Thailand today are the mixture of 4 main ethnicities...
1.Tai/Thai/Tai-kadai (main ethnic, 70% of the country's population)
2.Han-Chinese (oversea boat people from China)
3.Mon-Khmer (Austro-Asiantic aboriginal/previous owner of the land before the Thai/Tai migrates down from China)
4.Malay (Austronesian, aboriginal of the South)
The history and origin of Thai/Tai/Dai(Tai-kadai) people.
Member of the Tai-kadai race are Zhuang,Thai,Lao,Shan,Dai,Tay, and various Tai tribes in China.
Tai-kadai ethnicities are the majority and the main population of Thailand and Laos today(make up around 70% of population), also considered to be the biggest ethnic minority of China. Tai-kadai race consising of around 85 millions people world wide (50 millions in Thailand, 5 millions in Laos, 20 millions in China, 5 millions in Myanmar and around 5 millions everywhere else).
The Tai-kadai race of Thai and Laotian was originated in Southern of the Yangtze river in China before migrates into Southeast Asia (modern day Thailand and Laos) in between 7 to 13 century during the Mongol expansion of Asia(around 700-1000 years ago).
Here is a video that uses map to explains about all of the historical events in Asia which included migration/rise of power/fall of power of all civilization in Asia started since 3000 BC (5000 years ago) up until 2019.

3. Southern Thailand (areas within black circle)
Southern Thailand is the biggest mix pot of all, people there are mixed with all kind of things such as Tai-kadai, Han-Chinese,Malay,Khmer,Arab,Europeans and Indian (People in this areas will kinda have random phenotype/looks, it's super diverse here. The diversity of the people in Southern Thailand is on the similar level to the Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia.)
Statistically Southern Thailand has very low population, the entire region only has 13% of the total population out of the whole Thailand. (9.5 out of 70 millions people)
Southeast Asian countries have more ethnic diversity than Japan and Korea.
Thai Chinese have Thai surnames and given names and have mixed with other ethnicities.
Thailand overall isn't really that diverse and actually quite more homogeneous than most of other countries in Southeast Asia(but of course, not as homogeneous as places like Japan and Korea). The majority around 70-80% of the population of Thailand today are genetically and physically similar to the people of Southern China and generally have East Asian phenotype.
