarding the origin of Chaopraya river in Chinese language. In the old day, there was only a river known to people in central Thai back in the Ayutthaya period, so people didn’t call it ‘Chaopraya River’ but they just called it ‘mea-nam’ which translated as ‘river’. The Chinese people came to trade and heard the Thai called the river as ‘mae-nam’, they thought it was the name of the river, so they then call in Chinese as ‘Méi-nán-hé‘.
    ‘Chaopraya’ came from the name of area around the delta called ‘Bang-chaopraya’ (บางเจ้าพระยา) which ‘Bang’ (บาง) means the area with water.
    Additionally, Thai people have a word for the bun without stuffing called ‘หมั่นโถว’ which I guess the pronunciation would similar to the sound of ‘mǎn-tóu’.
