My Dad was Stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam war/conflict. I was named after his Thai fighter pilot best friend. His surname was Prayong. My Dad studied Buddhism & we grew kids grew up with a lot of Buddhist Philosophy in our home. I have always wanted to visit. I have a Huge Respect for Thailand & the Thai People.
rarely heard about war vets in Thailand. That's awesome
I fought in pattaya with tourist police
Come to Thailand it is very beautiful and the thai people are very welcoming. Try to not just stay in the tourist areas. Travel around the country and you will see the real beauty of Thailand.
Prayong or “ประยงค์” in Thailand was plant name “Aglaia odorata” and hope you could find light of buddha soon.
Prayon; You must visit Thailand. It is a beautiful country and the people are friendly. I went on business there in early 2011 and I now go to Thailand two or three times a year every year since and am now planning early retirement in Thailand.
*year 1765*
Burma: "let's invade Siam!"
*175 years later*
Japan:" we want to attack Burma do you mind if we-"
Thailand: "go ahead"
😂😂😂😂😂Revenge
British Burma:Yeah just be lucky that the British didn't allowed me to form our own army.
Yes Lol I’m Thai myself and my Grandma jokes around about that 😂😂😂
Lmao
The war in the past is not our war in the present.
As someone from the Philippines, I have a strong respect for all nations of Southeast Asia. We have come a long way since the days of colonialism and dictatorship. We still have a long way to go until we are truly first class nations, but I have no doubt that we can make it happen.
I am Cambodian. It was the past now we want only peace.. and shake hand together to develop both countries well... agree it?
Yes let's rise together
Omg yes Thai and Khmer need to be friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️
im from buriram thailand i have many khmer friends they're very funny and friendly😊❤
Funan= Khmer =Cambodia= khom =janla

the past is the past. Nowaday we Myanmar ppls love and respect Thailand and Thai ppls. we are brother.
Myanmar 💜 Thailand
How evil is the Burmese government ?? Killing innocent ppl
I'm Thailand I love Myanmar too :)
Bingalis so called rohingya were never part of Burma. Those stories were made up by Muslims communities.

*that moment when farang explains thai history better than thai history teacher*
Just looked up word Farang...Thanks :)
haha lol
I have the sudden urge to call people farang....just texted my brother, let him know what he really is...a farang...always knew it...just didn't have the right word for it yet...he always acted like a farang
Farang... a diverse word...it could mean Guava, Foreigner or France. Every foreigner is a "farang" technically im thai XD
i love your thai vids tho! make more plss :)
Really a great work!
I show it for a Thai student, he said: Wow, they never told us this at school.
yeah, that sad.
I love Cambodia I love my kingdom
too right
what grade are your students? I learned all of this from school.
because Thai Make history by themself but not true.
Thank you. I live in Isaan and watch this maybe once every two months to refresh my knowledge.
From USA
I spent a week in Thailand and loved it. Very nice people and beautiful land. I hope to go back for visit with my kids.
Yes..
Invite plz
It not like thai people actually said
I'm thai and some people not like you thing some people mabey stole your money etc .
Spend 12 years there and you will have a very different opinion about Thai plus the culture after you have been treated like a dog, cheated as well as facing the daily racist comments.
This is the kind of topic that I love: One that's usually disregarded as less important or beautiful than the rest. It might just be a resume but it's a thousand times better than just telling the same about the same civilizations that we all know. I've just seen this channel and I fell in love. Thanks for all your work, we all apreciate it!
Thai BL Series brought me here.. Who's with me? 😂😂😂
Benedict Jalata I love watching Thai BL series. I am right now watching. 2gether, en of love, why are U, My engineer. My first BL that absolutely love is. Love BY Chance. That show introduced me to the world of BL’s a year ago. Lol and I can’t wait for season 2. Although no Pete. I have also read the books. Even started learning the language. But it was history of the world that brought me here. That video is about 25 mins long. But it was the coolest and funniest thing I saw on TH-cam so far.
me haHaha
Alaiwaa😂😂😂
Chai!
So do i, my goodness😅
Good mention of Thailand’s role in the Cold War: it actually housed bases for the Khmer Rouge after it was invaded by Vietnam, a rival of the US, in 1979.
You are such a great person sharing rare known but important historical informations.This is why I subscribed and leaving like to your every videos.
May I express my appreciation for this channel once again? Seriously, Epimetheus, your content provides such a useful introductory oversight of various parts of history that are so often little covered in Western education.
The westerner still hide our history !! I am so sad.
I am from 'Philippines'.After watching "neung daw fao diew" starring james jirayu and taew tameerisuk, i got interested about the history of thailand how do they fight just for their city i really admired those people who sacrificed their lives just to protect the City
And i realized that we should respect and love the other country because many people sacrificed their lives just for liberty and the other coutry doesn't even know about their national athem so disappointed.
"coutry"
Those who protected the realm in ancient kingdom on mainland were not fought just for a city. It was their capital city of the kingdom which consisted of the people in every races, the royal families, the center of culture and trading, everything meant to be their heart of the kingdom. If the city falls, the kingdom falls, and the country in your perception also falls. There was not any border line of those ancient kingdoms on mainland SEA until the period Europian colonization reached the continent in 18th century.
I enjoy how you explain history in general thanks for this fascinating video.
I was wondering how it would be possible to condense Thai history into 5 minutes, and I am very impressed at how much information you have managed to pack into this clip.
Thailand is still the only country in Southeast Asia that hasn't been colonized by Europe:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malaysia was taken by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British (by partitions)
Singapore, Brunei, and Myanmar by the British
Indonesia by the Dutch
Then you got *French* Indochina (made up of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam)
Philippines by the Spanish
East Timor by the Portuguese
_but they never got Thailand_
Kit Marcos yeah..i'm a bit jealous that you guys have kept your indigenous culture
Kevin 080592 hahahah I’m not Thai nor have I ever claimed to be, but I could pass for one.
malaysia only by british. dutch and portugese only hold small part of state in malaysia
Syahrul Asyraf oh, yeah, you are right, actually.
Melaka was a small part of Malaysia and it was first taken by the Portuguese and then the Dutch. And then the British took over and united Borneo, Sarawak, and Melaka into Malaysia
To be accurate, they're only ESCAPED colonisation because they act as a buffer country, at that point of time melaka and temasek port is worth more than to colonise other country.
Anyway if British makes any trouble, they can call France for help, vice versa for France.. So they always have protection.
Colonisation isn't as easy or bloody as you might think, Malayan people at that time was prideful and didn't want to work for the British thus those British calling them as "Lazy".
The reason for no all out war is because we only adhere to the King's instruction. We have been open to foreign trade and and influences just that the Portuguese want to take the port by force but it took years of efforts, ship amd supplies before we lost
The Ming Empire is also too weak to help us although we're are his interest and good friends... Which is kinda waste really.

There is so much to be learned, and I look forward to learning it here. Great work.

I like how I understand this video more than my history class. I'm Thai btw xd

You should always get your information from farangs. Thais will never criticise themselves or admit fault. Makes it hard to learn stuff.
Hope you younger generation kids can overcome the cultural and corruption restraints which hold your country back.
Thailand has potential, but a lot needs to change.
@Da Phetdala why??? do they do that
Your research is better than many other professors before! You got most of the facts, racial groups and territories correct.
Thanks for your short and well research history🙏👍
You've done a great job!

Thailand the land of smiles, beautiful good hearted people. Love this country
That was true before the latest coupe. Now it goes downwards, the clock is turning 60 to 80 years back and hate towards foreigners (those foreigners that helped with investment and knowledge) is growing.
@@sentio1382 The investments are usually mutual benefits scenarios. The investor is investing because he is also gaining from that. Apart from the hate thing hate is too strong a word..
The land of fake smiles?

I've been there. Can't comment to add anything. But it was great learning stuff about Thailand I didn't know. Thank you.
I LOVE YOR VIDS
Awesome content. Was looking for brief on Thailand.
Very interesting & very cool. Great knowledge to have prior to my trip next week.
Your maps are awesome(I really like the water!)
That was amazing to learn about the history of Thailand .
Very interesting to learn .
First of all WOW! you taught me more than my teacher could in a week. I am a Quarter Thai and my grandma actually grew up in Thailand and my Dad was born and raised there for 3 years. I may have some Thai heritage to one of the kings but I don’t know for sure . thanks for this video 🙏 if u hadn’t made this the other option was a 45 minute documentary 😬😬😬
Finally I can understand the history of Thailand.
Great videos!
These videos make stuff I've never even thought or cared about suddenly fascinating.
Can you do a video on the Late Bronze Age Collapse? It might be hard to establish a clear chronology and a lot of it is very open to interpretation, but it's one of the most interesting events in human history in my opinion. I also think that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would make for a good video, one of the deadliest conflicts in history but rarely covered in western media.
TheAntiParadox The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be a great topic. Who wouldn’t to know about the time a Chinese dude who thought he was Jesus’s brother caused an event that took 20 million lives
That one guy who sacked Constantinople 20 million is a pretty conservative estimate too; 30-70 million is very possible, considering the staggering decline in China's population beginning in 1851 (it would not fully recover until we'll into the 20th Century). The Taiping Rebellion is probably the single largest population catastrophe in the modern history of China. Hong Xiuquan's astronomical kill count and absurd personality cult would make Stalin blush.
TheAntiParadox Yeah. And the fact that the Qing dynasty survived it, even when they failed at political and economic reform, as well as going through the first opium war. And when you consider the fact that anti Manchu groups and Muslims in Dali revolted, as well as Nepal invading Tibet and Britain kicking off the second opium war, you have to think to yourself “how the hell did the Qing survive?”. For the most part, the early success of the Taiping rebellion looks like the Mandate of Heaven has ended for the Qing and was taken by this upstart cultish group, but they managed to somehow avoid that. Maybe if internal strife didn’t occur between Hong’s subordinates, as well as not taking Shanghai and pissing off the Colonial Empires of the West, they could have overtaken China.
That one guy who sacked Constantinople How the Qing survived the century of humiliation is beyond me, any one of the catastrophes that befell them would have been enough to destroy the mandate of any other ruling dynasty. China is a country whose history is full of surprises and inexplicable black swans.
Alex Y Honestly, they would probably fall. There is only so much the Qing could take before it collapses in on its self.
Awesome video! May I suggest Vietnam next? :D
Great synopsis of this great country and its history. Concisely told, ,enjoyable and informative......Thank you and good job........
Superb work - thanks for this enlightening short history.
Thank you Epimetheus.
You're Welcome!
btw...I read your article...It was very good :)
Philippine history is very cool
dayang marikit ???? what R u doing here?
@@EpimetheusHistory You should read (Transforming Manila: China, Islam and Spain in a Global Port City) by Ethan Hawkley... that information could be used for more content.
In a way Thailand is still Siam.
True
And capital of Thailand is still call Bangkok(It an old fashioned way that we called our capital city which we don’t call it that way anymore. Now we call it Krungthep mahanakorn).
too long the real name of bangkok.
Hyllie Fuente haha it not that long if you compare it to what used to be full name of Bangkok (Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit) .Well it good that they just recently changed it for Krung Thep Mahanakhon to be official full name of Bangkok or we just call it Krung Thep for short name.
Yeah… the full name is wayyyyyyy to long.
Oh my goodness...!!! Thank you for posting this...!!! I know nothing about Asean history so this was very enjoyable and interesting.
Greetings Thailand..... From India. Buddha bless🙏🙏🙏☸️
Thank you so much, Epimetheus. Can you also please make a video on the history of Vietnam. Thanks.
Ekmal Sukarno Yup agree🖒Vietnamese history pls
Can’t wait to hear about war with Siam several times just for Cambodia
Vietnamese history? Do you want the false nationalist version or the real version? Because I can tell you Vietnamese nationalists distorted a lot information about the Vietnamese history. I don’t trust any of these Vietnamese nationalists, so when I did my research for nearly 20 years...I can tell you a different story based on scientific evidences such as archeological, anthropological, genetic and historical evidences.
Звезда Смерти Nationalist version excludes everything that is pertaining to Chinese. In fact, nowadays, they are trying to remove anything that is related to China. Sad but true!
Звезда Смерти The nationalists claimed that the Vietnamese people come from the Dong Son people... In fact, the Dong Son people were a “Proto-Malay” race, meaning they are Australo-Melanesian with a small feature of Mongoloid. Based on new DNA study, the modern Vietnamese’s main DNA component is composed of Southern Han Chinese with a few Southeast Asian DNA (Negrito, Proto-Malay and Deutero-Malay). Therefore, modern Vietnamese only carry a very small amount of genes from the Dong Son people, but the Dong Son gets celebrated as the ancestor whereas the main gene contributors, the Chinese, were never mentioned... I hope you get the idea. And based on history, many Vietnamese Dynasties can trace their ancestors to China, even Ngo Quyen who rebelled against the Southern Han kingdom (The name “Dai Viet” originated from the Southern Han kingdon, not by the late Ly dynasty) was a Han Chinese. That is just a few that I had listed!
whoever invaded whoever
whoever copied whoseever language
We are still Friends!!
Thai🤝Khmer
Make peace, No war
Ture...most people want peace, to eat good food and sleep in a comfortable place..most of us all share more in common than the differences people want to fight over! Good, bad noble and evil people come from all races and people groups...When the good stand up to the bad all people benefit
I'm a Cambodian(Khmer) and i don't hate Thai people....
the past is the past
the present is what we have to deal with
even if my country was invaded many times by the Thai army.
History is merely the thing of the Past. But most importantly is we have to make today better! I’m glad to found you, who can let go of the Past. I’m sorry of all my ancestors that they ever done bad things to Cambodia. Which i cannot change it. The present is the present. Today is the today.
We’re friends from Thailand to Cambodia. 🇰🇭🇹🇭✨
Let’s have our great Peaceful future and Going forward Together, Cambodia and Thailand.
True i dont hate Khmer people either because we were betrayed by our own people one thai person open the gates of ayutthaya for Burmese troops
True! i'm Thai and i don't hate Khmer. But some Thai people hate Khmer and keep insulting them. I don't want it #Makepeacenowar

Good job.

A little bit short, but as a Thai, I would say it is an accurate basic outline of Thai history
Thanks :)
Gotta start somewhere, it's one area of the world where I wasn't even familiar with the basic timeline. Can start studying particular kingdoms or dynasties off this outline
@Judith Pinkham So where do they came from care to explain?
@@entrepreneurlifestyle7308 They are all Lao. Lanna and Ayutthaya and LanXang were Lao from Xieng Dong Xieng Tong which is modern day Luang Prabang.
@@tarwinwannatham4196 Khom is the word thai call Khmer. Like Khmer Thai as Sayam or Siem (សៀម)
Best history of thailand ❤. I, m from Indonesia 🙏
Finally I found one
History’s been holding me down recently
Only my opinion here. I kind of suspect that Thailand has gained much popularity due to the previous king Phumiphol (the heart and soul of the Thai people for over 60 years. One of the best kings in the history of the world.
Jack Roth - Yes, excellent at stealing, and locking up those who insult him! I’m in Thailand, please don’t tell the government!
im calling da police...
70 years*
@Judith Pinkham i cant say anything to deny that cus i dont know. thats why i gonna ask you how did you came up with that senario
@Judith Pinkham just bc we have uniform mean its copying? Even denmark and other countries have uniform like british the black fur hat also used by french army japan army have uniform like french but in black
I would love to hear the history of Burma/Myanmar
Thank you so much for sharing the History of Thailand .
thank you for explaining the history of my country!:) thumbs up

@@ubermenschzarathustra862 yep, and love for cambodian❤️🇰🇭
now u know the truth
In the past, Thais specialized in combat, punch boxing and Muay Thai were told in French and Japanese. They are very good at the geography of the country. There are still firearms and cannons that are produced by themselves and weapons from East Asia, China, Japan and Europe because Siam has long trade with Europeans and East Asia, China, Taiwan, Japan and Russia before World War I, about 500 years old, is the big brother. of the original ASEAN region without a doubt If there was no World War Laos and Cambodia wouldn't have happened, and I've known this since living in Hua Hin before the epidemic 3 years ago. Thai people are so friendly that you don't even want to cause them problems. Thai people have many face shapes. You will be the whole world there. All races are there. everything is very good Cheaper and better than Thai baht compared to other currencies. I may have thought of it myself or I don't know. But I think you should know that there are nice countries in the world. This is Thailand, my 1st home. From living in Thailand and vacationing in Thailand for 3 years, I'm sure why Japanese people don't want to fight Thai people in World War 2. They are friendly but When it comes to fighting, they fight and are very scary. From former homeless people in the Pacific ✌✌😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
Thai historians have lied to their own people. In fact, Thailand was not born before Cambodia's temples.

Lavo city, the people are Khmer but Travadi city the people Are Mon. Travadi was born before the Lavo city.
@@thaibadboy7219 I'm just a translator, so I didn't think to add or elaborate on what Epimetheus said (it's not the point of translation), but my understanding of what he said was that he meant that Lavo was originally part of the Dvaravati, then broke itself off into its own kingdom. He doesn't mention the ethnicities of the people. I understand that aside from this video, there is still debate about who the Dvaravati people were. They used the Mon language, but whether they are Mon people or not isn't clear.
ผมแค่เป็นคนแปลผมจึงไม่ได้คิดจะมาเติมหรืออธิบายอย่างละเอียดเองเพิ่มเกี่ยวกับเรื่องจากที่ Epimetheus เขาพูด (มันไม่ใช่ประเด็นของการแปล) แต่ความเข้าใจของผมเกี่ยวกับคำที่เขาใช้พูดคือเขาหมายความว่าละโว้เดิมเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของทวารวดีจากนั้นก็แตกออกเป็นอาณาจักรของตัวเอง เขาไม่ได้เอ่ยถึงเชื้อชาติของผู้คน ผมเข้าใจว่านอกจากวิดีโอนี้มันยังมีการถกเถียงกันอยู่ว่าใครคือชาวทวารวดี พวกเขาใช้ภาษามอญ แต่ไม่ว่าพวกเขาจะเป็นชาวมอญเองหรือเปล่ก็ไม่ชัดเจน

Great video! Should do one for Cambodia!
Yes he did okay Sister
Thx this helped with my history project
i love thailand from turkey 🇹🇷❤🇹🇭
I am an Australian living in Thailand. This is an excellent History of Thailand. I would like to see more of the pre 500 AD history. It is interesting to reflect on the military conquest and colonisation of the Philippines by the Spanish followed by the USA, of Indonesia by the Dutch, of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos by the French, of Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, China and Hong Kong by the British, and Honolulu and Japan by the United States of America. America itself was Conquered by Spain, Portugal, France, Britain and Europe in General. There is an obvious plan to conquer and control the world from Europe (including England). Europe didn’t discover these countries first, they were already discovered and occupied. Every time a country wants to restore an independent home rule government the people are described as terrorists, communists and anti democratic dictators. I was surprised to learn that Japan set out to liberate China and the countries of South East Asia, from European domination and control. When America stopped oil and steel supplies to Japan with trade sanctions Japan regarded this as a hostile act and responded by declaring war on America. Sanctions are an act of war, often preceding kinetic war, that is, military conflict. I was surprised to see a man in a WW2 Japanese soldier’s uniform posing for photographs as a bridge guard in Thailand. You see, it seems Thailand understood that Japan was trying to free Asia from the French, British and American (in the Philippines) conquerers. The Germans originally trained the Japanese army to fight Russia, to prevent Russia getting a year round sea port with access to the Pacific ocean. Similar to the Crimean War fought to prevent Russia gaining a sea port open to the Mediterranean Sea. Japan invaded Thailand as an ally to Thailand. The spread of communism in Asia is an alliance with China against Europe and America, not because Asians want communism, but they do not want foreign rule. The invasion of countries by Europeans has caused resentment which appears to be racism. To repress revolutions by the people, we were taught in Australia, “Beware the yellow peril,” and “The Russians are coming.” These days it’s Border Control to keep the CCP virus out. Sorry, got carried away. Thanks for a great thought provoking documentary.
Da Phetdala Thanks for you information. It is difficult for me to understand the truth of the history. I know when we went to Laos my Thai lady understood the Laotians and Visa Versa. Not so in Khmer Cambodia. We live in Sukhothai. I don’t speak or understand any of these languages. I personally am more interested in the origin of the religions and culture of South East Asian than a history of battles between city states. It seems to me that Thailand has a belief in spirits and the practice ancestor worship that started before the introduction of Hinduism, which was followed by Buddhism. That earlier belief and worship system is very similar to the Japanese Shinto religion. This suggests a more common ancestry that has divided over time into different ethnic groups with a history of battles, forced migration, more battles and conquests or enslavement. I do have some good books about SE Asia but my library is back in Australia. I will use your information to read up on Thai, Tai,Mon Chankri, Siamese, Laos, Taiyuan, Shan, Lue, Lanxang, Nan, Malay, Malay Mon and Khmer. That will keep me busy, as every lead opens whole new avenue of investigation.
Da Phetdala Your second explanation is the way I understand Thai history. That is the way I understand the re enactments at the Loi Kratong festival. I am not confident that I have all of the correct terms or names. At least as a falang I may be forgiven for my ignorance. Maybe when the new high speed train to China is running we will visit Guangzhou, Guangdong and GuangXi regions. I’ve added Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Lanna, Damrong and Chulalongkorn to my list of key words to read about and to research on TH-cam. Thank you for your time and effort.
Da Phetdala I have found, ‘The Book of the Pung Gourds.” On books.google.co.th published by ISEAS, the Unstitute of South East Asian Countries. Free reading on the internet. The Kha, original black inhabitants of these lands interest me. As an Australian I am aware that the original people of Australia arrived some 60,000 years ago by boat. DNA testing shows that their descendants were in New Zealand 9,000 years ago and in South America 9,000 years ago.
I received a Green Notice from Thai Authorities to advise me that researching the DNA of Australian Aborigines is not permitted. I could not read the Thai writing, my Thai partner could not translate so she just said, No, Not do. So I went on to other things. In Australia it is permitted.
I am interested in history. So much knowledge and wisdom is lost every time somebody dies. I find SE Asian people do not appear explain the meaning of Orb (Pearl of Wisdom) of Jao Mae Quanyin (Cėāmae kn xim). She is the Chinese Mother of Mercy, in Malaysian Mandarin Guan Yin Pusa, Guan Shi Yin Pusa, in Khmer Preah Mae Kun Ci Lem, in Sinhala Natha Deviyo and Hanyu Pin Yin: Guanyin.
To buddhists Jao Mae Quanyin is a Bodhisattva, one who has reached enlightenment. Her name holds meaning. Jao means Prince or Princess, Ruler, Esteemed Person, Lord, Master, Holy Being. Mae or Maae means mother in Thai. Quanyin means Goddess in Chinese. Mumā and mā mean mother in Chinese. Cimu means loving mother and may be the word route for Cėāmae, spelled Caemae in Wikipaedia. Yin means female, Yan means male. Taiyin means moon so what does Quanyin mean? Quan means Fist in Chinese. The Pinyin dictionary says quán means all, whole, entire, every, complete, right, power, temporary, loop, circle, ring, and immortal. In Vietnamese it means a soldier or warrior, Taekwondo is a martial art in Korea. I could choose appropriate meanings but what was the original Chinese intended meaning?Did the Chinese chose to confuse to hide the true meaning of their symbolic story?
Is the orb a star? Is the star Polaris, the North Star or Pole star? Referred to as the Pearl of Wisdom. Is Jao Mae Quanyin the guiding light of the night sky, protector of seamen and desert caravans, travelling without sign posts across land or sea without roads to follow. The dragon of Chinese culture may be the constellation Draco that seeks the Pearl of wisdom. Locating Draco helps to locate and identify Polaris. Graham Hancock had astronomical alignments taken for Anchor and revealed that Anchor Wat was aligned to Draco. He was ridiculed by people that were not astronomers and had not made studies of the alignment.
Why does this matter? Because one of the great secret shafts, now revealed, of the Great Pyramid was aligned to the North star at the time the pyramid of Khafra was built. Due to the precession of the equinoxes the North star is not always in position. The North Star at that time was Thuban. How can the designers and builders of Angkor Wat in the 13th century AD be related to the builders of the Khafra’s Great Pyramid of Giza, that was built in 2560 BCE. In the same way that the Nagar is related to the Annunaki in Sumer of Ancient Mesopotamia. Angkor from Nokor from Nagar from Nakar from Nak. The Sanskrit word route of snake. The great snake in the sky is the Milky Way. Its thousand eyes (figuratively speaking) see all good and see all evil. It is the guardian of the heavens. The snakes body forms the defensive and protective wall of the city. Its seven heads represent the seven planets. The Nagar or Nakar’s heads guard the gates and entrances to city. Ancient walled cities were called Nagars. The great Nagar guards the gates to the heavens above.
To my mind Quanyin’s meaning is found in the ancient writings of Gilgamesh in Mesopotamia from 2100BC. Shamat, a priestess from the temple of Ishtar, also known as a temple prostitute, is sent by the God King Gilgamesh to seduce Enkidu, a wild man that runs with the deer. This was when agriculture with irrigation was introduced onto the grazing lands of the herdsmen. The king had to re allocate the use of land and resources. They have sex for seven days and seven nights which drains the wild man Enkidu’s energy. Gilgamesh the God King is well pleased. Gilgamesh says they may eat of the tree of life but not the tree of knowledge. Shamat says if we eat of the tree of knowledge we will will have the great ability of heroes. They eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge, but lose eternal life. Gilgamesh is angry because he has been disobeyed. Note: The original sin is disobedience of God, not having sex. Sex is a sin in the Judeo-christian version written thousands of years later. The knowledge was to ancient jews sexual knowledge of carnal pleasure, sex. In Buddhism one must let go of the physical and material world and seek oneness with the spiritual universal state of eternal being. Enlightenment leads to transcendence.
Gligamesh is angry because they have the power and ability that comes with knowledge, and with these powers, if they eat of the tree of life they will have eternal life. They shall become Gods. This story defines a God as one with incredible powers and one that is an eternal being.
In a variation the elixir of life is in a vessel on they ground. A snake comes out of the water and steals the elixir of life. He drinks it and immediately sloths his skin. The ability to renew his body is the origin of the purpose for reincarnation. This led to the worship of snake headed human bodied figurines. The Annunaki. ‘An’ meaning man as in Malay - Malayan. Nak meaning snake and ki meaning earth. Annu in Hindi means Lord Shiva. Anu from An meaning descended from An the chief God of the Sumerian Pantheon.
In Iraq and Iran natural gas escapes from the earth. When it ignites it may burn indefinitely as an eternal flame from the underworld. As snakes appear to go to ground and die in Autumn/winter and are reborn or resurrected in Spring and Summer they are seen as fire breathing serpents. For the great serpent in the sky, the Milky Way, to rise into the sky, (as it does rise above the horizon), it must have wings to fly. We have the Fire breathing dragon, emerging from the cave, and rising to seek the secret of eternal life from the Jao Mae Quanyin, The great protector and one with the power to sooth the savage beast.
To my mind we are looking at different interpretations of similar and related ideas. Natural science encoded in religious myths. Religious concepts developed from man’s attempts to explain the meaning of our existence.
The Egyptians traded with Mesopotamia. The Mesopotamian word for an Egyptian as also the same as their word for an Egyptian ship. ( I forget it) The Kings married each others daughters as peace agreements. To keep it all in the family. Princesses brought their retinue of assistants, priests, advisers, medical staff, maidens and body guards. There was definitely an exchange of ideas, knowledge and beliefs. The Mesopotamians traded with India (Since partition India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) India’s trade and exploration expanded Eastward to South East Asia Indonesia and I believe across the Pacific to America. Traders preferred to learn the local language rather than teach their own language. This way if their competitors did discover their foreign suppliers, It would take them some years to be able to negotiate competitively and successfully. But teaching the locals the principles of stone work and some of the beliefs and natural sciences, especially farming, agriculture and astronomy may have caused local communities to grow and develop. It may have been India that influenced the Aztecs and Incas. Add to that the Chinese North East Asian influence in North and Central America and we can see the likelihood of the Diffusion of Ideas. Most Indian Scholars believe India is the cradle of civilisation. I believe ideas travelled both ways, but each civilisation developed their own language, interpretation and expression of those ideas.
The natural world, the cosmos, the universe, the sun and the moon, the earth, sea and rivers, plants and animals are our natural world. They exist and are significant to all people around the world. They influence all cultures and societies. The North Star and Draco are still significant pointers today. We have just advance in our technology and use different systems to fulfil our same needs. It did not take thousands of years for Astronomy and Astrology, Religion, Trade and methods of war to reach India. The arrival of Indians in SE Asia is equated to Hindu Buildings and the growth of trade and civilisation under the leadership (or was it conquest and rule?) of Indian Princes. They brought advanced irrigation and agriculture to SE Asia. Officially 2,500 years ago. So who were the Kha? The original black inhabitants. There are ancient monoliths in Thailand. Some Thai historians propose that Thailand and SE Asia must be older than China. During the Ice ages China was uninhabitable. The Chinese must have moved South during the ice ages, or only moved north after the Younger Dryas. Much of Ice Age China is now under water in the South China Sea. The habit of building houses on stilts in SE Asia may be a technique practiced over the last 10,000 years to deal with rising water levels bobjuniel@icloud.com Too difficult using TH-cam this way. Email is easier and better.
balls bag 👍Yes I agree. The history of the world is very much a history of population division, migration and conquest.Asia was no exception. But the Europeans in the 15th century set out to conquer the world, imposing Catholicism, the word means Universal, the Religion for the New World. Not just city states and kings fighting but a deliberate plan to conquer the world.
balls bag 👍
I could tell you plenty about Chinese, Middle Eastern, European, American, and even African history, but if anyone asks me about the history of Indochina I'd draw a blank. Until I watched this video! Thank you!
Awesome presentation!
The full name for Bangkok is Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit.
Somehow I can still recite the whole thing from heart (watched a play when I was a kid that had the full name as the lyrics and I recite it from that, I think it was from a play about the Siamese twins).
In Thailand obviously the Burmese are painted as the bad guys in the war. I would like to get a (clean and non-hateful) Burmese perspective on the invasion of Ayuthaya. Anyone?
Zaw Moe Tun i am German that’s not true .
You can seperate nazis from German civilians .
That’s why you call it Nazi germany .
It’s not like the German military then did what they wanted many Germans supported it.
They were happy when Jews got deported helped etc.
Stop talking shit . Burmese also helped. As civilians .
You can’t do a war when the normal people don’t support you! You don’t have the economic then.
Da Phetdala you again who keep painting King Taksin and Chakri dynasty. You created own lied story again and again despites as laotian living in Thailand. Could you lie about Thailand history somewhere else far from my eye?, i’m ayudhaya decesdent. 😝 As history written King Taksin was executed and sounds like Chinese dynasty involved story, then, New chakri dynasty king established new Kingdom both name and capital city, but moved location just opposite side of river from old city. You have no idea why? ... you knew very little. Fool on ... 🤣😂🤣
Zaw Moe Tun Wars between neighboring kingdoms in old days were common and unavoidable. Nowadays though it s taught as history in school but Thai new gen changes better perception on Myanmar. Past is past, those were wars of leaders, not cilvilians. No country or border like present. What Ava did to Ayudhaya, Bangkok did to Viantianne too 100 years later, and modern Thai regrets too. Live with present. No one can go back to fix it.
It was fighting between Monarch vs Monarch.The army were about 50K it is not representative of whole country.
@Da Phetdala They didn't start the war . The war was started between 2 Kings. You don't understand what really bad guys are . Even in Previous wars Burmese never try to change or introduce their culture to Thai people.Instead Burmese brought Thai food and music and culture to Burma. For Example during British Rule , British tried indianized Burma. Put Indian Majority in Capital Yangon . Still u can see those Indian curry ( one of unhealthy foods) deep seated in Burmese cuisine and street tea shops like Bombay tea shop in whole country which waste a lot of precious time for young people.
Thailand was never colonized by Europeans. Thailand was the only country in South East Asia which was not colonized by Europeans.
Without fighting...
However, whiteys are full of your streets though ^__^
True. So no influence from outside. Unfortunately also not in the architecture. No beautiful buildings (except some temples) in the bigger cities. All look same and boring.

Great video
Thailand = The United Kingdom of Asia known for it's astonish diplomatic maneuvering and political intrigue, that really helps them in facing foreign threats.
Another reason that they never being colonised by any foreign nation was due to it's geographical location, but the construction of the Kra Canal would changed everything.
The Kra Canal would make Thailand having the risk to be next the Malacca/Singapore which was colonized due to their geostrategic locations and roles in the region....
kra canal wasnt build because they make a treaty with the UK(singapore would lose it strategic value)
China already agreed to build the Kra canel for Thailand. But we afraid it’s going to be another 100 years lease to pay back the huge dept of their construction cost. Or China Military take over of the port.
it because the USA are controlling the malacca strait so to build the kra canal will depend on super powers opinion
that why they never want to build them
1:39 I see MON, can you do more about it?
It to do a video about MON because of the limited first-hand credible sources but there still are Mon people all across the world today in small communities.
Interesting. I didn’t realise they were a war with Burma for so long. 👍🏽
Thailand is one best country rich culture and good development mostly people there is very nice and friendly I love sent my time there and keep the memories forever love from 🇮🇳 ..
I have been to Thailand 4 times since the military assumed power and I assure you that you would never know it . I think the military is the only power competent enough to rule over the country and they knew it. I didn't have any problems and had the time of my life there . I married a Thai woman and will be very happy to go back again, it's a beautiful country.
The Military only want money and power. They didn't care about economic in country
You are right, the military rulers think in long term.
Why i get interested in Thailand's history is because they are my neighbour(proud SEA here), and then because i have watched many thailand boran dramas such as Bhuppae sunniwat, Nakee and Hua Jai Sila.
@gremausara no, im a Malaysian. But we are the saudara right so it doesn't matter🤘
Thank you for your interest in Thailand
Gila ke? Orang Siam benci kita gilerrrr babi. Nampak melayu terus diorang melalak tapi melayu mane prnh tau "extremely ignorant".
This is the main stream Thai history which being taught in school in general. It is always start with Sukhothai is the first Thai kingdom because they focus on Thai history in southeast Asia. However there are still many sub streams history that include many Thai speaking kingdoms and city states earlier than Sukhothai period that once founded in both southeast Asia and southern China.

dang, i'll say that you explain Thai history in a way that's easier to understand than some of my teachers! :D
I am Thai, but I am not a nationalist one. I can say the content in this video is somewhat inaccurate. However, there are so many Thai nationalists out there agree with this video or even say something ridiculous about the unjust boundary delimitations in the past. I have to apologise my fellow Thais for saying this, because I learnt that my history classes promoted hatred between neighbouring countries. I know that those countries also do the same thing. So I just hope one day we will overcome this nonsense.
Ya'll know what we call you here in Cambodia? The thieves that stole our Land and Culture. What do you call us?
Fandy Vall ok dude there is no need for that
Fandy Vall the story that I know we called you "a thorn in our side" like during the time when we was fighting and so busy with myanmar army or when we was weak, your kingdom tried to be independent from us or stab our back.
I mean, people from Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Myanmar are really cool and nice. I go to a convention each year with the majority of the people coming from these countries. And its awesome.
So I dont see any reason to hold onto historical grudges. :/ We are all Asean united, if war breaks out and threatens our borders, we will fight for each other. Only historical grudges will kill us all.
@Fandy Vall, I don't really think we call Cambodian anything, Khamer. I think that happens everywhere in the world as it's human's nature to interact with one another. We as human all take, and we as human all give at some points of time. From what I can understand, some of our roots (cultures, language, art) are from Khamer. You got friends, right? That's what happened when people mingling. Things evolve over a long period of time. Hope you get my point.
Nice and fast. Thanks.
Wow!! thanks you for you make to my Thailand!! ขอบคุณค่ะ!!🤗🤗😗😘😶
I'm Thai and I must appreciate you for doing this education clip. Your explanation is better than most of the history teacher I ever studied back in my schoolday. Part of it is because the heavy nationalistic policy that denied a lot of events that happen especially the event that bring shame to the nation and contradict the ruling hierarchy at that time. So that's why a lot of Thai people still think that Junta is good for Thai politic because they never learn of the bad side of Junta in their education system.
I Love Thailand, one day, i will come to there. See you, Thailand.
From Vietnam?
Yeb👌
Thanks :)
Wow! I'm Thai and you know more about Thailand than I do hahaha Thanks I have learn something today 😄
I’m so proud to be Thai🇹🇭
thailand was saved from burmese rule because the qing dynasty invaded the burmese empire. burma had to withdraw all their troops in thailand back to burma where they defeated 4 qing invasions
@Kush Kunte Qing dynasty It was ruled by the Manchus.It's an East Siberian nation.
@Kush Kunte meanwhile, the Qing emperor believed that if Myanmar ruled the whole peninsula, they also would challenge the Manchus.This is a historical necessity. Every part of East Asia will be unified. The next step is to rule the whole East Asia. The Manchus themselves broke the balance in East Siberia and defeated the Ming Dynasty.so don't Looking at History from Today's Perspective.Today's China is the product of the alliance of many East Asian nations. Including part of Korea, half of Manchuria, half of the Western Regions, half of Mongolia, the whole Tibetan area, part of Indochina (yunnan province) and China proper.
That fucking idiot to ignore the big war after Qing dynasty stop invaded Burma. After that Burma sent 100,000 troops to Thailand but this time Thailand won.

Maybe you can talk about the Hmong people of Indochina as well as going into “The War of the Insane”? They are not well known, and I find it amazing how they can make weapons modern for the time from just what they had in the forests, and how they stood ground against the French without any foreign help.
I don't know about westerner, but for Thais people Hmong is one of us Thais for sure same as Chinese Mon Tai or whatever ethic who living in Thailand, I don't want compare Hmong in other country, but Hmong Thai thry are one of Thai people
Nice summation.
