If you are speaking of nationality, I believe they would be Thai, at least after the 1st generation. If you are speaking of ethnicity, then Chinese-Thai.

I don't know at what point you would drop the 'Chinese', and become Thai. I suppose what you call yourself is taken from your self perception. Do you call yourself Thai American, Chinese Thai American, or American?

The Thai perception of immigrants, or long time residents/citizens of an other than Thai ethnicity may have changed since I lived there, so hopefully others can adress this also.
