Thailand previously known as Siam, and formally the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country in Southeast Asia. It is situated at the focal point of the Indochinese Peninsula, traversing 513,120 square kilometers (198,120 sq mi), with a populace of more than 66 million individuals.

Bangkok is the country's capital and biggest city. Ostensibly, Thailand is an established government and parliamentary majority rules system; be that as it may, in ongoing history, its administration has encountered various overthrows and times of military fascisms. 

Tai people groups relocated from southwestern China to territory Southeast Asia from the eleventh century; the most seasoned known notice of their essence in the district by the exonym Siamese dates to the twelfth century. Different Indianised realms like the Mon realms, Khmer Empire and Malay states governed the area, contending with Thai states like the Kingdoms of Ngoenyang, Sukhothai, Lan Na and Ayutthaya, which equaled one another. Recorded European contact started in 1511 with a Portuguese political mission to Ayutthaya, which turned into a local force before the finish of the fifteenth century. Ayutthaya arrived at its top during cosmopolitan Narai's rule, slowly declining from that point until being at last obliterated in the 1767 Burmese–Siamese War. Taksin immediately reunified the divided domain and set up the brief Thonburi Kingdom. He was prevailing in 1782 by Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, the principal ruler of the current Chakri tradition. 

All through the time of Western dominion in Asia, Siam stayed the lone country in the locale to try not to be colonized by unfamiliar forces, despite the fact that it was frequently compelled to surrender a both area and exchange concessions inconsistent deals. The Siamese arrangement of government was unified and changed into a cutting edge unitary supreme government in the rule of Chulalongkorn. In World War I, Siam favored the partners, a political choice to change the inconsistent settlements. Following a bloodless unrest in 1932, it turned into a sacred government and changed its authority name to Thailand, which was a satellite of Japan in World War II. In the last part of the 1950s, a tactical upset under Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat resuscitated the government's verifiably persuasive job in legislative issues. Thailand turned into a significant partner of the United States, and assumed an enemy of socialist part in the locale as an individual from the bombed SEATO that was intended to impede further socialist increases in Southeast Asia. Aside from a concise time of parliamentary majority rules system during the 1970s, Thailand has intermittently switched back and forth among popular government and military standard. Since the 2000s, It has been trapped in an unpleasant political struggle among allies and adversaries of Thaksin Shinawatra, which finished in two upsets, most as of late in 2014 and the foundation of its current and twentieth constitution and appearances the continuous 2020 Thai fights.
