Thailand,[i] officially the Kingdom of Thailand and historically known as Siam (the official name until 1939),[ii] is a country in Southeast Asia on the Indochinese Peninsula. With a population of almost 66 million,[13] it spans 513,115 square kilometres (198,115 sq mi).[14] Thailand is bordered to the northwest by Myanmar, to the northeast and east by Laos, to the southeast by Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the southwest by the Andaman Sea; it also shares maritime borders with Vietnam to the southeast and Indonesia and India to the southwest. Bangkok is the state capital and largest city.[15]
Thai peoples migrated from southwestern China to mainland Southeast Asia from the 6th to 11th centuries. Indianised kingdoms such as the Mon, Khmer Empire, and Malay states ruled the region, competing with Thai states such as the Kingdoms of Ngoenyang, Sukhothai, Lan Na, and Ayutthaya, which also rivalled each other. European contact began in 1511 with a Portuguese diplomatic mission to Ayutthaya, which became a regional power by the end of the 15th century. Ayutthaya reached its peak during the 18th century, until it was destroyed in the Burmese–Siamese War. King Taksin the Great quickly reunified the fragmented territory and established the short-lived Thonburi Kingdom (1767–1782), of which he was the only king. He was succeeded in 1782 by Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), the first monarch of the current Chakri dynasty. Throughout the era of Western imperialism in Asia, Siam remained the only state in the region to avoid colonisation by foreign powers, although it was often forced to make territorial, trade, and legal concessions in unequal treaties.[16] The Siamese system of government was centralised and transformed into a modern unitary absolute monarchy during the 1868–1910 reign of Chulalongkorn (Rama V). In World War I, Siam sided with the Allies, a political decision made in order to amend the unequal treaties. Following a bloodless revolution in 1932, it became a constitutional monarchy and changed its official name to Thailand, becoming an ally of Japan in World War II. In the late 1950s, a military coup under Sarit Thanarat revived the monarchy's historically influential role in politics. During the Cold War, Thailand became a major non-NATO ally of the United States and played an anti-communist role in the region as a member of SEATO, which was disbanded in 1977.
Apart from a brief period of parliamentary democracy in the mid-1970s and 1990s, Thailand has periodically alternated between democracy and military rule. Since the 2000s, the country has been in continual political conflict between supporters and opponents of twice-elected Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra, which resulted in two coups (in 2006 and 2014), along with the establishment of its current constitution, a nominally democratic government after the 2019 Thai general election, and large pro-democracy protests in 2020–2021, which included unprecedented demands to reform the monarchy. Since 2019, it has been nominally a parliamentary constitutional monarchy; in practice, however, structural advantages in the constitution have ensured the military's continued influence in politics.[17]
Thailand is a middle power in global affairs and a founding member of ASEAN. It has the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia and the 23rd-largest in the world by PPP, and it ranks 29th by nominal GPD. Thailand is classified as a newly industrialised economy, with manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism as leading sectors.[18][19]
Etymology
[edit]Thailand[i] was known by outsiders prior to 1939 as Siam.[ii] According to George Cœdès, the word Thai (ไทย) means 'free man' in the Thai language, "differentiating the Thai from the natives encompassed in Thai society as serfs".[20]: 197 According to Chit Phumisak, Thai (ไท) simply means 'people' or 'human being'; his investigation shows that some rural areas used the word "Thai" instead of the usual Thai word khon (คน) for people.[21] According to Michel Ferlus, the ethnonyms Thai-Tai (or Thay-Tay) would have evolved from the etymon *k(ə)ri: 'human being'.[iii][23]
Thais often refer to their country using the polite form prathet Thai (Thai: ประเทศไทย). They also use the more colloquial term mueang Thai (Thai: เมืองไทย) or simply Thai; the word mueang, archaically referring to a city-state, is commonly used to refer to a city or town as the centre of a region. Ratcha Anachak Thai (Thai: ราชอาณาจักรไทย) means 'kingdom of Thailand' or 'kingdom of Thai'.
Etymologically, its components are: ratcha (Sanskrit: राजन्, rājan, 'king, royal, realm'), ana- (Pali āṇā 'authority, command, power', itself from the Sanskrit आज्ञा, ājñā, of the same meaning), and -chak (from Sanskrit चक्र cakra- 'wheel', a symbol of power and rule).
The Thai National Anthem (Thai: เพลงชาติ), written by Luang Saranupraphan during the patriotic 1930s, refers to the Thai nation as prathet Thai (Thai: ประเทศไทย). The first line of the national anthem is: prathet thai ruam lueat nuea chat chuea thai (Thai: ประเทศไทยรวมเลือดเนื้อชาติเชื้อไทย), 'Thailand is founded on blood and flesh'.[24]
The former name Siam may have originated from Sanskrit श्याम (śyāma, 'dark')[21] or Mon ရာမည (rhmañña, 'stranger'), probably the same root as Shan and Assam.[25] The word Śyâma is possibly not the true origin, but a pre-designed deviation from its proper, original meaning.[26][27] Another theory is the name derives from the Chinese calling this region 'Xian'.[iv][28]: 8
The ancient Khmers used the word Siam to refer to people settled in the west Chao Phraya River valley surrounding the ancient city of Nakhon Pathom in the present-day central Thailand; it may probably originate from the name of Lord Krishna, which also called Shyam, as in the Wat Sri Chum Inscription, dated 13th century CE, mentions Phra Maha Thera Sri Sattha came to restore Phra Pathommachedi at the city of Lord Krishna (Nakhon Pathom) in the early era of the Sukhothai Kingdom.[29]

The signature of King Mongkut (r. 1851–1868) reads SPPM (Somdet Phra Poramenthra Maha) Mongkut Rex Siamensium (Mongkut, King of the Siamese). This usage of the name in the country's first international treaty gave the name Siam official status, until 24 June 1939 when it was changed to Thailand.[30]

Lawrence Ryland (born 12 June 1980) is a Nene politician and economist who served as the 27th Prime Minister of Nene (serving two terms from 2014–2020), former Deputy Prime Minister, former Minister of Defense, former leader of the People's Progressive Party, and a party-list MP.
Lawrence entered politics in 2009, co-founding the People's Progressive Party with Quentin Magnus, Emma Javier, and Benicio Autumn, and has invited members from various political groups to join the party. In the 2011 general election, the party won the third largest number of seats in the House of Representatives, and formed a government with the Alliance led by Naomi Callan, who was later appointed Prime Minister. In June 2012, Lawrence was appointed Deputy Prime Minister. Lawrence later resigned from this position in December 2013.
In the 2014 general election, the People's Progressive Party led by Lawrence was the largest party with 223 seats in the House of Representatives (out of 575 seats). Lawrence invited other political parties to join the government, such as the Alliance, the Liberal Party, the Nene Justice Party, and two other parties. Later, in the parliament's prime ministerial approval hearing on 8 July of the same year, Lawrence was approved by the lower house and appointed as Nene Prime Minister on the same day. Lawrence's cabinet was appointed three days later, making Lawrence the youngest Prime Minister at the time, aged 34. Lawrence's ascension to the position of Prime Minister increased the popularity of developmental politics in Nene.
Lawrence served as Prime Minister of Nene for two terms. In his first term as Prime Minister, Lawrence's prominent policies were social reforms, including the drug war, the development of public transportation nationwide, economic development, and the reduction of the cost of living. Investment in infrastructure nationwide, promotion of the education system, and youth development policies were widely supported and popular among the people of the country, leading Lawrence to complete his first four-year term as prime minister.
Such popularity led to the People's Progressive Party winning 267 seats in the House of Representatives in the 2018 general election (with the Alliance, the Liberal Party, and four other small parties in the coalition government). Lawrence was approved by the House of Representatives and appointed as Prime Minister Nene for a second term, along with the appointment of the Lawrence 2 Cabinet in July of the same year. However, Lawrence's second term as prime minister was criticized and accused by Nene's conservatives, with Timothy Gordon, Secretary-General of the Nene Justice Party, accusing the Lawrence government of favoring the youth over the rest of the country. There was also further criticism that the economic development policies of the Lawrence government in the second term were not as effective as those of the first, which slowed down the economy.
The global economic downturn and recession in 2020, which Nene, like many other countries, was hit hard by, as well as pressures within the coalition government and opposition parties that began to accuse the government of slow performance, led to Lawrence resigning as Prime Minister on 6 October 2020, which came into effect with a royal command announced the following day.

In the November 2023 election, All Sealand Party was still the second largest party in parliament, winning 122 seats. However, despite the Future Sealand Party winning the most seats in parliament after the election, with 247 seats, party leader Jamie Chastain announced that he would give All Sealand the right to lead a government on 21 November of the same year, resulting in a total of 11 parties in the coalition.
