Abstract

Abstract

This article aims to examine the history of the use of the term Haw and examine the status of Haw Muslims from the past to before the regime change in Thailand. The study found that the term Haw was used to refer to merchant groups from Yunnan both for Hui Muslims and Han people. Later, the term Haw was later known as the name of the terrorist group which resulted in the concern of the Muslim merchants from Yunnan being called Haw. However, although the term Haw is used negatively, the status of Haw Muslims in Thailand has shifted from the status of foreign merchants to high-ranking government officials and the powerful Muslim community in Thailand.
