Findings on sex preference for children from a Thai national survey show substantial differences for men and women. Married women appear to have a weak or moderate preference for sons, coexisting with a desire to have at least one child of each sex. Their husbands' preference for sons is noticeably more pronounced. Son preference is strongest among urban ethnic Chinese men but is also substantial among ethnic Thai men. There is also some evidence that men like to have at least one daughter. The contrasting patterns of sex preferences found for men and women in Thailand suggest that results can be misleading if studies of sex preferences for children are based exclusively on samples of married women.
一项泰国全国性调查关于子女性别偏好的研究结果显示，男性和女性存在显著差异。已婚女性似乎对儿子有微弱或适度的偏好，同时也希望至少有一个不同性别的孩子。她们丈夫对儿子的偏好则明显更为强烈。在城市华裔男性中，儿子偏好最为明显，但在泰国裔男性中也很显著。也有一些证据表明男性希望至少有一个女儿。在泰国，男性和女性不同的性别偏好模式表明，如果关于子女性别偏好的研究仅基于已婚女性样本，结果可能会产生误导。
