China and Lao Tai-tai

China and old ladies of the 17th century became "closed nations", which in fact limit the extent to which the "outside" world is permitted to enter China. Essentially, China opened the door to everyone who is trying to impose missionaries and Western culture (Christianity, alcohol, opium etc) to Chinese people. Tradition is very important for Chinese people. By the formation of the "unequal treaties" of the 19th century, the doors of missionaries were reopened and the way to the ideal of Western idea was opened.

Like Laos' national name, the name Yue / Việt originally refers to the group Tai - Kadai speaks. In northern Vietnam, these later adopted Mongolia and other northern Chinese varieties, of which the Yue Chinese retained the name of the country. (However, many Tai-Kadai languages ​​are still in use in Vietnam and southern China.) The same ethnic name, Yue ~ Việt, related to groups in Thailand, Austria and China is explained. Vocabulary, but origin is different

The Thai first mentioned Thai people in the 6 th century BC. Thai famous historian David K. Wyatt has many assumptions about Thai origin, but they think their ancestors are now living in Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, India, China. The area is about 5 days. Eighth century: In the eleventh century Thai began to move to Thailand today, Men and Khmer people occupied it. Therefore, Thai culture is influenced by the culture of India, Bangladesh, Khmer.

After the decline of the Khmer Empire and the pagan kingdom in the beginning of the 13th century, each state prospered. The territory of the Thai people ranges from today's Northeast India to today's North Laos and the Malay Peninsula. In the 13th century the Thai settled in the southern part of Nakhon Si Thammarat in the center of Dvaravati and Lavo Kingdom. However, there is no detailed explanation of the arrival of Tais. In the 1240 's, the local Thai ruler Faw Koon Baan Klang Hao called people against Khmer. He later won the status as the first king of Sukhothai Kingdom in 1238. A mainstream historian in Thailand believes Sukhothai is the first kingdom of Thailand. Sukhothai expanded furthest during the reign of Lam Khamhaen (1279-98). However, it is mainly a network of local lords swearing loyalty to Sukhothai, it is not directly controlled by it. Sukhothai won Buddhism seat during the reign of Maha Thammaracha I (1347-68)
