Thailand’s rich history spans countless centuries. Once known as Siam, this country has enjoyed powerful kingdoms and periods of prosperity. Thailand is also unique. Positioned between the British to the west and the French to the east, Siam was the only Southeast Asian country that retained its independence from colonial rule. Yet, the country has also been influenced by its neighbors, including China and India.
