Thailand: Tin miners stand beside a pile of tin ingots stacked in front of a commercial shophouse in Phuket town, c. 1900. Tin was discovered several centuries ago in the Kathu district of Phuket and was mined until 1992 when the last mine on Phuket closed. The tin business drew migrant workers from South China to Phuket, and many of these Overseas Chinese settled permanently in the area.
