Abstract
This article details the distinctive progress in Thailand’s “Chinese + Law” sector. It then examines the development of related teaching resources, culminating in three key conclusions: (1) The integration of “Chinese” and “Law” in Thai vocational education is insufficient; (2) Teaching resources for “Chinese + Law” in Thailand are scarce and of subpar quality. Presently, there are only print textbooks available, with no accompanying digital or multimedia resources developed; (3) The optimal approach for “Chinese + Law” teaching materials in Thailand should involve collaborative efforts between Chinese and Thai experts.
