Unfortunately, not so many people know how rich the history of Thailand is! There are so many important aspects that we couldn’t include in a 10-minute video. We know that we did not focus so much on the ancient period, the migration of people, the large influence from India, Buddhism, and the very important trade with Indian Kingdoms, China, and even the Roman Empire. Also, Thailand managed to preserve its kingdom and didn't become a colony. We would like to include more details about those parts of history in our future videos. Thank you so much for watching and for supporting us!
Hello Im thai and all of information were correct!
Do history of Nepal sooner bro
You could have talked a little about the previous king Bhumibol, he made sure that the farmers in the North got oxes and tools to make farming food more profitable than farming Poppies for drugs. That was really needed and a lot of drugs used by American soldiers in Vietnam came from the North of Thailand. He is seen as a Saint in Thailand. But nice video!
This video is not so different from ministry of education's historiography. But as you've said, 10 minutes can only contain just a handful of information and you can't discuss many interesting things in Thai history anyway.
In my opinion this seem dull.

Thanks to our lovely neightbor India who gave us alot of history, friendship, ramakian and much more. We love and always sherish it forever.
Love India so much! The birthplace of all of our cultures and languages♥️
I love india from thailand ,India is original culture of thailand ❤❤❤
Lots of similarities as well
As a Thai, I really do appreciate this video. However, to clarify some small mistake, it's Taksin not Taskin. Phraya is a higher ranking noble title in Siamese aristrocratic hierarchy, equivalent to Marquess or so. His birth name is Sin and was the lord governer of Tak province prior to the fall of Ayutthaya Kingdom. Thus, he was commonly known as Phraya Tak (Lord of Tak). Even though later proclaimed king and had his official royal name, he is still dubbed as King Taksin (a combination of his former title and his birth name) until this day and primary history books always refer to him as King Taksin which is quite a special case since most of Siamese/Thai kings are always referred to by their more official names not their birth names. (tbh, I have learnt his royal name once but totally forgot about it. It's super lengthy and full of auspicious Bali-Sanskrit words. We Thais know him as King Taksin anyway)
Butttt...why thailand and cambodia always fighting in social media...kinda funny because i thought only malaysian and indonesian often arguing over thing such as traditional dance,music instrumenr etc
@@luqmannn8426 tbh, i think it's because the lack of understanding historical background and 'shared culture'. Something originated from the same roots but developed separately over the course of history. So, yeah, every now and then we get into internet fight lol.
@@luqmannn8426 don't mind Khmer bro they live in past they claimed that Thai Stole Khmer land and culture they don't know that sharing culture exist
Unfortunately, he was a victim of a military coup that began a long tradition of military coups that still lives on to this day.
Thanks
One of the richest and most underrated histories in the world, overlooked by so many. But when you read into it and dive deeper it’s history is amazing.
Even better then europe???
As a filipino this video is amazing! I love thailand from Philippines🇵🇭
thanks . i love you too ❤️
I love the Philippines and Thailand both. I lived there from 2011 to 2018.
I'm planning to go back. Had the best time of my life in these countries. Beautiful.
filippinos does more efforts than thais with westerners. .
I'm a Malaysian and we studied Thai history in school though not in detail but enough to understand the overall. I'm surprised that King Bhumibol was not mentioned at all in this video. He was very well respected in this region and when he passed away there were a lot of Malaysians paid their last respect to him at the Golden Palace.
thats great as a thai im also confuse why he did not talk about rama 9 because he helped develop the country alot
they omitted a lot of Thai history
He have great influence and roles, though, I disagree he’s as great as Thai’s propaganda taught us, he have many dark moments and I think overall positive impact, he’s still overrated
@@ryuishisama5149 Who you talk about rama9? Can you tell me many dark moment? I'm Thai and I learn and see Thailand developed by project and speech from him, see many things ruin by politician coruption. You should go out and see by your eye. I'm sorry if my english wrong.
@@patweethongsak7093
First of all, I admire a lot of his influence and capabilities, particular his diplomacy skills and international affairs ; Reflecting how Rama V handles colonization threats from 2 super powers. He also make good use of many people in the parliament and supports/advise some good politicians into power (Anan Panyarachun, Prem Tinsulanon, some others too much names)
But what Thai’s are taught are kinda of an obvious propaganda ; that he directly develop the communities and civilizations himself. The famous ‘so-called’ 4,000 projects where he took all the credit can be criticized in many ways ; It’s still the government money/our tax, he uses his name and he solely take credits but it also takes lot’s of other people to help and even without him it should be government responsibility anyways, most of his 4,000 projects aren’t really impacting a large difference as some ‘projects’ are just building a dam or roads, basically he’s mostly just kinda advertise/promotes the event, which is actually useful, but overrated.
That’s the main part where people adore him, which is in all ways a propaganda.
Overly progressive university, Thammasat University’s students, have been accused of cooperating with the communist movements, which is like truth, also was rumored to attempt the abolish the monarchy, having nuclear weapons hidden in the university, and other stuff. The US government (Against communism) funded some support, the military, police, and many royalist groups (Nawaphon, Village Scouts, Red Gaurs) gather and storm the University (AKA Thammasat University Massacre), many students were killed, and their bodies became piñatas, so much gore and violence, so much hate, and the person behind this, who gathered and support the royalist groups, the police and military force, the US funds, was no other than King Rama IX, there are evidenced photos of him giving supports to these people. (This is kinda controversial, like to fight against communism threats, still, was the call to massacre students just?)
When you say so many politicians ruin the country, so I assumed if that’s true he must try to stop them, but even those politicians don’t dare to go against him, I believed he didn’t really go against corruption or the real politicians or else there should be his opposites existing, or maybe he just took everyone out secretly.
When Taksin Chinawatra came to power as PM, he was a populist and use many tactics to gain majority votes that seemed unfair, still he was a very effective leader and the economy boomed hard, this guy go against many ineffective bureaucratic affairs and was hated by many public officers. Many try to get the King to dislike him with rumours, but what he was accused was more of a ruse and fake ; rumors that he tryna overthrow the monarch, yet he bow and respect the King. The King also felt challenged because he’s the only PM he can’t really control, thus sparking the red-yellow shirt conflict. The current military dictator, Prayut Chan-Ocha who ousted Taksin’s sister, Yingluck Chinawatra, was also backed by the King.
So probably the King never really fight these politicians or corrupted schemes, or else he would have face similar things Taksin did, or worse, these bureaucrats are actually his backs, the King himself knows how to play politics, so I guess rating him as a flawless hero was too much, he’s a well played politician, but still human to me and did lot’s of flaws.
The worst thing he left Thai’s was no other than his corrupted family ; The Queen had far more presences in various dark affairs, his son, the current King Rama X, has the worst rumors of a human being possible, many of his family members have been involved in some shitty events.
So.. yeah, he really have all the power, but these things still run, if he really fight against evil, as the propaganda have spoken, he wouldn’t be this overrated.
Thailand has an amazing rich history that reads almost like a legend. I've been there once, They have Great food and a Strong people, more so than I have ever known.

As a Mon , I'm so sad upon seeing early Mon cultures and kingdoms in Thai history were cut out in this video. As Mon founded the earliest civilizations in Thailand like Dvaraviti and Harbujaya, I think they deserve some parts in this video.
My grandfather was a mon
Siamese is a combination of Mon, Thai, lao and many more living together in unity under the King of Siam back in the day even though Mon in Suwanapum is not all the ones from the Myenma but already co-existed with others in the areas in Siam. Some said even the Siam Royal bloodline has Mon in it.
You have Rich Culture History own cuisine and an separate Mon State in Myanmar near Thai Border.
My best friend is also Mon and we live in Yangon Myanmar now with Millions of Mon descendants.
If you already live in Myanmar then sorry I thought you live in Thai 😅
And as a Burmese Im sorry that our ancestors invaded Mon Lands and Ayuthaya in the founding of Burma Empire.
@@nyizaw8335 Thank you so much for your words.
Yes, I'm also from Myanmar.
As you said it's true that we have some unique traditions and culture but many Mons don't and can't speak their Mon language very well. That's so sad and we are in the risk of blending to be a mix.
That's why we have to work hard to preserve our language and traditions.
Thai people accept Mon as their ancestries. Their DNA of the Thai in the Central, the North and the South related to Mon.
I feel like this documentary missed out a big part of South Asian and Hindu/Buddhist influences in Thailand which had a big impact on the culture of Thailand. The modern Thai writing system is very similar to South Indian writing systems. The Khemer Empire was a Hindu/Buddhist Empire that used Sanskrit/Old Khemer.
Truly. The significance of this region being within the Indosphere is entirely ignored in this video.
Only buddhist
@@privilegedindiansrworsthum8408 Buddhism itself is entirely influenced by Hinduism. If you think they exist independently you are sorely mistaken.

A lot of Thais have Portuguese blood in them. There is a Portuguese town right next to the old King's palace next to the Chao Phraya river. Lots of well preserved Portuguese architectures all over Bangkok still housing people and stores.
Pretty good overview.
Unfortunate that there wasn't enough time to mention the Mon culture which predated Tai. The Mon brought Buddhism to Southeast Asia and probably deserved a mention as did the later Lanna and Sukothai Kingdoms.
Mons are mostly forgotten by most people. They are mentioned a bit more in Myanmar since we Bamars are a mix of Bagan and Mon people.
Most Thai people today are Mon.
Very interesting, I never knew it was so "busy"! I recently saw a list with the former great empires of the Medieval/Renaissance period (none are European).

Yes, with the accent on the YOOT.
In khmer , we called it "ក្រុង អយុធ្យា" Kroung Ayutthiyea means city of peace in Cambodia I don't know what it means in thai . We pronounce it Ah-yoot-thi'shea pronounce like Kampuchea . Even a famous country as thailand the westerner can't proberly pronounce . it makes me feel better when they pronounce us wrong XD . Peace from Cambodia 🇰🇭💕🇹🇭 .
It has its etymological origins in the word Ayodhya - the Kingdom of Ram.
I went to Ayutthaya a few weeks ago. This guy really should have gotten a Thai to check the names. Siam is pronounced incorrect too. I am pretty sure it is pronounced Sai am
Yes, that is the correct way to pronounce it and I find the pronunciation in this video a bit annoying!!
India has a massive influence in Thailand and SE Asia that was completely ignored in this video. The city/kingdom of Ayutthya is named after Ayodhya in India, the birthplace of Lord Ram. The king of Thailand is himself named after Lord Ram. He is traditionally consecrated from the water of the river Ganges. The emblem of Thailand is the white elephant Erawan, derived from Airavat, the vehicle of Lord Indra. Buddhism came from India as well. The Thai script is derived from Brahmi/Tamil script. A lot of the words used in everyday Thai come from Sanskrit as well. A half baked documentary to say the least.
Well said sir!
Absolutely, the Thailand writing system is derived from India
Thats true. And if u dig deep in this u will find thats in ancient times there some part in india thats speak thai and even lord buddha can speak thai.

This was super cool, I was adopted so growing up before the internet there wasn't a whole lot of info on Thailand. It's everyday life to some people but to me it means the world to just know something about it. Best part of this history is knowing we aint been colonized
And because you weren't, Thailand is still a 3rd world country, where you can't drink the water or flush paper down the toilet. Your banking system is archaic and your education system is pitiful. At best, Thailand is still in the 1950's and that's being generous.

before watching this vedio i learnt about chakri dynasty where 1st king's name was rama I of siam in which their many things is influenced from hinduism ! like their symbols with meanings and thai people's name is almost same as ancient indian name and thier temples are same as indian and thier mantra are same too as in sanskrit in india . and the name ayuthya as ayodhya .
Hello brother I really appreciated your videos 👏 I'm from Tibet so can you do a small video about Tibet? My biggest requested 🙏🙏🙏 thank you
*Fun fact: They have the best spicy food too.*
No that's India
India be like- hold my Chai
"Best" is a subjective opinion.
India spicy isn't even spicy.
@@niallahorana3377 you probably haven't tried it

อธิบายได้ดีมาก❤
Lots of love from Philippines ❤️
What about the Lanna Kingdom in northern Thailand, Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai between 1259 and 1550 ?
Big thanks for making theses videos. Your a huge help. Videos are really informative.
เยี่ยมมาก🙏🏻
Love Thailand from Turkey
As a Thai person I would call this a near worthless watch. No mention of Lanna for example.
Still a good video, by any mean... it's so hard to find vid like this
Make a video
Interesting the west is full of propaganda so you never know
So you mean "As a Lanna person"?
The author of this video said that he left out a lot of the history. There's only so much you can fit into 10 mins.
05:42 "Phraya Taksin" not Taskin 🙂
Not phaya you idiot phaya mean lord taksin is king not lord.
@@babylonganja3286 I revised the word "Taskin" to "Taksin". Never mention about "Phraya" was right or wrong. However, the word Phraya in this youtube is correct, "Phraya" is a title of the civilian leadership /military position in Siam in the past. Phraya Taksin was in a high rank military before he became a King. Oh, Lord. You should consider yourself an idiot 😆
King after before he is Phaya and I from Thailand.
@@babylonganja3286 He was "Phraya" before take back the country from Burma and became a king.
Great job, even if in these TEN minutes ending with King Rama the TENTH, I wish there had been a word about King Rama the NINTH.
This video helped with my finals, thank you sir, Im subscribed for life, you wouldn’t happen to have New Zealand, and Ethiopia right?
As someone already mentioned, it's actually "Taksin" and not Taskin, also, pronunciation in Ayutthaya is u like the letter u, so not Ayatthaya like you tend to say. Siam did had a treaty with US indeed, but US cannot be considered as a "colonizing" country, unlike the British, and the French, that were respectively in what is now Burma (and India, Bangladesh) for the first one and Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for the latter. Otherwise, that's a good resume of the rich and lesser known history of Thailand.
Ayuttaya is Ayodhya, the capital of Lord Rama.
@@vgasagar the name is coming indeed from that.
I do appreciate this short video on Thailand, though there were some inaccuracies that do irk me a bit, not including pronunciations. I know a lot of this had to be simplified and condensed but some small things make it a bit difficult for me.
What parts were wrong? Please share.
@@thecloud2750 Hi, I had to rewatch the video to remember what points there were. These are not exhaustive but they are:
1) At 5:43, the name of the Thai leader is "Taksin", not "Taskin". It was mispronounced and misspelled the whole way through.
2) I believe he mixed up the reasons for moving the capital from Ayutthaya to Thonburi with that of moving from Thonburi to Bangkok.
First, Thonburi was downriver from Ayutthaya towards the sea, not just across the river (this is also reflected in the animation which should go south, not east). It was Bangkok that was just across the river from Thonburi.
Second, the reasons for moving the capital was mostly for defensive reasons. Thonburi was harder to invade by land and had a port which could house warships. It also had a fort which made it easier to defend. The move to Bangkok was also for similar reasons, though also with more opportunity for expansion.
3)6:13 "Chao" is not a name, it is a title (full name Chao Phraya) similar to lord. He should have referred to him as General Chakri or something along that line. We also never call him King Yodfa but fully "Phra Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke Maharaj". This is certainly a mouthful, so it is more common to call him Rama I (though he admittedly would not have called himself this)
4)7:07 Foreign powers did not "urge" King Mongkut to modernize and become like and equal. It was the king himself who recognized the risks of being surrounded by European powers and he was the one to initiate pushing for reforms. He taught himself English and pushed for the modernization of science, geography, and printing, just to name a few.
5) 7:55 While the British did help advise, a lot of it came from other countries as well. The Germans were mostly involved in the engineering, the French and Japanese in the legal codes, the Danish in the navy, etc. The Belgians and Americans also helped establish and run the Thai foreign ministry for some time.
6) 8:37 This is a misconception among Thais too, but Siam's participation in the war did not directly lead to the abrogation of treaties with Western powers. It took years of negotiation after the war, the first amendment being with the Americans in 1920. The last amendment was in 1926 (the British and French being one of the late ones) and it only came into effect by 1939.
7) 9:50 He didn't say this but the Prime Minister in question, Plaek Phibunsongkhram, was acquitted from that trial as public opinion was still on his side. This is also why he could become Prime Minister again through a coup from 1948-1957, Thailand's longest serving PM.
8)10:00 Everything from here is so rushed and skipped that it is egregiously inaccurate. Aside from the brief restoration of democracy in 1973, he completely skips over 1993 Black May Incident. It's conclusion led to Thailand's longest period of democracy from 1993-2014, the 1997 Asian Economic Crisis happening in the middle of it.
This also means it skips the 2006 Coup which ousted PM Thaksin Shinawatra but more importantly the 2014 Coup that ended Thailand's democratic period.
The video also implied that the Crowning of King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X) brought democracy back to Thailand, which it certainly did not. In fact, the new constitution in 2017 was not only regarded as a move to entrench the current government's power as opposed to restoring democracy, but part of a long list of constitutions that have been revoked and redrafted by various dictators and leaders in power to suit their agenda.
I feel like the last one is a much more serious error as it simplifies to the point of misinforming the audience about what is actually going on in Thailand.
@@Nolaris3 Thank you, I really appreciate this!
@Awatierz amazing response. Thank you for taking the time to explain.
Thank you for your informed comment and truthfull critique. As you said, to imply the Thai people have won democratic gains under the new constitution of Rama X is a gross distortion of the autocratic reality of political and social relations of power in Thailand. I hope to see the monarchy abolished and the military monopoly on state power abolished for good during my lifetime. Thanks again!
I think this is too simplistic. Even as a foreigner who has visited Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Malaysia over 10 times, I can tell that this channel is just tip of the ice berg of Thailand history.
great video. Thailand is my second home. My wife and son are Thai nationality and I'm proud that my son is Thai and Algerian. I live in Thailand and I love it so much 🇹🇭❤️
You forgot to mention indias ties with thailand which was long before the British colonial era.
Yes links with China and India are definitely at the core of Thai culture. Big influence yet they grew a unique culture.
Yes, thai culture is very much connected with indian culture.🙂 I don't know why he ignore it totally.
Yes dna testing on some Thai’s shows Indian genetic as far back as 7 generations ago…. But still have many Thai / Indians that migrated perhaps 3-4 generations ago still can speak Indian and still can cook authentic Indian cuisine and Thai cuisine as well …
This video is50% correct. Before KrungSri-Ayutthaya there were another kingdom called
Ayo-dha-ya which locate at exact at the same place as Ayutthaya mentioned in the video
As a Thai person, I would like to say that Ayothaya is the same as Ayutthaya. But it's a distorted call. Full name: Ayothaya Sriramthep Nakhon.
I love & respect the thai people so much they are so kind! Don't ever change what you are doing!!
Thailand is a great country.
Flashes back to 2014.
Yes sir, until the current prime minister came along 😅🤣
Lots of love to Thailand 🇹🇭 from india 🇮🇳 ♥ 🇹🇭
Very nice summary for being so brief.
Some omissions:
The Mon culture, as others have mentioned.
The Lanna Kingdom, which joined with Ayutthaya to form Siam.
And if you think the 2017 constitution was intended to restore democracy,... well, that's an strange conclusion to draw from the facts.
This is great !!
Great job. I like what I've seen of Thailand in Harald Baldr's videos
Can u make a video about Khmer empire history from Funan to 2022 ? I'll be appreciate it sir 🙂🙂 there're many many of this great empire in Asia since Khmer ancestors.
Thank for imformation.
有難う御座います。
Love Thailand. From 🇻🇳❤️🇹🇭
