Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand (or “Land of the Free”), is a country in Southeast Asia. The country was
an absolute monarchy from 1782 until 1932, when rebels seized power in a coup and established a constitutional
monarchy. Since then, Thailand has come under the rule of many governments, both civil and military. The country was
known as Siam until 1939 (when it was renamed Thailand), and again for a few years in the late 1940s. In 1949 the name
Thailand was adopted a second time.
