	Thailand and the Second World War 1941- 45
		These mandates required that all Thais were to salute the flag, know the national anthem, and use the national language, as opposed to local dialects.
		When the tide turned against Japan, Phibun was forced to resign by the pro-Seri Thai Assembly, thus ending his six-year period as strongman.
		At the end of the war, Phibun was put on trial by the Allies on charges of collaborating with the enemy.

		The Thai Phayap Army invaded British Burma alongside the Japanese, and on January 25, 1942 Thailand declared war on Britain and the United States of America.
		The Thai ambassador to the United States, Seni Pramoj did not deliver his copy of the declaration of war, so although the British reciprocated by declaring war on Thailand and consequently considered it a hostile country, the USA did not.
		As the war dragged on, the Thai population came to resent the Japanese presence.

		In the early 15th century, the Sultanate of Malacca was established under a dynasty founded by Parameswara, a prince from Palembang, who fled from the island Temasek (now Singapore).
		The most notable of these projects are the Petronas Twin Towers (at the time the tallest building in the world), KL International Airport (KLIA), the Sepang F1 Circuit, the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), the Bakun hydroelectric dam and Putrajaya, a new federal administrative capital.
		In the late 1990s, Malaysia was shaken by the Asian financial crisis as well as political unrest caused by the sacking of the deputy prime minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

	Thai Americans
		Thai Americans are anxious that their presence be seen as a benefit, not a burden, to American society.

		Thais are well known for enjoying festivities and holidays, even if they are not part of their culture; Bangkok residents were known to take part in the Christmas and even Bastille Day celebrations of the resident foreign communities.

		The Thai government, under Dr. Pridi Phanomyong, did little to prevent the refugees from sending recruits, arms and medicines to Viet Minh forces during that period of time.32 However, in 1949, the Thai government became concerned about the subversive potential of the refugees and sought to control them.
		The Thai government, officially, has never had diplomatic relations with the Democratic republic of Vietnam, although a Viet Minh information office was allowed to operate in Bangkok from 1946 to 1950 under the auspices of Prime Minister Pridi.
		Thai authorities are also aware of the fact that refugee parents have in the past found it quite easy to obtain Thai birth certificates for their children by having a Thai citizen recognize them as his own.

	History
		The Thai kings of Ayuthaya grew very powerful in the 14th and 15th centuries, taking over U Thong and Lopburi, former Khmer strongholds, and moving cast in their conquests until Angkor was defeated in 1431.
		One result of this acculturation was that the Thai monarch gained more absolute authority during the Ayuthaya period and assumed the title devaraja (god-king; thewaraat in Thai) as opposed to the dhammaraja title used in Sukhothai.
		In 1912 a group of Thai military officers unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the monarchy, the first in a series of 20th century coup attempts that has continued to the present day.

	IN SEARCH OF SERI COURT
		American military personnel left Seri Court forever in 1970 and the war ended in 1975 but now, nearly 34 years later, it was my intention to try to find some of the places I had known in a very different and far more innocent Bangkok.
		Inside the dayroom was the welcome sound of the always smiling Thai bartender putting cold Singha beers on the counter, GI's arguing over card games or embroidering their latest nocturnal adventures on Patpong Road, and, at the back, the incessant whirring sound of three slot machines.
		Former Seri Court Bangkok Warrior Mike York (a fluent speaker in Thai) and his son recently visited Seri Court in July, 2002, and found that it is basically closed and is, apparently, being readied for Korean tour groups.

	Best of Tucson 1995: Best Thai/Malaysian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Adventurous lovers of spicy food should run, not walk, to Seri Melaka for their wonderful "velvet fire" curries; for the more pallid of palates, the tamarind chicken, potstickers and seafood rices are a fine break from a regime of burgers and fries.
		For starters, the Larb Neau is a deliciously piquant mixture of ground beef, lime juice, mint leaves, green onion and Thai spices served on lettuce wedges.
		The fried wonton, which can be made either with meat or vegetarian style, is a mild counterpart and good choice to accompany the far spicier larb.
