    Thailand is the only other place I'd like to live.
    I spent a month there in 85 visiting my Dad and sometimes wish that I would have moved there.
    And really should go back to enjoy the great country that it is.

    Siam in colonial era followed the Japanese model, when Japan got threatening from America. After that Japan started to reform the country to be more westernised.
    That's the same model to Siam in that time.
    King RamaV said the great phrase " We will act like them(Westerners) but we will never be them"

      There is more into that. For example, Thailand actively built friendship and diploma with Soviet. Soviet scared Britain and French away at that time.

    British send they Ambassador, Sir. John Bowring (who remarkable succeeded in Hong Kong from China) for Re-Negotiation to Siam and then after signed the treaty, Siam appointed him to be the Siam's Ambassador to Europe! /// Once again of good examples about "Diplomacy" of Thailand.

    A bit of luck was there: Located between the sphere of influence of two colonial powers helped, as neither power wanted the other to grab it because it was too valuable to both sides. Kind of like what happened to Iran at around the same time.

      Actually the French tried pretty hard. It's a mix of luck of being a natural buffer zone, but some shrewd deplomacy went into making it and keeping it that way, and the fact that Siam was just united and strong enough to defend itself from the faraway European powers unwilling or unable to commit more forces to its conquest.

      Nothing about luck. Do you really think that the British and French couldn’t talk to share the land?. The buffer zone can be small city not the whole country. Btw Siam or now Thailand lost like half of their land to save their ass from the colonizer both France and British

      @@vassanab4243 "the British and French couldn’t talk to share the land?". No they couldnt because the Soviet would kill them both. Thailand was pretty close to the Soviets back then. In short, again, too much headache and that's why British gave up. French tried very hard but failed. And yes, with superior diploma too. Thailand would rather give away a lot of their land to France and British. Laos and Cambodia were born during this time. If France and British didnt come, today Thailand would be much larger and there would be no Cambodia and Laos.

    The word buffer means that there are at least two forces working together that act as buffers.
    In fact, in the past history, colonial countries have invaded territories all over the world. There have been negotiations between the countries that have colonized or collaborated to acquire that territory. Most of them agree to divide the borders...
    Thailand has been targeted by at least two colonial countries that have colonized, which shows that Thailand has more pressure than many colonial countries that have been successfully colonized by a single colonizer.
    But in the case of Thailand, even though there have been interventions from many colonial countries, it has not been successful.
    Therefore, the word buffer is a strategy that Thailand has set up to trick the colonizers so that they cannot use the conspiracy tactics to successfully colonize Thailand as the colonialists have done in recorded world history.
    It is not superstitious at all.

    Siam Ayutthaya ended in 1767 at the ploy of the British espionage and Burma. For that the British betrayed the Burmese and partnered with the babysitted Chakri Dynasty to colonize Burma and divided the land of Ayutthaya into Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaya.
    You need not to colonize a former superpower after you had broke it apart and get to anoint your proxy as the succeeding monarch.
