Southern Thailand is located at the narrowest part of Indo-China Peninsula,north of it borders the Captail Bankok and south of it borders Malaysia. Compare with other Thailand region,This district is far more different on Geography,History and even Social environment. The most notable thing about the south Thailand’s over-sea Chinese is that no matter the amount nor the breadth of distributing even nor the wealth they possession, these all stand on the first place of all Thailand.The history of Chinese Teaching in southern thailand is very long,and nowadays no matter on teaching method or the philosophy or other places it’s still at the leading place of Thailand. So,it’s meaningful to have a reach on southern Thailand’s Chinese teaching,it even can let us to feel the oversea Chinese’s affection to their mother language,and the strongly expect of the long lasting of their own culture. In the process of our study, we have visited some Representative schools that contains Universities,High schools and Primary schools. We have collected a lot of important information by Using the method of giving questionnaire and interviews. These information greatly support this thesis’s opinions.By introduce the history and present situation of Chinese teaching in southern Thailand, the article showed us each part of Chinese teaching, for example the teaching material and the mode of teaching and so on.
