THAILAND

 

Thailand (Thai: ประเทศไทย),[a] referred to previously as Siam[b] and authoritatively as the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country in Southeast Asia. It is situated at the focal point of the Indochinese Peninsula, spreading over 513,120 square kilometers (198,120 sq mi), with a populace of just about 70 million people.[12] Thailand is lined toward the north by Myanmar and Laos, toward the east by Laos and Cambodia, toward the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and toward the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern limit of Myanmar. It likewise shares sea borders with Vietnam in the Gulf of Thailand toward the southeast, and Indonesia and India on the Andaman Sea toward the southwest. Bangkok is the country's capital and biggest city. Ostensibly, Thailand is a protected government and parliamentary vote based system; be that as it may, in ongoing history, its administration has encountered various overthrows and times of military fascisms.
