A
unified Thai kingdom was established in the mid-14th
century. Known as Siam until 1939, Thailand is the only
Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over
by a European power. A bloodless revolution in 1932
led to a constitutional monarchy. In alliance with Japan
during World War II, Thailand became a US treaty ally
following the conflict. A military coup in September
2006 ousted then Prime Minister THAKSIN Chinnawat. The
interim government held elections in December 2007 that
saw the pro-THAKSIN People's Power Party (PPP) emerge
at the head of a coalition government. The anti-THAKSIN
People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in May 2008 began
street demonstrations against the new government, eventually
occupying the prime minister's office in August. Clashes
in October 2008 between PAD protesters blocking parliament
and police resulted in the death of at least two people.
The PAD occupied Bangkok's international airports briefly,
ending their protests in early December 2008 following
a court ruling that dissolved the ruling PPP and two
other coalition parties for election violations. The
Democrat Party then formed a new coalition government
with the support of some of THAKSIN's former political
allies, and ABHISIT Wetchachiwa became prime minister.
Since January 2004, thousands have been killed as separatists
in Thailand's southern ethnic Malay-Muslim provinces
increased the violence associated with their cause.

With
a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy,
and generally pro-investment policies, Thailand was
one of East Asia's best performers from 2002-04, averaging
more than 6% annual real GDP growth. However, overall
economic growth has fallen sharply - averaging 4.9%
from 2005 to 2007 - as persistent political crisis stalled
infrastructure mega-projects, eroded investor and consumer
confidence, and damaged the country's international
image. Exports were the key economic driver as foreign
investment and consumer demand stalled. Export growth
from January 2005 to November 2008 averaged 17.5% annually.
Business uncertainty escalated, however, following the
September 2006 coup when the military-installed government
imposed capital controls and considered far-reaching
changes to foreign investment rules and other business
legislation. Although controversial capital controls
have since been lifted and business rules largely remain
unchanged, investor sentiment has not recovered. Moreover,
the 2008 global financial crisis further darkened Thailand's
economic horizon. Continued political uncertainty will
hamper resumption of infrastructure mega-projects.
