Northern Khmer people also known in Thai as Thai-Khmer people (Thai: ไทยเชื้อสายเขมร lit. Thais of Khmer descent) is the designation used to refer to ethnic Khmers native to the Isan region of Northeast Thailand. Khmers have had a presence in this area since at least the time of the Khmer Empire. With the fall of the Angkor however the Khmers of the Isan region were subject to increasing Thai influence.
