History of Thailand

                        Where Thai come from that make Thai culture appear at this moment. Long long time ago, there are the people live at Altai mountain in The South of China .They call themselves Tai group. The word "Tai"  in their language means freedom. With aggression  of other group they are necessary to migrate down and down and divide themselves 2 groups one is Thai yai ( big Tai) and Thai noi (small Tai).After the migration,  both of them accept to settle down in South East Asia until now. And then Thai yai and Thai noi divide themselves to many groups and establish their own  realms in this new land such as Lan chang realm , Trawadee realm , Sukothai realm and so on which this page will tell u just the important realms are the origin of Thailand then. At this moment, people who come from realms of Thai yai become to Burma and realms of  Thai noi become to Thailand and Lao. So u can see culture and language of Thailand like Lao more than Burma and  u will find some of Thai people who still live in China  ,if u have been in Sipsongpanna village, Yunan , China.

Sukothai era  <su1 ko4 thai>

Sukothai realm is established in  around Christian era 1250~1360. The capital city of this era stay at Sukkothai province .The first king is Pokun Ramkamheang who invents Thai language characteristic by mix Kom lang. < Kom = Combodia empire in the past >and Bali & Sansakit lang. which come from india to improve for Thai lang.In that time, just only the people who stay in high class that can write because the low class don't know means no one teach the writting to them.

Ayuttaya era <a yut2 ta ya> 

Ayuttaya realm is established in  around Christian era 1450~1767.The capital city stay at Ayuttaya province

Thonburee era <thon bu ree>

Before Ayuttaya will be covered by Burma at 1767 , Praya Tak sees that Ayuttaya can't protect itself from Burma anymore with the king in that time is Prajao E-ka- tod-sa-rod who is the weak and alcoholic king.So he decides to lead around 500 soilders trespass the Burmese army ,which still besiege Ayuttaya long time, to the East in 1766 and then gathers mount people to fight with Burmar.After he dispels Burmese army from Thailand.He thinks Burmese know all important areas of Ayutaya ,so ayutaya is not proper to be the capital city anymore.He moves to Thonburi and appoints it to become the capital city.His dead is so sad because he is charged that he is crazy from he must fight with enemy all his era that make he is killed by hit him with the wood till die.But every Thai still confuse in his dead like me.If he is crazy why we must kill him? it is not necessary to kill.the reason which may be possible and many one think about it that is he is not real Thai mean he is chinese person who come from china .So if he can cover Thailand,it like Thailand belong to other country person

Rattanagosin era <rat3 ta na go sin4>

Rattanagosin realm is established since Christian era 1782 until now.The capital city stay at Bangkok province< all>.After finish Prajao Taksin <in Thonburi era>, Pra-bat-som-ded-Pra-put-ta-yod-fa-ju-la-lok < the first king of Rattanakosin era >goes to be king continue and move the capital city from Thonburi side to Pranakon side .And then he establishes Rattanakosin era in 1782.In the beginning, the capital is just Pranakon side but when the city grow up more than keep in Pranakon side it makes the capital city now is both Pranakon and Thonburi side in named Bangkok< Bangkok in Thai lang. is groong-tep which means the city of angel >.In this era until now, we have the king nine persons

The first king , Pra-bat-som-ded-Pra-put-ta-yod-fa-ju-la-lok.
The ninth king , Pra-bat-som-ded-pra-jao-yoo-hua-Pu-mi-phol-a-dul-ya-ded who u know in name " Bu-mi-bhol " which is not correct reading depend on Thai word that make me don't understand who use this name at first .And addition to this word , many other words of Thai lang that come from Bali & Sansakit will change in reading like Bali lang which it not correct and u will confuse if u use them in Thailand
