Cambodia diaspora in Thailand

People from Cambodia in Thailand meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from Cambodia live in Thailand?

According to the United Nations, 376,000 people from Cambodia live in Thailand.

As a result, Thailand hosts the largest community from Cambodia outside the country.

In total, 772,000 people from Cambodia live abroad, and about 49% of them live in Thailand.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Cambodia in Thailand

No community for people from Cambodia exists in Thailand on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Bangkok, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Cambodia community in Thailand

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.
