Thailand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1867 words)
Thailand's origin is traditionally tied to the short-lived kingdom of Sukhothai founded in 1238, after which the larger kingdom of Ayutthaya was established in the mid-14th century.
Thailand's population is dominated by ethnic Thai and Lao, the latter concentrated in the north-eastern Isan region and making up around one third of the population.
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy and the King is extremely respected and revered.
