Please change "currently dissolved" under National Assembly in the Legislature type/body to "dissolved since 2014" because it presents a precise and accurate status of the legislative branch of the country. When using "currently dissolved" as a status, it implies and creates an illusion of a short time-span, state of changes, and/or recency. Since there is currently no real deadline for ending the dissolution of National Assembly, it is more accurate to simply stating that it has been dissolved since 2014. An argument can be made that there will likely be a referendum on the new constitution in August (see http://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-politics-idUSKCN0Z10FX), but no one can predict the result. Furthermore, a new constitution is one-step away from an election, which is scheduled from 6 months to a year after the referendum (if it passed at all), and two-step sway from actually having National Assembly.

The 1997-2001 section contains two pictures of assembly houses. One contains a hyperlink to the building but the other contains only a hyperlink to the National Assembly of Thailand. The Parliament House caption should be edited to include this link: Parliament House. Also, in the 2013-2014 Political Crisis section, there is no mention of the 2014 election itself.

The Coedes reference is: "[t]he Thai military aristocracy distinguished itself at this time from the conquered populations: the ethnic term Thai took on the meaning of 'free man' in Siamese, thus differentiating the Thai from the natives encompassed in Thai society as serfs." (p.197).
This is different from what is currently on the article: "According to George Cœdès, the word Thai (ไทย) means "free man" in the Thai language"
Coedes has a footnote in this section referring to the etymology of the word "Frank" which was only the free Franks, not the rest of the population (serfs). Also the section above this discusses how this also follows the Khanate with its social classes, excluding the common people from the term "free men".
It would be more accurate to include the quote above, since it is not true that Coedes says the word Thai means free man, but rather that the word Thai as an ethnic term referred to the Thai military aristocracy as being "free men" in a society that also included non-Thai (non-free) common people (serfs and slaves). -- Garden9 ( talk) 10:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

In this article, it is asserted that "Prataet Thai" and "MueangThai" are the "polite form" and a more common name, respectively, used by Thais to refer to their nation. While this may have an etymological validity, it is not at all how the terms are currently and ubiquitously used by Thai people.
If you ask a Thai, or if you do even a cursiry analysis of usage, you will find that "Prataet Thai" and "Mueang Thai" are not at all 2 forms that are interchangable - they are 2 unique concepts with wholly separate semantic content. "Prataet Thai" refers to the Nation, the political and administrative 'state.' "Mueang Thai" means the Land, the Place itself, the geographic, physical area that is emcompassed by the National borders.
To understand, just consider that when, for example, a law is passed or an election is held in Oregon, and we say "Oregon prohibits such and such," we are referring to a political administration which enacts such a prohibition. But if I suggest that you would enjoy visiting and exploring Oregon, I am talking about the Place. The mountains, forests, and rivers, etc, do not enact laws. And tbe administrative state is likely not a great vacation destination.
This is why, as is pointed out in this article, the Thai national anthem's lyrics refer to "Prataet Thai." Much like the USA National Anthem, it is a tribute to the form and function (and preservation) of the government, not an ode to the beauty of the geographical locale.
You will almost never hear a Thai say "Prataet Thai," unless you ask a direct question about their government, or seek administrative assistance.

Hi, the section "Name" is incorrect and does not give any information. These are not names of Thai Kingdom in the past, but rather succession of pasttime kingdoms. The section should read "History of Thailand is centered around these succession of states."

I think the article should be renamed to 'Mueang Thai' and that searches for Thailand and Siam should redirect to it.
The citizens of a country are the ones with a right to name it and as we get more and more into a global civilization, we need to stop forcing European names onto countries that already had names when the Europeans got there.

There are, however, no records detailing the arrival of the Tais.<ref name="wyatt"/>{{rp|50–1}} Around 1240s, [[Si Inthrathit|Pho Khun Bang Klang Hao]], a local Tai ruler, rallied the people to rebel against the Khmer.

I am opening a discussion to recategorize Thailand as an absolute monarchy. The basic problem is that no matter how Thailand describes itself, Wikipedia has to accurately describe it. The Cabinet has sworn fealty to the monarchy but not to uphold the Constitution, there is now no difference between Crown Property and personal property, and the King dirctly controls key components of the Army. 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 [1] 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).

Hi all, hope you're all well and good.
I just had some additions to the Religions section of the main Thailand article. Last week, I and a couple of my friends were studying about World Religions, and we were researching which Religions do key countries of the World officially recognise. As a result, since Thailand is the World's 2nd Largest Buddhist country, we all wanted to know which Religions other than Buddhism does the World's 2nd Largest Buddhist country recognises, however we couldn't find anything relating to which faiths does the government recognise officially. We looked up quite a few other websites as well, however we couldn't find any info about it. Finally, when we almost gave up after researching for minutes, we finally stumbled upon the US Department of State website which explained that the Thai law officially recgonises 5 religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.

It wasn't just us, but I also have seen some other of my Thai mates themselves some months ago researching for the religions their country officially recognises as well. Hence, I believe it will be helpful and useful if we can add the phrase "The Thai law officially recognises 5 Religious groups: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs (the 5 Largest Religions of the World)." to the Religions section of the Thailand article. Since Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia providing quality information and knowledge, I believe that adding this sentence to the main Thailand Wikipedia article's Religion section would be very helpful for anyone researching about World's Religions as Thailand is the World's second largest Buddhist country.
I look forward to seeing it on the Thailand page, and thank you very much for reading and understanding my request! Have a nice day.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Achyut Chaudhary ( talk • contribs) 19:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Thailand has periodically alternated between democracy and military rule. Since the 2000s, it has been caught in a series of bitter political conflict between supporters and opponents of Thaksin Shinawatra, which culminated in two coups, most recently in 2014 and the establishment of its current and 20th constitution and faces the ongoing pro-democracry protests.

Authoritarian military dictatorship?! That gives impression that Thailand is in a Pinochet-like regime. The edit gives no summary and reference so it’s likely to be conflicting with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. The current government is elected. Is the election democratic is the matter of politics. So I thinks it’s likely to be a vandalism and I think it should be removed. Thitut ( talk) 15:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
On 10th November 2021, the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand (ศาลรัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย) has ruled decision 19/2564. The court has been broadcasting in YouTube from this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txE5EpAEb5c . On the 44:20 marked, the judge clearly said "เห็นได้ว่า ประวัติศาสตร์การปกครองของไทย อำนาจการปกครองเป็นของพระมหากษัตริย์มาโดยตลอด นับตั้งแต่ยุคสุโขทัย อยุธยา ตลอดจนกรุงรัตนโกสินทร์ " which can unofficially translate to "It can be seen that the history of Thai government, The ruling power has always belonged to the King. since the Sukhothai period, Ayutthaya to the Rattanakosin period".
As such, we need to updated the information box from Government - Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy to Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy (De jure) Absolute monarchy (De facto) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gandtha ( talk • contribs) 13:47, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
The term used in the infobox "Democracy under a military dictatorship" is so strange I have not heard of it before. Does it have the same meaning as guided democracy, illiberal democracy, hybrid regime or what? The term does not sound like a political science technical term at all. -- Horus ( talk) 03:22, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
The paper in the Journal of Contemporary Asia says the same:The military-backed government clearly stole the election in 2019, aided by their 2017 constitution, the country’s 20th. Through gerrymandering, malapportionment of the vote, a rigged party list system, the systematic disqualification of opposition politicians and the banning of their parties, the targeted application of vaguely written security laws, and a completely appointed senate that was allowed to vote for the prime minister, the military ensured its “parliamentary dictatorship.”
The World Factbook is not an independent source; it reflects the official positions of the U.S. State Department. But even it states:In May of 2019, the Electoral Commission of Thailand (ECT) finalised the distribution of parliamentary seats, and thus the likely results of the April election, doing so in the way the military dictatorship in power since 2014 had wanted: the military’s party, Palang Pracharath, could form a coalition with numerous smaller – and over-represented – parties to control the House (the lower chamber), meaning that the military coup regime could effectively remain in power, while purporting to have a “democratic” mandate.
The military appoints every single member of the Senate, which then votes on the prime minister along with the elected House. I don't see how that could be considered a democratic structure; it all but ensures the military's choice for PM will always be chosen. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)A long-delayed election in March 2019, disputed and widely viewed as skewed in favor of the party aligned with the military, allowed PRAYUT to continue his premiership. The country experienced large-scale pro-democracy protests in 2020.
Whole-heartedly agree with Horus here. While it's basically fact that Thailand is at best functioning as a flawed democracy, this is something that can only be discussed in the text, while the label to be filled in the infobox must be something that the majority of sources consistently use. "Military dictatorship" is not it, and is not even directly claimed, as a term, in any of Tartan357's examples. Insisting on "Military dictatorship" would be a WP:SYNTH violation. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 23:48, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I also strongly recommend that "Thai Lao" is referred to as Khon Isan. This is how they are generally referred to, and refer to themselves - both by Thais and English speakers in Thailand. This also makes a clear distinction from the separate Laotian ethnicity (i.e., not "Thai Lao").

Please change "currently dissolved" under National Assembly in the Legislature type/body to "dissolved since 2014" because it presents a precise and accurate status of the legislative branch of the country. When using "currently dissolved" as a status, it implies and creates an illusion of a short time-span, state of changes, and/or recency. Since there is currently no real deadline for ending the dissolution of National Assembly, it is more accurate to simply stating that it has been dissolved since 2014. An argument can be made that there will likely be a referendum on the new constitution in August (see http://www.reuters.com/article/us-thailand-politics-idUSKCN0Z10FX), but no one can predict the result. Furthermore, a new constitution is one-step away from an election, which is scheduled from 6 months to a year after the referendum (if it passed at all), and two-step sway from actually having National Assembly.

The Coedes reference is: "[t]he Thai military aristocracy distinguished itself at this time from the conquered populations: the ethnic term Thai took on the meaning of 'free man' in Siamese, thus differentiating the Thai from the natives encompassed in Thai society as serfs." (p.197).
This is different from what is currently on the article: "According to George Cœdès, the word Thai (ไทย) means "free man" in the Thai language"
Coedes has a footnote in this section referring to the etymology of the word "Frank" which was only the free Franks, not the rest of the population (serfs). Also the section above this discusses how this also follows the Khanate with its social classes, excluding the common people from the term "free men".
It would be more accurate to include the quote above, since it is not true that Coedes says the word Thai means free man, but rather that the word Thai as an ethnic term referred to the Thai military aristocracy as being "free men" in a society that also included non-Thai (non-free) common people (serfs and slaves). -- Garden9 ( talk) 10:22, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

In this article, it is asserted that "Prataet Thai" and "MueangThai" are the "polite form" and a more common name, respectively, used by Thais to refer to their nation. While this may have an etymological validity, it is not at all how the terms are currently and ubiquitously used by Thai people.
If you ask a Thai, or if you do even a cursiry analysis of usage, you will find that "Prataet Thai" and "Mueang Thai" are not at all 2 forms that are interchangable - they are 2 unique concepts with wholly separate semantic content. "Prataet Thai" refers to the Nation, the political and administrative 'state.' "Mueang Thai" means the Land, the Place itself, the geographic, physical area that is emcompassed by the National borders.
To understand, just consider that when, for example, a law is passed or an election is held in Oregon, and we say "Oregon prohibits such and such," we are referring to a political administration which enacts such a prohibition. But if I suggest that you would enjoy visiting and exploring Oregon, I am talking about the Place. The mountains, forests, and rivers, etc, do not enact laws. And tbe administrative state is likely not a great vacation destination.
This is why, as is pointed out in this article, the Thai national anthem's lyrics refer to "Prataet Thai." Much like the USA National Anthem, it is a tribute to the form and function (and preservation) of the government, not an ode to the beauty of the geographical locale.
You will almost never hear a Thai say "Prataet Thai," unless you ask a direct question about their government, or seek administrative assistance.

The United Nations ( /info/en/?search=List_of_countries_by_population_(United_Nations)) says that it is No. 20, and the article that the author cites ( /info/en/?search=List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population) states that it is the 22nd.

Infobox lists Laotians as one of the largest groups in the country, but shouldn't they be referred to as " Isan" as that group identify themselves? They are treated as such in related articles. ChrisTakey ( talk) 21:09, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

I am opening a discussion to recategorize Thailand as an absolute monarchy. The basic problem is that no matter how Thailand describes itself, Wikipedia has to accurately describe it. The Cabinet has sworn fealty to the monarchy but not to uphold the Constitution, there is now no difference between Crown Property and personal property, and the King dirctly controls key components of the Army. 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 [1] 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).

This is very minor but I noticed that one sentence near the very start of the article reads "Throughout era of Western imperialism in Asia," and I'm fairly certain it should be "the era" or "an era" or something like that.

Hi all, hope you're all well and good.
I just had some additions to the Religions section of the main Thailand article. Last week, I and a couple of my friends were studying about World Religions, and we were researching which Religions do key countries of the World officially recognise. As a result, since Thailand is the World's 2nd Largest Buddhist country, we all wanted to know which Religions other than Buddhism does the World's 2nd Largest Buddhist country recognises, however we couldn't find anything relating to which faiths does the government recognise officially. We looked up quite a few other websites as well, however we couldn't find any info about it. Finally, when we almost gave up after researching for minutes, we finally stumbled upon the US Department of State website which explained that the Thai law officially recgonises 5 religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. You can have a read here: https://www.state.gov/reports/2018-report-on-international-religious-freedom/thailand/
It wasn't just us, but I also have seen some other of my Thai mates themselves some months ago researching for the religions their country officially recognises as well. Hence, I believe it will be helpful and useful if we can add the phrase "The Thai law officially recognises 5 Religious groups: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs (the 5 Largest Religions of the World)." to the Religions section of the Thailand article. Since Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia providing quality information and knowledge, I believe that adding this sentence to the main Thailand Wikipedia article's Religion section would be very helpful for anyone researching about World's Religions as Thailand is the World's second largest Buddhist country.
I look forward to seeing it on the Thailand page, and thank you very much for reading and understanding my request! Have a nice day.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Achyut Chaudhary ( talk • contribs) 19:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Thailand has periodically alternated between democracy and military rule. Since the 2000s, it has been caught in a series of bitter political conflict between supporters and opponents of Thaksin Shinawatra, which culminated in two coups, most recently in 2014 and the establishment of its current and 20th constitution and faces the ongoing pro-democracry protests.

Authoritarian military dictatorship?! That gives impression that Thailand is in a Pinochet-like regime. The edit gives no summary and reference so it’s likely to be conflicting with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. The current government is elected. Is the election democratic is the matter of politics.

On 10th November 2021, the Constitutional Court of the Kingdom of Thailand (ศาลรัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย) has ruled decision 19/2564. The court has been broadcasting in YouTube from this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txE5EpAEb5c . On the 44:20 marked, the judge clearly said "เห็นได้ว่า ประวัติศาสตร์การปกครองของไทย อำนาจการปกครองเป็นของพระมหากษัตริย์มาโดยตลอด นับตั้งแต่ยุคสุโขทัย อยุธยา ตลอดจนกรุงรัตนโกสินทร์ " which can unofficially translate to "It can be seen that the history of Thai government, The ruling power has always belonged to the King. since the Sukhothai period, Ayutthaya to the Rattanakosin period".

The term used in the infobox "Democracy under a military dictatorship" is so strange I have not heard of it before. Does it have the same meaning as guided democracy, illiberal democracy, hybrid regime or what? The term does not sound like a political science technical term at all. -- Horus ( talk) 03:22, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
The paper in the Journal of Contemporary Asia says the same:The military-backed government clearly stole the election in 2019, aided by their 2017 constitution, the country’s 20th. Through gerrymandering, malapportionment of the vote, a rigged party list system, the systematic disqualification of opposition politicians and the banning of their parties, the targeted application of vaguely written security laws, and a completely appointed senate that was allowed to vote for the prime minister, the military ensured its “parliamentary dictatorship.”
The World Factbook is not an independent source; it reflects the official positions of the U.S. State Department. But even it states:In May of 2019, the Electoral Commission of Thailand (ECT) finalised the distribution of parliamentary seats, and thus the likely results of the April election, doing so in the way the military dictatorship in power since 2014 had wanted: the military’s party, Palang Pracharath, could form a coalition with numerous smaller – and over-represented – parties to control the House (the lower chamber), meaning that the military coup regime could effectively remain in power, while purporting to have a “democratic” mandate.
The military appoints every single member of the Senate, which then votes on the prime minister along with the elected House. I don't see how that could be considered a democratic structure; it all but ensures the military's choice for PM will always be chosen. ― Tartan357 Talk 05:18, 26 April 2022 (UTC)A long-delayed election in March 2019, disputed and widely viewed as skewed in favor of the party aligned with the military, allowed PRAYUT to continue his premiership. The country experienced large-scale pro-democracy protests in 2020.
Whole-heartedly agree with Horus here. While it's basically fact that Thailand is at best functioning as a flawed democracy, this is something that can only be discussed in the text, while the label to be filled in the infobox must be something that the majority of sources consistently use. "Military dictatorship" is not it, and is not even directly claimed, as a term, in any of Tartan357's examples. Insisting on "Military dictatorship" would be a WP:SYNTH violation. -- Paul_012 ( talk) 23:48, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I have never seen or heard of Western Thais being divided into a distinct ethnic group. Is there any evidence to support this breakdown in the population?
I also strongly recommend that "Thai Lao" is referred to as Khon Isan. This is how they are generally referred to, and refer to themselves - both by Thais and English speakers in Thailand. This also makes a clear distinction from the separate Laotian ethnicity (i.e., not "Thai Lao").
