TheChin Haw orChin Ho (Chinese:秦霍;pinyin:Qín huò;Thai:จีนฮ่อ,RTGS: Chin Ho), also known locally asYunnanese (Chinese:雲南人,Thai:คนยูนนาน), are Chinese people who migrated to Thailand viaMyanmar orLaos. Most of them were originally fromYunnan, a southern province ofChina.^[1][2] They speakSouthwestern Mandarin.

Generally, the Chin Haw can be divided into three groups, according to the time of their migration.^[3]

1. In the nineteenth century, theQing army sent troops to suppress the rebellion inYunnan, known as thePanthay Rebellion, which caused up to 1,000,000 lives lost - both civilians and soldiers. During this time, many people fled to theShan state in Burma, then to northernThailand.
2. ThePanthay Chinese merchants who traded betweenYunnan,Burma, andLan Na from their base in theWa States. Some of them settled down along this trade route.
3. After theChinese Communist Revolution in 1949, remnants of the nationalistKuomintang army fled to Burma and later establishedKuomintang Chinese communities in Thailand

The majority areHan Chinese and follow Chinese folk religion or Buddhism. Approximately one-third areMuslim, also known asHui people or Hui Muslim.^[4]

The Chin Haw have traditionally been itinerant in their lifestyle, conducting long-distance caravan trade throughout the Thai-Burma-Laos frontier, southeast China, and northern Vietnam.^[5]

They have engaged in the heroin trade. Ma Hseuh-fu, from Yunnan province, was one of the most prominent Chin Haw heroin drug lords. His other professions included trading in tea and being a hotelier.^[6]

The Muslim Chin Haw are the same ethnic group as thePanthay in Burma, who are also descendants of Hui Muslims from Yunnan province, China.^{[citation needed]}
