History of Thailand

The Tai ethnic group migrated into mainland Southeast Asia over a period of centuries. The word Siam may have originated from Pali or Sanskrit or Mon , probably the same root as Shan and Ahom. To the Thai, the name has mostly been Mueang Thai.
The country's designation as Siam by Westerners likely came from the Portuguese. Portuguese chronicles noted that the Borommatrailokkanat, king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, sent an expedition to the Malacca Sultanate at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula in 1455. Following their conquest of Malacca in 1511, the Portuguese sent a diplomatic mission to Ayutthaya. A century later, on 15 August 1612, The Globe, an East India Company merchantman bearing a letter from King James I, arrived in "the Road of Syam". "By the end of the 19th century, Siam had become so enshrined in geographical nomenclature that it was believed that by this name and no other would it continue to be known and styled."
Indianised kingdoms such as the Mon, the Khmer Empire and Malay states of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra ruled the region. The Thai established their states: Ngoenyang, the Sukhothai Kingdom, the Kingdom of Chiang Mai, Lan Na, and the Ayutthaya Kingdom. These states fought each other and were under constant threat from the Khmers, Burma and Vietnam. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, only Thailand survived European colonial threat in Southeast Asia due to centralising reforms enacted by King Chulalongkorn and because the French and the British decided it would be a neutral territory to avoid conflicts between their colonies. After the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932, Thailand endured sixty years of almost permanent military rule before the establishment of a democratically elected government.
Prehistory
Mainland Southeast Asia had been a home to various indigenous communities for thousands of years. The discovery of Homo erectus fossils such as Lampang man is an example of archaic hominids. The remains were first discovered during excavations in Lampang Province. The finds have been dated from roughly 1,000,000-500,000 years ago in the Pleistocene. Stone artefacts dating to 40,000 years ago have been recovered from, e.g., Tham Lod rockshelter in Mae Hong Son and Lang Rongrien Rockshelter in Krabi, peninsular Thailand. The archaeological data between 18,000-3,000 years ago primarily derive from cave and rock shelter sites, and are associated with Hoabinhian foragers.

I wanted to focus on this so bad but the robot voice is not it sorry

[@darkfist8015]

The channel exhibits low-quality images, utilizes a subpar robotic voice, and contains inaccuracies in historical data

[@benziescha5438]

The robot voice doesn't work. Intonation is needed especially in these types of vids.

Who's talking? Real woman or the robot?

The first kingdom was called Dvaravati. and immigration from southern China is only part of that. which has trade relations and language It is not about the people who already live in the original area.

Thai culture, including dressing in traditional Thai clothing / annual Thai culture / Thai food, even Pad Thai food, Cambodians claim ownership and also claim to be the origin of every culture in this region, accusing Thailand of stealing it from Cambodia

Don’t act like Cambodia had absolutely no culture before Thailand. Cambodia had its own things going on wayyy before that they’ve developed without the influences of Siam. Let’s not act like they were always high mighty.
