'''Nepalese in Thailand''' comprise migrants from [[Nepal]] to [[Thailand]], including expatriates and permanent residents, as well as their locally born descendants.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
Most Nepalese in Thailand mainly live in [[Bangkok]], [[Chiang Mai]] and in the popular resort towns of [[Phuket (city)|Phuket]], [[Pattaya]] and Chaweng Beach on [[Ko Samui]] in the [[Gulf of Thailand]].<ref>[http://www.ecs.com.np/feature_detail.php?f_id=166: Nepalese in Bangkok]</ref> Around 4,000 to 5,000 Nepalese work in Thailand, according to the Nepalese embassy in Bangkok.<ref>[http://www.myrepublica.com/portal/index.php?action=news_details&news_id=19102: Nepalese in Bangkok safe]</ref> They tend to engage in specific types of work such as clerks in tailor shops, as ready-made garment makers, and as trinket sellers at the beach resorts. A few of them also run small restaurants. Not all the Nepalese in Thailand are legal residents and some have been hiding and surviving in Thailand as displaced persons on odd-jobs such as shop-boys and waiters.<br />
<br />
The number of Nepalese receiving Thailand visas in the first eight months of 2009 has increased by 30 percent as compared to the figures of same period in the previous year.<ref>[http://www.myrepublica.com/portal/index.php?action=news_details&news_id=9847: Siam sojourn during Dashain, number of Nepalese to Thailand up by 30 pc]</ref> <br />
