The word Siam or Siam is not a well-known word of the Siamese people, but it is a word that the Portuguese who live in Chumphutawit call the people of Rassadon,
Siam today has a history, I would like to present who Siam is in the understanding of Lalu Bear and Jit Phumisak.
Today's information will be divided into two parts to explain the word Siam, the Siamese people, the Siamese people and the Siamese kingdom.
Most of the first part of the details will be taken from the letter of Lalu Bear who came in the era of Somdet Phanarai Maharaj.
He wrote an explanation about Siam that in the era of Somdet Phanarai, the word Siam is not a well-known word of the Siamese people,
but it is a word that the Portuguese use to call the people of Rassadon in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya that the Siamese people,
instead of calling the Ayutthaya people, they call the Pako people, the Lao people.
And for the Siamese people, they often call themselves Thai, which means freedom, which is the meaning according to their language.
And even if foreigners call them Siamese, the people of these cities are also proud of that name.
The word Siam and Thai are the same meaning, which means freedom, and this word used to be the main confirmation of the independence of the French in the past.
This is the word freedom, which is the greatest meaning in ancient times.
In addition, Lalu Bear analyzed that calling the people of Ayutthaya as Siam, the Portuguese must have been influenced or understood by the Pako or the Mon people,
because they had known the Siamese people from the mouth of the Mon people in the past.
Lalu Bear also noted that he referred to King Sawadhan of the Kingdom of China, Chapter 1, Chapter 5,
that the word Siam written as Sian comes from two words, which is Sian Lo or Sian Lo.
But in that chapter, it does not say what it means, although it can be argued that the Chinese used to call Thailand like that.
In addition, Lalu Bear said that the Siamese people called Siam as Sri Ayutthaya, and in the word Yo, you have to pinch your mouth to make a sound.
But sometimes they call this Siamese city as Bangkok, Phramahanakorn.
But most of these words are difficult for our people to hear, because they are composed of words in the Balinese language,
which the Buddha said is the original language of the Siamese people.
But there are also some foreigners who call Siam as Ayutthaya or Othaya.
Foreigners who want an easy word, often call it Siam, which is the Siamese people.
In summary, in the way we study, we will give the information that Siamese people or Siam is a word that foreigners used to call Thai people in the past.
The Siamese people who are close to some parts or in some eras used to call people in the area of the province without counting the provinces,
by assigning large provinces to the center, such as the province of Sri Ayutthaya, the province of Thonburi and the province of Rattanakosin at the beginning,
as the Siamese people or Siamese people.
But the Siamese people themselves in every province that has been said will not call themselves Siamese,
but this word is often called by foreigners.
But after the 5th government came to power until the 7th government,
it was the call of people in the country with clear border lines as Siamese.
And the people of Siam themselves began to call themselves the Siamese people.
Until the era of the war, when the Buddha changed from Siamese to Thai.
As for Khun Kitt Pumisak,
and it must be emphasized that there is a thought in the present as well,
that in fact Siam may be the name of an ancient province or ethnic group.
It is not a new word that the Foreigners gave during the period of interaction with the locals or people in the province of Sri Ayutthaya.
The word Siam, this word may have been used for a long time.
Khun Kitt Pumisak argued that the word Siam in these ancient manuscripts
is a nomadic name, meaning Thai people.
According to the script in the ancient Khamen, the nomadic name is often used to name Siam.
This word in modern Khamen means Siam, meaning Thai or Siam,
which is an evidence of its origin in Kampuchea,
the time after the Buddha was born, as well as the time of Sri Ayutthaya as a ruler.
The word Siam, which changes from the ancient Khamen method,
to the modern method,
Siam has a clear meaning, meaning Thai people.
Which the evidence of the Khamen and Khun Kitt Pumisak,
together with some scholars,
will believe that Siam, this word has been around for a long time,
not the Portuguese who set it up,
or in Thai modern information.
But I would like to say that there is not much evidence about Siam or Siam in the present.
It depends on the investigation and exploration of history.
As for now, in the year of the Buddha,
2,566 that I am making this clip,
there will be two types of thoughts,
which I explain who Siam is in history.
As for who will believe in which of these two,
it depends on the opinion of each listener.
What theory do you believe in?
But most importantly, don't forget to tell us about your thoughts
in the comments below.
Thank you for watching.
