` after it ended by revolution. It is common sense. And Thailand is kingdom, not empire. # The state had consisted of other kingdoms (or empires), had forked and joined by time so its status was ambiguous. However, most textbooks in Thailand teach their students with nationalism. They only says the state had been ruled by only kings. But, in fact, only few leaders could be considered as emperors. # We have many pointview on which period we could called it as Siam. This article focuses after got free from Khmer Empire although it had not been the single state through time. Some suggests that it should have begun since the Chakri dynasty and should have ended by the revolution because people before the dynasty had not called their country as Siam yet.     ==Add other article languages== I can't add other languages please help add other languages article. I want add other languages such Japanese,Arabic,Dutch and other languages in this article name Siam Empire. i want someone to help add other article on this article.    11:43 4 October 2009 (UTC)  == Title == Please remove ``Empire`` from its title. We must call it only ``Siam``. Thwiki is likely to approach this way. We don't call it neither kingdom nor empire any more.     Category:Mid-importance Southeast Asia articles Category:Unknown-importance Thailand articles Category:WikiProject Thailand articles Category:B-Class Southeast Asia articles  == Merge suggestion ==  Suggesting merge to History of Thailand, which much of this article already duplicates. Siam was not a single distinct political entity, but rather a name used by foreign, mostly western, contemporaries to refer to the Thai nation since the Ayutthaya Kingdom up until the change of the name to Thailand. (Sukhothai was regarded as distinct from Siam, which at the time referred to Ayutthaya, according to Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit's A History of Thailand.)     == What is this? ==  This the worst article on the english wikipedia concerning Thailand, it needs to be deleted. All the facts are already in other articles and there is absolutely no need for this article's existence at all. It should be deleted as soon as possible. As a Thai the name 'Siam Empire' itself is ridiculous no such nation state ever existed. The people in the area and the land itself is called Siamese and Siam respectively, in turn they were ruled by various centers of power which ever one is more dominant militarily at the time- but never a concept of a single state, only of successive states which copy the traditions of others before it. In Thai itself no self respecting historians would describe the various 'Krungs' (e.g. Krung Sukhothai, Krung Si Ayutthaya, Krung Thonburi, Krung Rattanakosin) as an 'Empire' only as 'Kingdoms'. Please delete this article as soon as possible it is completely historically incorrect and unnecessary.     :But I think it is worth to describe what the word ``Siam`` is as they have its own articles in many languages including Thai. We may merge history section to others but we should remain some etymology section and the reason why this name was obsoleted. One who wrote ``Siam Empire`` instead of only ``Siam`` caused problem that we discuss today. And the article now cannot be renamed back.    ::I agree completely, and and the article should be about that (the etymology), but to make it into a narrative historical article is very wrong, and a little bit embarrassing to say the least. I propose we delete all the repeated information here, add the other information to the page that is needed and change the page into a direct (with some additions) of the Thai wiki page on 'Siam', they have a very good article there.   `
