Thailand has a very long history of development as the country has been inhabited by humans for about 20,000 years now. However, the earliest human settlement that can be traced dates back to 2000 BCE when agriculture developed and rice-growing became popular. The kingdom of Fuhan that flourished during the 2nd century before the Common Era is believed to be the first-ever powerful kingdom in Southeast Asia. Later on, present-day Thailand was conquered by several other empires

During the 6th century, the kingdom of Hariphunchai came into being. By the end of the 9th century, the Khmer Empire was established in the region. This was the time when Thailand became a significant center for trade and politics in Asia. All of this resulted in the drastic development of infrastructure.

In subsequent years, the Khmer Kingdom declined and hence, the Empire of Pagan rose to prominence. It flourished for a few decades until the Sukhothai Kingdom came to power. Later on, the country was ruled by the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the most powerful of them all, for almost 4 centuries.

It was in the late 18th century when the Ayutthaya Empire declined and gave birth to the Thonburi Kingdom. It ruled for a few decades until modernization and centralization hit the country by the early 19th century. Today, Thailand is one of the most popular nations in the world. Millions of tourists visit it to savor its ancient charm and to immerse in its natural magnificence.
