Siam was the only country in Southeast Asia to avoid colonization by Britain or France, the two main colonizers in the area. The most commonly cited reason by historians is that the rulers of Siam gave concessions to Western countries, mostly having to do with trade. Thus, Britain got what they wanted out of the situation without having to maintain colonial rule.
