Chairman of the Association of Vietnamese People in Thailand Nguyen Ngoc Thin said that despite formidable challenges, the first generations of Vietnamese in Thailand set up “camps for kids”, and organised the teaching of Vietnamese to their children.
The Party and State of Vietnam have paid tribute to the work of the Vietnamese Thai teachers, and have organised many trips for them to visit the homeland as well as training courses for the teachers in the hope to maintain the mother tongue among the Vietnamese Thai community, he added.
