2.5 The history of Thailand
The history of Thailand begins with the immigration the Thais from their ancestral home in southern China into mainland Southeast Asia around the 10
th
century AD. Prior to this Mon, Khmer and Malay kingdoms ruled the region. The Thais established their own states starting with Sukhothai and then Ayitthya
kingdom. These states fought each other and were under constant threat from the Khmers, Burma, and Vietnam. Much later, the European colonial powers
threatened in the 19
th
and early 20
th
centuries, but Thailand survived as the only southeast Asian state avoid colonial rule. After the end of the absolute monarchy
19
in 1932, Thailand endured sixty years of almost permanent military rule before the establishment of a democracy system.
The 19th century was the period during which many of the smaller settlements in western sanulok Province then Phitsanulok Precint such as
Bang Krathum ,
Nakhon Pa Mak and
Wang Thong began to turn into urban societies. Phitsanuloks
municipal market was established in the village of Ban Sam Ruen
in Nakhon Pa Mak, and during this period, the sport of long-boat racing emerged as a means of
friendly competition between the scattered riparian villages, which were still separated by dense forest. Temple restorations in the city of Phitsanulok continued
through the 19th century, including the restoration of Wat Ratchaburana
ordered by King
Mongkut . In 1898, The Phitsanulok municipal market moved up the
Wang Thong River from
Ban Sam Ruen to
Ban Wang Thong as the upriver
portions of the province became more and more developed.

New technology, agricultural and otherwise, was introduced into the region, in part by influences of
western colonial powers in Southeast Asia, which paved the way for widespread rapid development of the province in the 20th century. The 19th century also
brought a wave of Laotian and Chinese immigrants to the Phitsanulok Province, who each added their contributions to the local culture, especially in the areas of
cuisine, art and language. In 1895, King Chulalongkorn
implemented far-reaching reforms in the administration of Thailand which divided Phitsanulok Province into
amphoe and tambon. While the boundaries and names of many of the original subdivisions have changed, the system is still in place througout Phitsanulok and
the rest of Thailand.
