Did you know that Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that a European power has not colonized?
Thailand has seen its fair share of struggles. Today, the Thai government struggles to find its place in the world, oscillating between democracy and authoritarian regimes. Even though its name translates to “Land of the Free,” it seems the country has some trouble living up to that name.

Im Filipino and Thailand is our neighbor in southeast asia. i admire them avoiding colonization. Also Thailand is my first travel abroad. Thai women are also very beautiful.
We have a rat in the center of ASEAN called Malaysia
Thailand is the only other place I'd like to live.
I spent a month there in 85 visiting my Dad and sometimes wish that I would have moved there.
And really should go back to enjoy the great country that it is.
Thank you very much, from a Thai, for recognizing and give the credit where it dues i.e. to our forward thinking Kings 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Our Kings and the monarch have been the core institution that bring development and unity to Thai people.
It's a shame that despite all their contributions the royal monarchs past and present have brought to the land, That the current powers want to destroy and remove the monarchy. These people are not true thais at heart.
Thanks for your clip. I really appreciated.
Your video clip is amazing. Hello, I am from Thailand. Thank you very much for your video clip that reveals the history of Thailand.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for this clip video from a Thai people ,you are understand us .
British send they Ambassador, Sir. John Bowring (who remarkable succeeded in Hong Kong from China) for Re-Negotiation to Siam and then after signed the treaty, Siam appointed him to be the Siam's Ambassador to Europe! /// Once again of good examples about "Diplomacy" of Thailand.
Siam in colonial era followed the Japanese model, when Japan got threatening from America. After that Japan started to reform the country to be more westernised.
That's the same model to Siam in that time.
King RamaV said the great phrase " We will act like them(Westerners) but we will never be them"
Siam was changed to Thailand before my time I d like to see an old map with Siam
Should change the name back to siam.
A bit of luck was there: Located between the sphere of influence of two colonial powers helped, as neither power wanted the other to grab it because it was too valuable to both sides. Kind of like what happened to Iran at around the same time.
Actually the French tried pretty hard. It's a mix of luck of being a natural buffer zone, but some shrewd deplomacy went into making it and keeping it that way, and the fact that Siam was just united and strong enough to defend itself from the faraway European powers unwilling or unable to commit more forces to its conquest.

Nothing about luck. Do you really think that the British and French couldn’t talk to share the land?. The buffer zone can be small city not the whole country. Btw Siam or now Thailand lost like half of their land to save their ass from the colonizer both France and British
It’s about compromising and adaptation of the king, not luck.
We need to know before this .
The word buffer means that there are at least two coordinated forces that act as buffers.
The truth in past history Colonial hunter nation, Hunting territories all over the world. There was negotiations between the colonizing countries or they cooperated in the hunt. to get that land, Most of them will agree to demarcate the border...
Thailand colonized by colonizers At least two nations entered into colonization, which shows that Thailand had more pressure than many colonial nations that were successfully colonized by only one colonizer.
But, In the case of Thailand Despite the intervention of colonists from many nations It's still not successful.
Therefore, the word buffer is a strategy that Thailand has established. Let the colonizers be fooled. They cannot use the method of conspiring to colonize Thailand as successfully as colonists have done in the recorded history of the world.
It's not any superstition.
Doesn't help that the British and the French were on the verge of killing each other for the longest time.
What an interesting country
We remember what the French and the British did to us.
Krama time to refuse them now a day
Great vdo. Thank you. ❤️
Greetings from west by God Virginia... 30 degrees.. it has to warm up to be freezing.

Japan was another Country, that Escaped Colonialism too earlier than Thailand 🇹🇭
The country across the Mekong is Lao.
NOT LOUSE
It was not necessary to ban The King and I, it was hated by all Thais because it portrayed their beloved monarch as a dancing fool.
Unfortunately, the information you cite is only based on Western colonization of Asian nations. Didn't find information from all sides.
not a globe flat non moving firmement
Your thumbnail is fake plz remove it.it belongs to Sri Lanka! It's Sri Lankan art
Huh?
Siam Ayutthaya ended in 1767 at the ploy of the British espionage and Burma. For that the British betrayed the Burmese and partnered with the babysitted Chakri Dynasty to colonize Burma and divided the land of Ayutthaya into Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaya.
You need not to colonize a former superpower after you had broke it apart and get to anoint your proxy as the succeeding monarch.

Actually, Siam is unity state and stronger than India(too Many small state) and Burmese .I think British have an experience in a War with Burmese , its Not worth for the risk. Because Siamese is Stronger than Burmese. It might be the unnecessary loss.
Lol,in first Anglo-Burma war who lick British foot and Help her with tens of thousand soilder?
@@terraminsan7392 Burmese are thai slave anyway🤣🤣😂😂
I'm positive the Burmese were stronger than us Thai. 😂
Otherwise we'd win the war. They are however not as good as diplomacy, which led to their colonization.
@@DanDaFreakinMan ฺBurmese are Weak
Your information is very messed up. Where did you go to study the history of Siam?
😂😂😂 all of this is internationally accepted information. Let me guess your one of those thai people that deny history and say khmer never built angkor? 😂
@@sayajinmamuang There will always be some delusional nationalists in every country. Just like many Cambodian people who deny Cambodian cultures came from Thailand. Everyone around the world knows Cambodia came from Thailand when Thailand gave their piece of land to French. Thus, Cambodian cultures today pretty much just Thai cultures 😂😂😂
@@sayajinmamuang DONT FORGET WHO CONQUER KHMER🤣😂😂😂
Next time dont skip History class
Colony of Siam😂🤣😂💪💪💪🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
