Thailand is a constitutional monarchy occupying and area of 513,115 sq km (slightly larger than Spain) in Southeast Asia. Of its population of 65 million, the majority are Thais and the largest minority group is Chinese, who have mostly been assimilated through inter-marriage and long- time residence.
The origin of the Thai race is still unclear today. Some believe they have migrated from southwestern China, others say they have lived in the border areas between China,Loas,Burma and Thailand for at least 2,000 yaers, and still others suggest that they originated in what is today’s Thailand and then moved northwards
Anyway, it was recorded in history that two Thai chieftains,Khun Bang Klang Hao and Khun Pha Muang, established the first independent Thai Kingdom in Sukhothai in 1238 after driving away the Khmers who had ruled this region in the 11th and 12th centuries.
