Thailand Versus Siam
-
Which one sounds better for you or rather which one should it be.As a person with some Thai heritage I feel Siam sounds good to the heart but Thailand is now a modern country and needs to keep moving forward and never look back.

We call them Siamgaporeans.
Thailand is definitely a more recognisable name than Siam, especially among the younger generation. Besdies, there is no reason for Thailand to change their name back to Siam.

Free as in Liberty

Jokes aside, free becos Thailand has never been colonised.
Also make friends and get southern states free, namely Setul, Singgora, Patani, Narathiwat and Yala.

In 1909, these Malay Sultanates were annexed by Siam as part of Ango-Siam Treaty negotiated with the British.
