In southern Calif most Thais live spread out rather than within community unlike Vietnameses they are able to build their own "TOWN" called Little Saigon it is beautiful town population near 100.000 in Westminster full of super markets and all kind of services offer to their own and some Americans on the weeken population is almost double come for shopping. The reason they are able to build their own town in short time because most of Vietnam refugees did not have high education or skill so they stay close togather do business within their community with the smart leaders they're able to get GOV. grants and investors help build their town.

It is different from Thais most of them come here by choices and have skill like Docs,nurses and skilled labors so they pick and choose where to live, so Thailand town is very small only one super market and few small grocery stores, not much activities but temple (Wat) is the place where Thais gather than most places.

Los Angeles is the city of many nationalities Chinese,Japanese, Korean,Latino, Thai and many,many more some have no choices they will hang around working within the communities that speak same languages.
