使用する際の注意点

As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Siamese", "writing about Siamese cuisine as a Siamese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Siamese") or with a word like person, man, or woman ("writing about Siamese cuisine as a Siamese person").
