∙ 11y agoSeveral reasons. Partly is was because of the very clever manoeverings of the Siam King (King Munkut - Rama IV) - known outside thailand as the King in the King and I/Anna and the King (which is almost entirely fictitious by the way). The King cleverly played the British off against the other powers that be at the time (Britain was the supreame super-power then).
It also made sense for the imperial powers to have a place in Asia that was common ground (like Switzerland was during WW2 where enermies could meet on neutral ground). Siam was in the centre of the Indo-China trade route and a very important position at the time buffering the powers of British India/Burma, French Indo-China and the Dutch colonies; as well as China herself in the north.
Even so a fait bit of Thai land was seeded to these powers - Burma grew, Malaysia, Cambodia, etc.
