In Thai history curriculums, Thais are taught only about the wars with Burma but aren’t taught about the wars with Cambodia, the conquest of Laos, and the wars with the Vietnamese.
I see the war with Laos as an important part of Thai history because this is how we gained the Isan province and I see the war with Vietnam as important because it is an evidence of the cultural changes that came after the war with Burma (Thais became more militaristic and expansionist after the Burmese conquests).
Why aren’t these taught?
