You have to split two words, Thai & land.
The meaning of Thai is " Freedom"
The meaning of land is " Country, area or ground"
So the meaning of Thailand is " The land of freedom"
Pround to say that Thailand is the only country around the South East Asia that never been "colonised" by Western or America. Also our present H.M. The King of Thailand is the king that sitting on the Throne longest (60 years) amongst all H.M. The Kings around the world.

Thailand was previously known as Siam, which was the country's official name until May 11, 1949. The word Thai means "freedom" in the Thai language and is also the name of the majority Thai ethnic group.
