Territorial Losses of Thailand to European Colonial Powers

geodatarankings:

territorial losses of Thailand (formerly Siam) to European colonial powers during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Large areas were ceded mainly to France in the east, which later became parts of Laos and Cambodia, and to the United Kingdom in the west and south, affecting regions that are now part of Myanmar and Malaysia.

Each marked year represents a treaty or agreement that resulted in territorial reduction. Despite these losses, Thailand managed to remain independent and retain its core territory by acting as a buffer state between British and French colonial interests.
