colonized by any Western nation. Siam was modernized and centralized in the reign of King Chulalongkorn. Siam joined the Allies in World War I in 1917. In 1932, a revolution occurred that changed the government to a democracy with the King as Head of State without bloodshed. The People's Party plays a leading role in politics. And in the Buddhist decade of 1937, Prime Minister Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsongkram pursued a strong nationalist policy. During World War II Thailand joins the Axis powers But the majority of the Allies did not accept the declaration of war. During the Cold War Thailand is an ally of the United States, which supports the military government. A coup headed by Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat in 1957 brought the country into an era of total military dictatorship.

3912:: Elephants abound in Thai art and popular culture. You’ll find them in carvings, paintings, textiles, stories—even on bottles of the beloved local beer, Chang. The national symbol of Thailand, elephants are admired for their strength, endurance and intelligence. They have long had a role in Thai society; elephants were used in warfare centuries ago, and they also hauled logs and farm produce. A white elephant was even on Thailand’s national flag from 1855 to 1916, and on the King’s personal flag before then. White-elephant flags still fly on Thai Navy ships. A white elephant symbolizes the King. Rare and considered sacred, white elephants (which are a pinkish-grey, actually) were given to the King, whose status was determined by how many white elephants he owned. It all started when the mother of Gautama Buddha, the Hindu prince and founder of Buddhism, dreamed of a white elephant holding a lotus flower in its trunk the night before his birth in India. The connection between Thai kings and elephants has made it into global culture in the form of the term “white elephant.” If a king was angry with a courtier, he gave him a white elephant as a gift. Since the animals were forbidden to work, couldn’t be given away, and their maintenance was expensive, the man would be ruined. The phrase became a synonym for something useless. -- 5976:

The Ayutthaya Kingdom was able to annex Sukhothai as part of its own. Contact with the West began with the Portuguese ambassador in 1511. War with the Burmese led to the loss of the capital in 1569, but King Naresuan the Great He declared independence within 15 years. The kingdom prospered greatly during the reign of King Narai the Great. But after that, it gradually lost power due in part to the shifting of the land and the bloodshed of many reigns. Until finally, Ayutthaya was completely destroyed in 1767. King Thonburi He united the land that had broken into various factions and established the 15-year-old Thonburi Kingdom.

Moreover, as it personalized CPB land, the Crown has taken back from the people public proprty, e.g., the parliament, Dusit Zoo, etc. Acadamics such as McCargo strongly suggest the country is now an absolute monarchy. Other modern absolute monarchies have constitutions, e.g., Brunei. If necessary, we could distinguish between (self-described = constitutional monarchy) and (actual = absolute monarchy).

5195:. The unelected Senate in Thailand gets to choose the executive branch; the comparison to the UK is ridiculous, frankly. And some royal influence in the government is a standard feature of a constitutional monarchy. Direct military control of the legislative branch is not, and I find it baffling that anyone would think the military appointing your senator is "democracy". I've said all I want to say on the matter though; if others don't agree, that's fine. ― 4685:
