	History of Thailand since 1973 - Definition, explanation
		The revolution of 1973 inaugurated a brief, unstable period of democracy, with military rule being reimposed after a coup in 1976.
		The arrival of communist regimes on Thailand’s borders, the abolition of the 600-year-old Lao monarchy, and the arrival of a flood of refugees from Laos and Cambodia, turned public opinion in Thailand back to the right, and conservatives did much better in the 1976 elections than they had done in 1975.
		However, the Thailand of 1992 was not the Siam of 1932.

	History of South East Asia
		Thailand stands at the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, yet its modern history differs strikingly from the turbulent history of the rest of the region.
		Thailand does harbour minorities, but it is well on the way to assimilating its most significant minority, the Chinese.

	History of Thailand
		Thailand prospered under military rule of prime minister Prem Tinsunalonda in the 1980's, with the start of a booming economy.
		Thai history concentrates on the history of the Thai people, less on the history of people living in the geographical area of present day Thailand.
		Simplified, Thai history can be divided in a pre-Sukhothai and a post-Sukhothai period, the Sukhothai period being regarded as the first true Thai kingdom.

	The making of oral history in Thailand - 65th IFLA Council and General Conference - Conference Programme and Proceedings
		Interest in history as serious academic subject as well as an intellectual tool in the understanding of social change and political development was at its height in the early 1970's and seemed to stimulate the making of oral history.
		The National Archives in Thailand was officially established to collect official documents generated in the course of their routine duties by all the bureaucratic agencies in the country.
		Oral history in Thailand is used in conjunction with the general techniques of historical research rather than to be conducted autonomously.

		Since Sakorn is convinced that there can be no true development unless it is based on spirituality, in addition to the projects in economic development he has taught the villagers Dhamma -- the teachings of the Buddha -- and meditation.

	History of Laos
		During the Vietnam War, Laos was effectively partitioned into four spheres of influence: the Chinese in the north, the Vietnamese along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in the east, the Thais in western areas controlled by the US-backed Royal Lao Government, and the Khmer Rouge operating from parts of the south.
		This air assault was shrouded in secrecy, since under the terms of the Geneva Accord of 1962 no foreign personnel were supposed to operate on Laotian territory.
		In 1973, as the US began its strategic withdrawal from Vietnam, the Pathet Lao gained the upper hand, controlling most of the country’s provinces.

		To its east lie Laos and Cambodia; to its south, the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia; and to its west, the Andaman Sea and Myanmar.
		The history of Thailand begins with the migration of the Thais from their ancestral home in southern China into mainland southeast Asia around the 10th century AD.
		The two main reasons for this is that Thailand had a long succession of very able rulers in the 1800s and that it was able to exploit the rivalry and tension between the French and the British.

	Thailand - FOREIGN AFFAIRS
		Thailand's security ties with the United States-- the pillar of Bangkok's foreign relations for nearly three decades--were downplayed as part of accentuating a policy of friendship with all nations.
		As Thailand and Japan celebrated the centennial of their relationship in 1987, Japan continued to be Thailand's principal trading partner and largest foreign investor.
		Thailand's preferred solution was for Japan to open its market to Thai products, increase its aid and loans to Thailand, set up export-oriented industries in Thailand, and enhance economic cooperation through more active transfers of technology.

		Road construction was hardly conceived since Samui's mountainous area would require heavy construction machines to carry out the work but the transportation of such equipment to the island was impossible.
		However, in 1967 the government was asked by a headman of the island to give a hand to the island's development.
		Realizing the charms of Ko Samui and its high potential to be a successful tourist destination, the Tourism Authority of Thailand ordered an exploration of the island in 1980 and made a plan to develop and promote the tourism on the island.

		Since 1985, its value has been determined by the financial markets, and one of its strongest components has been the very high interest rate in New Zealand, which right now is the highest among the major currencies at 7.25 %.
