The incidence of thalassaemia trait varies greatly from country to country. It's extremely widespread and occurs in a line extending through the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent and through out South East Asia, in a region including Southern China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula and many of the islands.
