The '''Chin Haw''' or '''Chin Ho''' ({{zh|t=秦霍|p=Qín huò}}; {{langx|th|จีนฮ่อ}}, {{RTGS|''Chin Ho''}}), also known locally as '''Yunnanese''' ({{lang-zh|雲南人}}, {{langx|th|คนยูนนาน}}), are Chinese people who migrated to Thailand via [[Myanmar]] or [[Laos]]. Most of them were originally from [[Yunnan]], a southern province of [[China]].<ref>{{Cite web |script-title=th:คอมพิวเตอร์ แม่ฮ่องสอน |url=http://khondoi.com/thai/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=87 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220130034/http://khondoi.com/thai/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=87 |archive-date=20 February 2012 |access-date=22 February 2009 |website=khondoi.com |language=th}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Forbes |first=Andrew |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=YlmDgbdfgKsC&dq=Andrew+Forbes+and+2+more&source=gbs_navlinks_s |title=Traders of the Golden Triangle |last2=Henley |first2=David |date=2013-02-03 |publisher=Cognoscenti Books |isbn=978-1-300-70146-0 |language=en}}</ref> They speak [[Southwestern Mandarin]].

== Migration ==
Generally, the Chin Haw can be divided into three groups, according to the time of their migration.<ref>{{Cite web |date=10 April 2008 |script-title=th:ประวัติการอพยพของจีนมุสลิม |url=http://www.oknation.net/blog/hidayatool/2008/04/10/entry-2 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825021930/http://www.oknation.net/blog/hidayatool/2008/04/10/entry-2 |archive-date=25 August 2013 |access-date=22 April 2014 |website=oknation.net |language=th |title=Oknation }}</ref>
#In the nineteenth century, the [[Qing Dynasty|Qing army]] sent troops to suppress the rebellion in [[Yunnan]], known as the [[Panthay Rebellion]], which caused up to 1,000,000 lives lost - both civilians and soldiers. During this time, many people fled to the [[Shan state]] in Burma, then to northern [[Thailand]].
#The [[Panthay]] Chinese merchants who traded between [[Yunnan]], [[Burma]], and [[Lan Na]] from their base in the [[Wa States]]. Some of them settled down along this trade route.
#After the [[Chinese Communist Revolution]] in 1949, remnants of the nationalist [[Kuomintang]] army fled to Burma and later established [[Kuomintang Chinese in Thailand|Kuomintang Chinese communities in Thailand]]

Approximately one-third are [[Muslim]], also known as [[Hui people]] or Hui Muslim.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www1.mod.go.th/heritage/nation/tour/generalhome.htm |title=คุ้มนายพล |access-date=2007-08-29 |archive-date=2007-09-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070909161424/http://www1.mod.go.th/heritage/nation/tour/generalhome.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

== Activities ==
