From the 9th to the 14th centurty, the territory of modern Thailand was part of the Khmer Empire.
The Thai, believed to be driven out of present-day Yunnan and adjacent regions by the
Mongol conquest of Nanzhao (Dali), which was completed in 1253,
migrated southward, establishing the Kingdoms of Sukhothai in 1238,
of Lanna in 1262, of Ayutthaya in 1351.
Sukhothai was absorbed by Ayutthaya in 1583,
Lanna in 1774. The Burmese conquest of Ayutthaya in 1767 marks a turning point in Thai history. Briefly Thonburi served as capital (1767-1782). Siam, as the country was called, recovered. The Portuguese conquest of Malacca (1511), the V.O.C. (Dutch) conquest of Malacca (1641), the E.I.C. (British) conquest of Tenasserim (1824), Lower Burma (1852) and Upper Burma (1886), the French acquisition of Cambodia (1859), Cochinchina (1863), Annam, Tonkin (1885) made the position of Siam ever more precarious. In 1893 France took possession of Laos. in 1907/1909 French Indochina and British Malaya were expanded at the expense of Siam. Siam was able to maintain her independence as a buffer state. In 1932 a coup d'etat marks the begin of a policy of modernization. The country was renamed Thailand. In World War II (1941) Thailand was coerced into becoming a Japanese ally. While Communist guerillas successfully fought the governments in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, in Thailand the armed forces remained in control of the country. In 1954 Thailand was one of the founder nations of SEATO, in 1967 of ASEAN. Ayutthaya . Sukhothai . Sultanate of Pattani . Nakhon Si Thammarat (Ligor) . Phuket (Junk Ceylon) .
