From 1857 onwards, many steamship lines were launching their regular, year-round service of transporting cargoes and passengers on multiple routes between Bangkok and Southern China. All these routes required a traveling time of merely seven to ten days. Thus, the number of arriving Chinese was found to skyrocket, especially on the routes originating from Swatow (Shantou) and Hainan. This new generation gradually emerged with a significant role to play in the modern Thai economic arena, replacing the Chao Suas who had attained wealth and proserity under the old system.
