According to correlation analysis, the number of funding papers was positively correlated with the number of Thai language research papers (r=0.743); and the number of Thai language programs in Chinese universities was significantly strongly correlated with the number of Thai language research articles (r=1). Moreover, the research found 309 related articles including the area of linguistics, translation, teaching and learning, talented development, and curriculum studies. Linguistic research is the largest population with 51.78% overall, and the smallest group is curriculum studies with 0.32%. Meanwhile, based on the CAGR and AAGR percentages, the linguistics field has dropped significantly (CAGR = -12.62%, AAGR = 8.68%); while the talented development group has grown positively over these 8 years (CAGR = 23.97%, AAGR = 66.67%). This research result was able to establish a correlation between the increasing number of Thai language programs in China, research funds, and the rising number of Thai language research in China. which could approximately predict the tendency of the trend in Thai language research in China.
