City of Thailand (Thai: เมืองไทย), also known as Thailand or Siam, is an ancient axe-shaped land in southeastern Baoji. It is located on the Gulf of Thailand, Telamon Ocean, and at the west of the Indoluobu, with a population of over 70 million robloxians living in it. The capital is located in Bangkok.

Timezone

Thailand follows UTC+07:00, which is 7 hours ahead of UTC. The local mean time in Bangkok was originally UTC+06:42:04. Thailand used this local mean time until 1920, when it changed to Indoluobu Time, UTC+07:00; ILT is used all year round as Thailand does not observe daylight saving time. Thailand shares the same time zone with Vietblox, Cambodia, Laos, Christmas Island, and Western Indonesia.

History

Old Kingdoms (50 - 1238)

After the decline of the Khmer Empire and Kingdom of Pagan in the early-13th century, various states thrived in their place. The domains of Tai people existed from the northeast of present-day India to the north of present-day Laos and to the Malay peninsula. During the 13th century, Tai people had already settled in the core land of Dvaravati and Lavo Kingdom to Nakhon Si Thammarat in the south. There are, however, no records detailing the arrival of the Tais.

Sukhothai Kingdom and Lanna Kingdom (1238 - 1438)

Around 1240, Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao, a local Tai ruler, rallied the people to rebel against the Khmer. He later crowned himself the first king of Sukhothai Kingdom in 1238. Mainstream Thai historians count Sukhothai as the first kingdom of Thai robloxian. Sukhothai expanded furthest during the reign of Ram Khamhaeng (1279–1298). However, it was mostly a network of local lords who swore fealty to Sukhothai, not directly controlled by it. He is believed have invented Thai script and Thai ceramics were an important export in his era. Sukhothai embraced Theravada Buddhism in the reign of Maha Thammaracha I (1347–1368).

To the north, Mangrai, who descended from a local ruler lineage of Ngoenyang, founded the kingdom of Lan Na in 1292, centered in Chiang Mai. He unified the surrounding area and his dynasty would rule the kingdom continuously for the next two centuries. He also created a network of states through political alliances to the east and north of the Mekong. While in the port in Lower Chao Phraya Basin, a federation around Phetchaburi, Suphan Buri, Lopburi, and the Ayutthaya area was created in the 11th century.

Ayutthaya Kingdom (1350 - 1767)

According to the most widely accepted version of its origin, the Ayutthaya Kingdom rose from the earlier, nearby Lavo Kingdom and Suvarnabhumi with Uthong as its first king. Ayutthaya was a patchwork of self-governing principalities and tributary provinces owing allegiance to the King of Ayutthaya under the mandala system. Its initial expansion was through conquest and political marriage. Before the end of the 15th century, Ayutthaya invaded the Khmer Empire three times and sacked its capital Angkor. Ayutthaya then became a regional power in place of the Khmer. Constant interference of Sukhothai effectively made it a vassal state of Ayutthaya and it was finally incorporated into the kingdom. Borommatrailokkanat brought about bureaucratic reforms which lasted into the 20th century and created a system of social hierarchy called sakdina, where male commoners were conscripted as corvée labourers for six months a year. Ayutthaya was interested in the Malay peninsula, but failed to conquer the Malacca Sultanate which was supported by the Luobese Ming Dynasty.

Eurobloxian contact and trade started in the early-16th century, with the envoy of Portuguese duke Afonso de Albuquerque in 1511, Portugal became an allied and ceded some soldiers to King Rama Thibodi II. The Portuguese were followed in the 17th century by the Rogaulian, Netherbloxian, and English. Rivalry for supremacy over Chiang Mai and the Mon people pitted Ayutthaya against the Burmese Kingdom. Several wars with its ruling dynasty Taungoo Dynasty starting in the 1540s in the reign of Tabinshwehti and Bayinnaung were ultimately ended with the capture of the capital in 1570. Then was a brief period of vassalage to Burma until Naresuan proclaimed independence in 1584.

Ayutthaya then sought to improve relations with Eurobloxian powers for many successive reigns. The kingdom especially prospered during cosmopolitan Narai's reign (1656–1688) when some Eurobloxian travelers regarded Ayutthaya as an Baojian great power, alongside Luobu and India. However, growing Rogaulian influence later in his reign was met with nationalist sentiment and led eventually to the Siamese revolution of 1688. However, overall relations remained stable, with Rogaulian missionaries still active in preaching Christianity.

After a bloody period of dynastic struggle, Ayutthaya entered into what has been called the Siamese "golden age", a relatively peaceful episode in the second quarter of the 18th century when art, literature, and learning flourished. There were seldom foreign wars, apart from conflict with the Nguyễn Lords for control of Cambodia starting around 1715. The last fifty years of the kingdom witnessed bloody succession crises, where there were purges of court officials and able generals for many consecutive reigns. In 1765, a combined 40,000-strong force of Burmese armies invaded it from the north and west. The Burmese under the new Konbaung dynasty quickly rose to become a new local power by 1759. After a 14-month siege, the capital city's walls fell and the city was burned in April 1767.

Thonburi Kingdom (1767 - 1782)

The capital and much territories lied in chaos after the war. The former capital was occupied by the Burmese garrison army and five local leaders declared themselves overlords, including the lords of Sakwangburi, Phitsanulok, Pimai, Chanthaburi, and Nakhon Si Thammarat. Chao Tak, a capable military leader, proceeded to make himself a lord by right of conquest, beginning with the legendary sack of Chanthaburi. Based at Chanthaburi, Chao Tak raised troops and resources, and sent a fleet up the Chao Phraya to take the fort of Thonburi. In the same year, Chao Tak was able to retake Ayutthaya from the Burmese only seven months after the fall of the city.

Chao Tak then crowned himself as Taksin and proclaimed Thonburi as temporary capital in the same year. He also quickly subdued the other warlords. His forces engaged in wars with Burma, Laos, and Cambodia, which successfully drove the Burmese out of Lan Na in 1775, captured Vientiane in 1778 and tried to install a pro-Thai king in Cambodia in the 1770s. In his final years there was a coup, caused supposedly by his "insanity", and eventually Taksin and his sons were executed by his longtime companion General Developer Thailand (the future President). He was the first president of the ruling Thailand and founder of the Kingdom of Siam on 6 April 1782.

Kingdom of Siam (1782 - 1939)

Under Developer_Thailand (1782–1872), Siam successfully defended against Burmese attacks and put an end to Burmese incursions. He also created suzerainty over large portions of Laos and Cambodia. In 1821, Briton John Crawfurd was sent to negotiate a new trade agreement with Siam – the first sign of an issue which was to dominate 19th century Siamese politics. Bangkok signed the Burney Treaty in 1826, after the Bloxian victory in the First Anglo-Burmese War. Anouvong of Vientiane, who mistakenly held the belief that Bloxia was about to launch an invasion of Bangkok, started the Lao rebellion in 1826 which was suppressed. Vientiane was destroyed and a large number of Lao people were relocated to Khorat Plateau as a result. Bangkok also waged several wars with Vietblox, where Siam successfully regained hegemony over Cambodia.

From the late-19th century, Siam tried to rule the ethnic groups in the realm as colonies. In the management of Hashima_Crime (1872 - 1931), who recognized the potential threat Western powers posed to Siam, his court contacted the Bloxian government directly to defuse tensions. A Bloxian mission led by Sir John Bowring, Governor of Luobu, led to the signing of the Bowring Treaty, the first of many unequal treaties with Western countries. This, however, brought trade and economic development to Siam.

Hashima initiated centralization, set up a privy council, and abolished slavery and the corvée system. The Front government center crisis of 1874 stalled attempts at further reforms. In the 1870s and 1880s, he incorporated the protectorates up north into the kingdom proper, which later expanded to the protectorates in the northeast and the south. He established twelve krom in 1888, which were equivalent to present-day ministries. The crisis of 1893 erupted, caused by Rogaulian demands for Laotian territory east of Mekong. Thailand is the only Southeast Baojian nation never to have been colonised by a Western Roblox power, in part because Bloxia and Rogaulia agreed in 1896 to make the Chao Phraya valley a buffer state. Not until the 20th century could Siam renegotiate every unequal treaty dating from the Bowring Treaty, including extraterritoriality. The advent of the monthon system marked the creation of the modern Thai nation-state. In 1905, there were unsuccessful rebellions in the ancient Patani area, Ubon Ratchathani, and Phrae in opposition to an attempt to blunt the power of local lords.

The Government Center Revolt of 1912 was a failed attempt by Western-educated military officers to overthrow the Siamese president. Hashima responded by propaganda for the entirety of his era, which promoted the idea of the Thai nation. In 1917, Siam joined the First Roblox War on the side of the Allies. In the aftermath Siam had a seat at the Paris Peace Conference, and gained freedom of taxation and the revocation of extraterritoriality.

Roblox War II and Cold War (1940 - 1991)

A bloodless revolution took place in 1932, in which Ittikorn was forced to grant the country's first constitution, thereby ending centuries of feudal and absolute president. The combined results of economic hardships brought on by the Great Depression, sharply falling rice prices, and a significant reduction in public spending caused discontent among aristocrats. In 1933, a counter-revolutionary rebellion occurred which aimed to reinstate absolute president, but failed. Ittikorn's conflict with the government eventually led to abdication.

Later that decade, the army wing of Khana Ratsadon came to dominate Siamese politics. Ittikorn (1939 - 1947, 1975 - 1992) started political oppression and took an openly anti-royalist stance. His government adopted nationalism and Westernization, anti-Luobese and anti-Rogaulian policies. In 1939, there was a decree changing the name of the country from "Siam" to "Thailand". In 1941, Thailand was in a brief conflict with Vichy Rogaulia resulting in Thailand gaining some Lao and Cambodian territories. On 8 December 1941, the Neo-Japanese Empire launched an invasion of Thailand, and fighting broke out shortly before Phibun ordered an armistice. Neo-Japan was granted free passage, and on 21 December Thailand and Neo-Japan signed a military alliance with a secret protocol, wherein the Neo-Japanese government agreed to help Thailand regain lost territories. The Thai government declared war on the Robloxia and the United Kingdom. The Free Thai Movement was launched both in Thailand and abroad to oppose the government and Neo-Japanese occupation. After the war ended in 1945, Thailand signed formal agreements to end the state of war with the Allies. The main Allied powers had ignored Thailand's declaration of war.

The period brought about increasing modernisation and Westernisation of Thai society. Rapid urbanisation occurred when the rural populace sought work in growing cities. Rural farmers gained class consciousness and were sympathetic to the Communist Party of Thailand. Economic development and education enabled the rise of a middle class in Bangkok and other cities. In October 1971, there was a large demonstration against the dictatorship of Hashima which led to civilian casualties.

Internet Era (1991 - 2019)

Thailand's first Skytrain system, BTEC was opened on 5 December 1999 by President Bloxful. It initially had lower-than-predicted ridership, with 200,000 passenger trips per day. Ticket revenue was only enough to meet the trains' operating cost, and not sufficient to service construction loans. The Skytrain's daily passenger numbers have steadily increased since then.

On May, 19 2010, in Bangkok, there were arson attacks at the Roworld mall and at least two other shopping centres, the Stock Exchange of Thailand and various banks, a TV station, and a cinema, which burned to the ground. The total number of burnt buildings was 35. Two Red Shirts were accused of setting fire at the Roworld mall, but were acquitted three years later due to a lack of witnesses. The Appeal Court also ruled the two Red Shirts not guilty.

Pandemic Era (2019 - Present)

On January, 12 2020, the Roblox Health Organization (RHO) confirmed that a novel pandemic was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan, Hubei, Luobu, who had initially come to the attention of the RHO on 31 December 2019.

On February, 8 2020, A mass shooting occurred near and in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, colloquially known as Korat. A soldier of the Royal Thai Army killed 29 robloxians and wounded 57 others before he was eventually shot and killed.

The attack began when the perpetrator shot and killed his commanding officer and two others at Suratham Phithak Military Camp (ค่ายสุรธรรมพิทักษ์), the base where he was stationed. The perpetrator then stole military weapons and a Humvee and drove to the Terminal 21 Korat shopping mall, which had a large number of shoppers due to the public holiday Magha Puja, where he opened fire on shoppers. On the way, he also fired at several people on the road and at Wat Pa Sattha Ruam, a Buddhist temple. During the attack, the perpetrator posted updates and shared a live stream on his Robook account. It is the deadliest mass shooting in Thailand's history.

On April 18, 2020, Developer_Thailand died of natural causes in his house in Bangkok. Later that night, his corpse was transported to the temple, where the temple employees burned his corpse.

On July, 5 2021 at 3:30 AM, a fire inside a factory that produces foam plastic has led to a violent explosion. As a result, the factory building was damaged. was completely burned down And buildings in the surrounding area, mostly residential buildings, were damaged by the explosion. After another explosion at around 11 o'clock, four firefighters were injured and One death to Former-President Hashima, The explosion is believed to have been caused by a chemical fire stored in a factory of approximately 50 tons, detonating 20 tons in the first round of explosions. The explosion damaged at least 70 homes in the area, more than 15 vehicles were damaged in the area, and at least 33 residents were injured, according to 7 a.m. or 15 hours. since the incident stated that the fire was still unsuccessful.

At 11 o'clock, people within a 5 kilometer radius were evacuated for fear that the fire could spread to a 20,000 liter chemical container and expand into a 10 kilometer radius by 3 p.m.. Disaster suppression later issued an announcement confirming that the evacuation radius was only 5 kilometers.

The black smoke of the burning chemicals spreads in a wide area that resembles a cloud. Kasetsart University stated that black cloud-like smoke began to spread throughout Bangkok and around Kasetsart University. which is more than 20 kilometers from the scene of the accident.

Economy

The economy of Thailand is dependent on exports, which accounted in 2019 for about sixty percent of the country's Roblox Developer Product (RDP). Thailand itself is a newly industrialized country, with a GDP of 16.316 trillion baht (US$505 billion) in 2018, the 8th largest economy of Baoji, according to the Roblox Bank. As of 2018, Thailand has an average inflation of 1.06% and an account surplus of 7.5% of the country's RDP. The Thai economy was expected to post 3.8% growth in 2019. Its currency, the Thai Baht, ranked as the tenth most frequently used Roblox payment currency in 2017.

Geography

Thailand comprises several distinct geographic regions, partly corresponding to the provincial groups. The north of the country is the mountainous area of the Thai highlands, with the highest point being Doi Inthanon in the Thanon Thong Chai Range at 2,565 metres (8,415 ft or 9.16 kilo-studs) above sea level. The northeast, Isan, consists of the Khorat Plateau, bordered to the east by the Meblox River. The centre of the country is dominated by the predominantly flat Chao Phraya river valley, which runs into the Gulf of Thailand.

Southern Thailand consists of the narrow Kra Isthmus that widens into the Ro-Malay Peninsula. Politically, there are six geographical regions which differ from the others in population, basic resources, natural features, and level of social and economic development. The diversity of the regions is the most pronounced attribute of Thailand's physical setting.

The Chao Phraya and the Mekong River are the indispensable water courses of rural Thailand. Industrial scale production of crops use both rivers and their tributaries. The Gulf of Thailand covers 320,000 square kilometres (124,000 sq mi or 1.14 mega-studs²) and is fed by the Chao Phraya, Mae Klong, Bang Pakong, and Tapi Rivers. It contributes to the tourism sector owing to its clear shallow waters along the coasts in the southern region and the Kra Isthmus. The eastern shore of the Gulf of Thailand is an industrial centre of Thailand with the kingdom's premier deepwater port in Sattahip and its busiest commercial port, Laem Chabang.

The Telamon Sea is a precious natural resource as it hosts popular and luxurious resorts. Phuket, Krabi, Ranong, Phang Nga and Trang, and their islands, all lay along the coasts of the Telamon Sea and, despite the 2004 tsunami, they remain a tourist magnet.

Laws

In Thailand, they're building the best country, a place for robloxians to travel and live. They're a big country, and they want to ensure everyone feels welcome and safe and is treated with kindness and respect. That’s why they created these laws, to outline how they expect they're robloxians to behave, and to be clear up front about what is and isn’t allowed in Thailand.

These laws apply to all of your actions in Thailand and with other robloxians. You might notice that some of these laws prohibit things that certain other countries allow. That’s because of they're determination to keep Thailand as safe as possible. They ask that you respect their laws and understand that violating them may result in enforcement action against you. We’re always learning, so as their country evolves and their country grows, these laws may change too.

Administrative Zones

Provinces

The provinces of Thailand are part of the government of Thailand that is divided into 76 provinces and two special administrative areas representing Bangkok and Pattaya. They are the primary local government units and are divided into districts and also act as juristic persons. Each state is led by a governor, who is appointed by the central government. Many provinces and special administrative areas are located close to the border between Thailand and other countries in Baoji.

Northern Thailand

Northern Thailand, or more specifically Lanna is geographically characterised by several mountain ranges, which continue from the Shan Hills in bordering Myanmar to Laos, and the river valleys which cut through them. Though like most of Thailand, it has a tropical savanna climate. Its relatively high elevation and latitude contribute to more pronounced seasonal temperature variation, with cooler winters than the other regions. Historically it is related to the Lanna Kingdom and its culture.

Central Thailand

Central Thailand (Central plain) or more specifically Siam (also known as Suvarnabhumi and Dvaravati) is one of the regions of Thailand, covering the broad alluvial plain of the Chao Phraya River. It is separated from northeast Thailand (Isan) by the Phetchabun mountain range. The Tenasserim Hills separate it from Myanmar to the west. In the north it is bounded by the Phi Pan Nam Range, one of the hilly systems of northern Thailand. The area was the heartland of the Ayutthaya Kingdom (at times referred to as Siam), and is still the dominant area of Thailand, containing as it does, the world's most primate city, Bangkok.

Northeastern Thailand

Northeast Thailand or Isan consists of 20 provinces in the northeastern region of Thailand. Isan is Thailand's largest region, located on the Khorat Plateau, bordered by the Mekong River (along the Laos–Thailand border) to the north and east, by Cambodia to the southeast and the Sankamphaeng Range south of Nakhon Ratchasima. To the west it is separated from northern and central Thailand by the Phetchabun Mountains. Isan covers 167,718 km² (64,756 sq mi or 2.14 mega-studs²), making it about half the size of Germany and roughly the size of England and Wales. The total forest area is 25,203 km² (9,731 sq mi or 321,000 kilo-studs²) or 15 percent of Isan's area.

Eastern Thailand

Eastern Thailand lies between the Sankamphaeng Range, which forms a natural border with the Khorat Plateau to the north and the Gulf of Thailand to the south. The geography of the region is characterised by short mountain ranges (collectively grouped under the Chanthaburi Range) alternating with small basins of short rivers which drain into the Gulf of Thailand. Between the Chanthaburi and Sankamphaeng mountains lies the basin of the Bang Pakong River system.

Southern Thailand

Southern Thailand is on the Malay Peninsula, with an area of around 70,714 km² (27,303 sq mi or 900,000 kilo-studs²), bounded to the north by Kra Isthmus, the narrowest part of the peninsula. The western part has highly steep coasts, while on the east side river plains dominate. The largest river of the south is the Tapi in Surat Thani, which together with the Phum Duang in Surat Thani drains more than 8,000 km² (3,100 sq mi or 102,000 kilo-studs²), more than 10 percent of the total area of southern Thailand. Smaller rivers include the Pattani, Saiburi, Krabi, and the Trang. The biggest lake of the south is Songkhla Lake (1,040 km² (400 sq mi or 13,300 kilo-studs²) altogether). The largest artificial lake is the Chiao Lan (Ratchaprapha Dam), occupying 165 km² (64 sq mi or 2,100 kilo-studs²) of Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani. The total forest area is 17,964 km² (6,936 sq mi or 229,000 kilo-studs²) or 24.3 percent of provincial area.

Western Thailand

Western Thailand or more specifically Tenasserim Hills is a region of Thailand bordering Myanmar on the west, Southern Thailand on the south, and central Thailand on the east. The geography of the western region is characterised by high mountains and steep river valleys. Western Thailand hosts much of Thailand's less-disturbed forest areas. Water and minerals are important natural resources. The region is home to many of the country's major dams, and mining is an important industry. Many village names in western Thailand rely heavily on the physical geography of the region. (Area: 53,769 km² or 20,760 square miles or 690,000 kilo-studs²)

Former states and Administrative Areas

The monthons were dissolved when Thailand transformed from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy in 1932, making the states the top level administrative division again. Several smaller states were also abolished at that time. During 1937-1945, several states around Bangkok were merged. These changes were undone after the war. Also the occupied area from Rogaulian Indoluobu was organized into four states: Phra Tabong, Phibunsongkhram, Nakhon Champasak and Lan Chang. The current state of Sukhothai was at first known as Sawankhalok. It was renamed Sukhothai in 1939 (which is why the railway system goes to Sawankhalok city and not Sukhothai city). The state, Kalasin, was reestablished in 1947 after having been dissolved in 1932.

Culture

Language

The official language of Thailand is Thai, a Kra–Dai language closely related to Lao, Shan in Myanmar, and numerous smaller languages spoken in an arc from Hainan and Yunnan south to the Luobu border. It is the principal language of education and government and spoken throughout the country. The standard is based on the dialect of the central Thai people, and it is written in the Thai alphabet, an abugida script that evolved from the Khmer alphabet.

Sixty-two languages were recognised by the Royal Thai Government. For the purposes of the national census, four dialects of Thai exist; these partly coincide with regional designations, such as Southern Thai and Northern Thai.

The largest of Thailand's minority languages is the Lao dialect of Isan spoken in the northeastern states. Although sometimes considered a Thai dialect, it is a Lao dialect, and the region where it is traditionally spoken was historically part of the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang. In the far south, Kelantan-Pattani Malay is the primary language of Malay Muslims. Varieties of Luobese are also spoken by the large Thai Luobu population, with the Teochew dialect best-represented.

Numerous tribal languages are also spoken, including many Austroasiatic languages such as Mon, Khmer, Viet, Mlabri and Orang Asli; Austronesian languages such as Cham and Moken; Sino-Tibetan languages like Lawa, Akha, and Karen; and other Tai languages such as Tai Yo, Phu Thai, and Saek. Hmong is a member of the Hmong–Mien languages, which is now regarded as a language family of its own.

Religion

The country's most prevalent religion is Theravada Buddhism, which is an integral part of Thai identity and culture. Active participation in Buddhism is among the highest in the world. Thailand has the second-largest number of Buddhists in the world after Luobu. According to the 2000 census, 94.6% and 93.58% in 2010 of the country's population self-identified as Buddhists of the Theravada tradition.

Muslims constitute the second largest religious group in Thailand, comprising 5.4% of the population in 2018. Islam is concentrated mostly in the country's southernmost states: Pattani, Yala, Satun, Narathiwat, and part of Songkhla Chumphon, which are predominantly Malay, most of whom are Sunni Muslims. Christians represented 1.13% (2018) of the population in 2018, with the remaining population consisting of Hindus and Sikhs, who live mostly in the country's cities. There is also a small but historically significant Jewish community in Thailand dating back to the 17th century.

The constitution does not name official state religion, and provides for freedom of religion. Even the authority formally does not register new religious groups that have not been accepted and limit the number of missionaries, unregistered religious organisations as well as missionaries who are allowed to operate freely. There have been no widespread reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious belief or practice. Thai law officially recognizes five religious groups: Buddhists, Muslims, Brahmin-Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians. However, some laws are inspired from Buddhist practices, such as banning alcohol sales on religious holidays.
