    Extractions: Thailand - History Thai history is a source of understandable pride to its people, as the country was neither colonised, nor torn apart by civil war like Indochina. It is also home to one of the world's oldest civilisations - Ban Chiang. From the 6th to the 13th centuries Thailand was occupied by various peoples and kingdoms - the Khoms, Mons, Khmers and the kingdom of Srivijaya (which controlled most of the Malay Peninsular and many Indonesian islands between the 8th and 13th centuries). The T'ai came south from China following river valleys and founded Lan Na and eventually Sukhothai. Some went east to what is now Laos and northern Vietnam. After the fall of Sukhothai in 1365, power was transferred to the kingdom of Ayutthaya, founded by U-Thong in 1350. There followed 400 magnificent years as the kingdom became one of the most awe-inspiring in the East. A flowering of international relations occurred here in the 17th century, particularly with the Dutch, British and French. This period was marked with war, usually against the old enemy, Burma, who finally sacked and destroyed the city of Ayutthaya in 1767. Taksin, a young general, arose during the fall of Ayutthaya to lead the people, moving the capital to Thon Buri, where he ruled until 1782. Although much of Cambodia, Laos, and northern Thailand were brought under Thai control during his reign, he eventually exhibited signs of madness and was respectfully executed in a velvet sack.

[Change image] [Upload image] Southeast Asia has been inhabited for more than half a million years. Recent archaeological studies suggest that by 4000 B.C. communities in what is now Thailand had emerged as centers of early bronze metallurgy. This development along with the cultivation of wet rice provided the impetus for social and political organization. Research suggests that these innovations may actually have been transmitted from there to the rest of Asia including to China. The Thai are related linguistically to groups originating in southern China. Migrations from southern China to Southeast Asia may have occurred in the 6th and 7th centuries. Malay Mon and Khmer civilizations flourished in the region prior to the arrival of the ethnic Thai. Thais date the founding of their nation to the 13th century. According to tradition in 1238 Thai chieftains overthrew their Khmer overlords at Sukhothai and established a Thai kingdom. After its decline a new Thai kingdom emerged in 1350 on the Chao Praya River. The first ruler of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya King Rama Thibodi made two important contributions to Thai history: the establishment and promotion of Theravada Buddhism as the official religion (to differentiate his kingdom from the neighboring Hindu kingdom of Angkor) and the compilation of the Dharmashastra a legal code based on Hindu sources and traditional Thai custom. The Dharmashastra remained a tool of Thai law until late in the 19th century. Beginning with the Portuguese in the 16th century Ayutthaya had some contact with the West but until the 1800s its relations with neighboring nations as well as with India and China were of primary importance.

    Extractions: Search For: Asia thailand Travel Guide ... People THAILAND HISTORY Archaeological discoveries around the northeast hamlet of Ban Chiang suggest that the world's oldest Bronze Age civilisation was flourishing in Thailand some 5,600 years ago. Successive waves of immigrants, including Mons, Khmers and Thais, gradually entered the land mass now known as Thailand, most slowly travelling along fertile river valleys from southern China. By the 11 th and 12th centuries, Khmers ruled much of the area from Angkor. By the early 1 200s, Thais had established small northern city states in Lanna, Phayao and Sukhothai. In 1238, two Thai chieftains rebelled against Khmer suzerainty and established the first truly independent Thai kingdom in Sukhothai (literally, "Dawn of Happiness"). Sukhothai saw the Thais' gradual expansion throughout the entire Chao Phraya River basin, the establishment of Theravacla Buddhism as the paramount Thai religion, the creation of the Thai alphabet and the first expression of nascent Thai art forms, including painting, sculpture, architecture and literature. Sukhothai declined during the 1300s and eventually became a vassal state of Ayutthaya, a dynamic young kingdom further south in the Chao Phraya River valley. Founded in 1350, Ayutthaya remained the Thai capital until 1767 when it was destroyed by Burmese invaders.
