 History of Thailand - Biocrawler
The history of Thailand begins with the migration of the Thais into what is now Thailand during the first millennium.
Its independent history ended in 1558, when it fell to the Burmese; thereafter it was dominated by Burma and Ayutthaya in turn before falling to the army of the Siamese King Taksin in 1775.
Thailand was not occupied by the Allies, but it was forced to return the territory it had gained to the British and the French.

 Buddhist Studies: Theravada Buddhism: Thailand
The Mons of southern Burma adopted Theravada Buddhism at an early date and thereafter influenced the religious history of Thailand by invading the central valley of the Menam Chao Phya and setting up the Kingdom of Dvaravati which lasted from the third to the seventh centuries.
Theravada Buddhism in Thailand was further strengthened after King Anawrahta of Burma captured Thanton in 1057 A.D. From there he carried to his capital at Pagan a number of Theravadin monks together with the Pali canon, and being an ardent Theravadin he spread his religion along with his conquests in northern Thailand.
The history of Thailand begins with the rise of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the thirteenth century, a State whose people were one in blood and language with the present Thais.

 Thailand - EARLY HISTORY
The dense forests of the Chao Phraya Valley in the central part of Thailand and the Malay Peninsula in the south produced such an abundance of food that for a long time there was no need to move beyond a hunting-and- gathering economy.
In contrast, rice cultivation appeared early in the highlands of the far north and hastened the development of a more communal social and political organization.
The differences in religion, language, and ethnic origin caused strains in social and political relations between the central government and the southern provinces into the late twentieth century.
