56% Teochew (潮州), 16% Kae (客家), 11% Hailam (海南), 7% Guangtung (廣東), 7% Hokkien (福建), 3% other (Yunnan (雲南), Hokchiu (福州), Chin Ho (回), etc.) Numbers of people who are part Chinese or full are probably higher, due to assimilation.
I supposed "ba jung" means just the same thing, according to the context this phrase is used in this Thai rendition. Anyway there're quite a number of Thai words which were "loaned" from Hokkien-Teochew dialects. Actually many Thai-Chinese are of Teochew origins and not Hokkien, but I supposed many of them no longer speak their dialects, except for the older generation, or those from the southern parts of Thailand like Hatyai, Phuket, etc.
U r right. Those in the South like the provinces bordering Malaysia speak MINNAN (Hokkien/Teochew). Eg. in Haadyai, Phoket, Betong, etc; Hokkien/Teochew dialects is widely used & understood by Chinese & Thai alike. Probably influence from Malaysia's towns like Penang, Kangar, Alor Setar & Kota Bahru.
