"thai language" = "pasa tai"

"Thailand" = muang tai or pratet tai

"thai person" = "kon tai"

"thai" (general adjective) = "tai"

The word 'Thai' means freedom or independent in the Thai language. Many people like this definition because it reminds us that Thailand was the only Southeast Asian country able to escape the grip of Western Imperialism.

Thai people have called themselves Thai for hundreds of years, referring to their country as Muang Thai. But the country name was officially changed from Siam (the name that Europeans used to refer to Muang Thai) to the more appropriate name of Thailand in 1939 by P.M. Pibun Sonkram.
