One of the more thoroughly researched and non bias videos on UA-cam. Besides some mispronunciations here and there, almost all of the information is correct. I will try to list some mistakes and suggestions on top of my head. 1. Lavo has been a city of Mon people (and later Khmer) long before Sukhothai or Ayutthaya, not just from the 14th cent. onward. After the rise of Ayutthaya, Lavo lost some significance but later was restored in the reign of King Narai in the 17th cent. as the ”2nd” capital. But after that, it was relegated again to just another city. 2. Ayuthaya has incorporated both Buddhism and Hinduism since the early period and has developed its culture based on these 2 religions on top of the old Animistic ritual core. not just Buddhism or Hinduism as stated in the video. All of these beliefs can still be seen in modern-day Thailand. 3. It is still debatable that Sukhothai is the first kingdom of the Tai people in the area of what is known as Thailand nowadays because there were the kingdom of Ngoenyang and Singhanavati situated in the far north of Thailand since the 7th century. I do agree that Sukhothai's achievement of rebelling from the Khmer empire was quite remarkable and has settled the debate about its independence but I still think those northern kingdoms were also quite autonomous and can be considered real “kingdoms”. 4. The king was obviously named “Taksin” not Taskin😅 5. The word Tai or Thai actually means the same thing in Thai language (ไท -> ไทย). I believe the ย was added to this word first time in the Ayuthaya according to the known documents. (Still, both spellings were used interchangeably). By adding ย it gave a little quirk of Sanskrit name and had a more refined look compared to just plain ไท. Actually, when Field Marshall Phibun suggested the word ไท or ไทย to be the new official name replacing Siam. The voting was held and ไท lost to ไทย by a small margin and then Thailand became Thailand officially.
#1 Thai does Not mean Free, after that all of what he said is comical. Thaksin was Chinese yes but Thongduang or Rama1 was Mon. If your going to ethnically identify one you should ethnically identify the guy that killed the other one
Tai is a Lao and Zhuang Lao word that means Place or location, it was adopted by the Siamese to mean the ethnic group or to mean people to “free…” basically just a nationalist creation
Kmon and Khmer (Cambodia ) was the first inhabitant of its region. Khmer Empire Civilization were larger than the Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire) that existed around the same time . Thailand were from South China later Siam (Thailand ) migrated from China and moved toward Khmer Empire.
Great empire or impossible. Cambodia has almost the lowest education in the world. There is no way that they were the first people in this region in the past. If so, they must have enough knowledge to maintain it. Look at you, look at your country now. You can fool others but you can't fool yourself. And Cambodians don't have the same DNA as people in ASEAN. I have done enough research.
This western reporter he just guess,if you want to know the real history you have to study histories around thailand 's neighbors countries.china ,laos,combodia that will be clear.This may be learn from 1800 not far back to ancient .
Why are there so support China! I don't know why are they so proud of China! if all of them it from that side that you say? Ps. Only question in my mind Thai natives are restless gone. now that country is almost 80-90% All of them were half-Asians left. Native = Never
Thai dynasty is Chakri Rattanakosin is the capital name just like Ayuttaya Bangkok is Krungthep Mahanakorn Amon Rattanakosin Ayuttaya was Krungthep Taravade Sri Ayuttaya
This is wrong information. Although The migration came in from china but around that time there is also other migration of other natives within the region of Southeast Asia who finally joined in with the local habitant who was already there well before the movement. This part of information is now confirmed by the archaeologists team from all over the world on site studies that revealing more and more as they dig up and discovered cities and kingdoms some of which is much older than the Khmer. Particularly within the last 10-15 years in scientific research evidences which provided many proven results about the Thai older ancestral group going back as far as between 4000-6000 years. The latest discovery found which recently became UNESCO world heritage site in 2023 under taravadee period that is 1800-2200 years old and its known as the Sri-thape Kingdom. So Thai are not all Chinese. Thai is the group of people coming together settling in one area around the central plain under the name of free people of the land or land of the free before it became a town, city then kingdom and finally empire. This is because around that time there were so many war lord and tribes dotted all over from north to south of the area or country trying to overtake & overthrow the most precious resources which is peoples. DNA tests collection is a good way to determine who the Thai really are. The results shown only small Chinese DNA to that of India and others of the older bloodlines. The Thai need to stop believing old biased history that written up by others western. It is the right time to re write history using more facts from proven science along with the historical relevant evidences kept in records from passerby who doesn’t just came from European continent. Otherwise, everyone will keep saying that Thai is Chinese. This is the same belief about the homo sapients, as science gets better the advancement already shown that they weren’t the only developed first form of human form Africa. In fact Southeast Asia have your own too. Do search it up, it is very interesting.
There is no khom but only Khmer, thais people called Khmer was Khmer Khrom (Khrom means lower) that is mean Khmer is at south because thai word there is no R sound and they keep calling Khmer Khom and in short is Khom but that is not the real name of Khmer. khmer is only Khmer just like Siam, Khmer people not call Siam but they call Seam instead.
Source Material must be Wikipedia Thai does not mean free, Tai is a reference to a place or location. The word for Free is Issara. No Thai person has ever used the word Thai to mean free in any sentence in history.
Thaksin was Chinese and Rama1 was Mon. Funny how most Wikipedia historians skipped the second part, Thaksin going insane has more to do with legitimizing the usurper’s then actual history.
Is your country weak? Thai-Siam battles with the Navy, Air Force and Army against France to compete for territories. No other country has waged a war like this. because they were slaves Are you jealous of Thailand? 😂
Thailand had been colonized many times, well their kingdoms. Thailand is a reunion of all Tai-Siamese and some Mon kingdoms merged together. Those small kingdoms were colonized by Cambodia and Burma many times. The first Thai kingdom (Sukhothai) was a Cambodian province that gained independence. Not just that but the Toungoo Empire (modern day Burma/Myanmar) once ruled over the whole of Siam (a Tai-Siamese kingdom).
We were to be slaves once beacause we lost the war but thais is always thieves forever because you are living in others’ house and land and keep stealing and claim to be your owns.

We call Phra chao Tak or taksin, Sin ( nickname) or Phraya Thonburi ( title )

That was remarkable in the ancient history of Thailand . It is very interesting to learn about the country I was born into.
Kmon and Khmer (Cambodia ) was the first inhabitant of its region. Khmer Empire Civilization were larger than the Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire) that existed around the same time . Thailand were from South China later Siam (Thailand ) migrated from China and moved toward Khmer Empire.

The Indian influence on Thailand is deeper and lasting. All their kings bore the name Rama!
Ofc because buddha and Hindu are from india influence to Southeast asia
Now we have ramayana story in thai art including buddhism architecture
Yes in our country have many influences by India cuz Buddhism, like Songkran festival, Loykratong festival and some of literature like Ramayana, etc.
This western reporter he just guess,if you want to know the real history you have to study histories around thailand 's neighbors countries.china ,laos,combodia that will be clear.This may be learn from 1800 not far back to ancient .
Would also be interesting to see Cambodia history

Where is the first Thai King came from?
Bangkok was the original name for Krungthep, Rattanakosin is the name of the dynasty

Rattanakosin is the capital name just like Ayuttaya
Bangkok is Krungthep Mahanakorn Amon Rattanakosin
Ayuttaya was Krungthep Taravade Sri Ayuttaya
