                            History of Thailand


        In this termpaper, we would be focusing on the success achieved by Thailand and the challenges faced, especially during globalization. We would also touch on modern history of Thailand, during World War 2. Since founding in 1238, Thailand have undergone many changes, many are successful, and many are not. We would go into the economic, social and political successes and challenges of Thailand. Is globalization a success? Looking at Thailand today, one would feel that it is a success, but look at the environmental disasters in Thailand. Another negative effect is AIDS. The opening of Thailand's borders brought challenges by communism. How about the recent Asian Economic Crisis? If we look at it in another way, Thailand have became a more developed country and life expectancy rate have gone up. Thailand's foreign relations is also a success, so is its communications. Globalization have also made Thailand's tourism a success. How about politics in which the King of Thailand reigned supreme and war and peace in Thailand? All these and more in the termpaper.
