In rural areas outside the capital city, people have a strong southern accent, which even other Thais can hardly understand. Due to the development of the past ten years, the economy of the provincial capital cities is relatively prosperous, so many young people's lifestyles are similar to those of young people in Bangkok. In general, Thai Chinese living in the city have a lifestyle similar to that of Bangkokians.
