This map is not biased; I did not create this map. It is based on facts and historical research. Please keep the comments and discussion hate-free or I will be forced to disable them.
people in thailand are descent from differnce ancestors but they speak thai and have thai nationality . Sure they are thais because they have thai nationality. the same as Laosong Laoterng Lao lum, they all be lao people.
I have my rights. If I was in Thailand now&spoken about this issue that is still an issue. Some of these Thai Nationalist would put me against Les Majesty Law and would hire someone to beat me up or murder without a trace. That is the real Thailand&Thai way.Also I have done research into Thai politic with Laos& other neighbors for a long time now. I can see where and how they do things. I am only teaching the world about the real Thai&Thai-ness, not some fake smile that everyone seem to think.
stop negative thinking about yourself and thais.
I agree both country should work together. Laos can used Cambodia Seaport for import and export. And Cambodia can used Laos pathway trade connection by train from China to Cambodia. This will surely benefit both country very greatly and efficiency.
Loas and Khmer are in the same boat against the agressive Communist Youn and against the Arrogant Siem. Both our country were once warriors, we have always been brothers in arms Since the Lanna Kingdom to the Angkor period. We need to break out of the communists government and join force.
ThePongsatorn please do not forget your true history, if you’re Kon Esan you’re in the same boat as me, our greeeeeaaaat grand parents were the victims of King Taksin and Chakri during invasion Siamese in 1779 and 1827, my ancestors fled Lao to Cambodia in 1827, the innocent civilians were butchered like animals when Viengchan was ransacked and burnt down.
ThePongsatorn views history from Thai perspective which doesn’t tell the dark side of it. Thai school children are being taught that they’re always the victim, they got invaded by the Burmese and destroyed their capital Ayutthaya, Chao Anuvong betrayed them, King Setha of Cambodia also betrayed them by attacked them when they were fencing Burmese’s attack but what Thai history does not mention when they are the villain, sacked Angkor in 1431, sacked Viengchan in 1779 and 1827 and so on…
Do you know who built that canal you see today in Bangkok? It was the work of mostly Lao,Khmer,Burmese And then Malaysian,Chinese and Vietnamese under the Siamese ruler. They were as barbaric as they can be because they were the invaders of other kingdom and territory. Not like the one you see on Thai Movies. That is just fake to hide the true history of Thailand. Also Siamese is considered by all Tai as Khmer/Mon people. The evidence is all there.
none of lao khmer malay mon chinese or else in thailand is slave . some of them ever been high administrator of thailand.
don’t use history hurt yourself.
Cambodia should take back those land stolen from the Thai people. Also Burma and Laos should do the same thing too. And don’t exclude Malaysian who their own brother and sister are being killed everyday in Southern Thailand by the Thai military and Thai rouge Neo-Nationalist. I think we need to join force and push these Thai out to the sea where they should have no land to step on! Buffet for the Sharks!
Also the story of Ya-Moo was a made up story to separate Lao people on both side of the River by disregarding Lao over Thai nationalism 60 years ago. Many Lao in Thailand now lost their own heritage and ethnic identity to being Thai. North East are now considered the ppl their as Isaan. Isaan alone is not even an ethnic name, but a direction in Sankrit language. It doesn’t make sense to call someone from North East as ethnic Isaan at all.
North East Thailand was apart of Lanxang when the Siamese invaded our territory and enslaved over half the Lanxang population to Siam as slave labor. Don’t even try to fabricate your own history from the truth because we know Thailand history always telling the world that they always a good guys. Siam was the enemy of its neighbors and the invaders who killed innocent lives and steal our culture and language by intro to the world. Thai nationalism has gotten so neo-nazi lately.
If there are today over 1.4 millions Khmer Surin living and spread across Thailand. Why are you Siem thieves still trying to create this fairytale about the Khom Empire that disappeared back into India, or that Khmer Empire never existed across SEA?
northeast thailand have ever been part of lan xang before siam took over. so ….
Northern Khmer (called Khmer Surin in Khmer) refers to the dialects spoken by approximately 1.4 million Khmers native to the provinces of present-day Northeast Thailand. After the fall of the Khmer Empire in the early 15th century, the Dongrek Mountains served as a natural border leaving the Khmer north of the mountains under the sphere of influence of Lan Xang.
lol, I love how you ask people to keep comments hate-free on this kind of videos xD
Because you Siem thieves looted our land. Thats why there are many Khmer Surin till this days.
khmer in thai want to be thai.
These siems need to stop! Us Khmer know who we are and where we came from! But u siems live a lie you stole our land and culture. Your so call ancient music sound so horrible I tried listening to it. And sounds so annoying your using our instruments the wrong way.. so just stop with all your lies!!
You need to watch this YouTube video: By Prof. Charnvit Kasetseri; Thai-Cambodian Conflict ; Nature and Solutions. Then you’ll know why…..

i hope this is a joke…
What im trying to say is during the Ayuthaya period they didnt call their kingdom “Siam” they called their kingdom ” muang tai”.
I know exactly what’s the difference between Tai and Thai, the term Thai (mixed race)existed since 1939 created by Piboon Songkram for the purpose of “Thaification” and Tai is a race from souhthern China which is the ancestor of many Thais today.
Thai children are taught they originated from Altai Mountain in central Mongolia then came down thru China, then settled down in Yunnan or Nanchao, then finally came down the Golden Land which is modern day Thailand.
