European colonial powers: *Surround Thailand*
Thailand: "You know I'm something of a European myself."

There is a mistake in the video, the blue island in the south of China is called Hainan, it was occupied by Japan in World War II, but never became a colony of France

Actually, in WW2 there was a faction of Thais who sided with the allies headed by the Thai ambassador Seni Pramoj.
He was meant to deliver the war declaration to the US, but he refused, instead asking them for help unfreezing Thai assets to organize a resistance movement known as the "Free Thai Movement". This lasted from 1941-1945 where they mostly acted as intelligence and pilot recovery for the allies.

In the end, their efforts resulted in a new anti-Japanese/pro-allies government and so Thailand didn't have to pay shit lmao
Obligatory: THAILAND NUMBER 1 🇹🇭 🇹🇭 🇹🇭

But one thing for sure, Tai people's southward migration prevented their fate from sinicization

Saying Liberia was an independent country is like saying Vichy France was a sovereignty.
