Looks like Thailand was a bit of a colonial power itself, ruling over Cambodians, Shan, and Laotians (although I think Laotians are related to the Thai…)

the Thai or siam at the time only claimed the part of eastern Shan state, they never actually controlled it, The Burmese army was stationed there, the closet they came to controlling the region was when they tried to invade to legitimize their claim and failed
And I think the Khmer king was also independent, or definitely was not controlled directly by the Central Thais,

So the bits around Malaya are misleading. Siam doing it’s own colonialism.

Everytime this map is posted europeans just flock in and activate defensive mode.
They can’t differentiate being ruled by foreign powers and being an extraction colony.

in some of those claims, it was never ‘ theirs ‘ to begin with. ridiculous and lazy propaganda which all geography and map lovers should be wary of

Looks vaguely like the partition of poland between russia and P-russia
The states of 1909 were vassals of Thailand, rather than a core.
And 1785 “loss” was actually a loss of one of the states, specifically Kedah.
Simiarly, around the 1900s, Thailand centralised whatever the colonial powers didnt touch outside of their sphere, as such dismantling Reman, Setul, Patani, etc.Â

So Cambodia was never there…?
