Do you know the name of what Thailand was before it was named Thailand?

Siam is the correct answer.  Think of the movie called something like "Anna and the King of Siam" - Siam was what is Thailand today.

Why don't you post your question on some Thai boards. I was stationed in  Asia in the 70's and my wife is from Khorat. My understanding is that the Records center had a major fire and lost alot of records in the late 60's. BTW my memory is of Khorat having USMC and AF. \n\nAlot of former military now live in Udon Thani, Nong Khai and Khorat. try your post on pattayasecrets.com or other Thai board were Americans and ex military post.

No. Where did you hear that? I have been to several temples in Asia, some Shaolin, but never heard of this before.

Actually, the official name of Bangkok is\nKrung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit\n\n(or กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยามหาดิลก ภพนพรัตน์ ราชธานีบุรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์ มหาสถาน อมรพิมาน อวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยะ วิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์).\n\nwhich means "The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn." Local school children are taught the full name, although few can explain its meaning because many of the words are archaic. Most Thais who do recall the full name do so as a result of its use in a popular song (กรุงเทพมหานคร/Krung Thep Mahanakhon by อัสนี-วสันต์ โชติกุล/Asanee-Wasan Chotikul 1989) and will often recount it by recalling the song at the same time, much in the same way that English speakers might sing the alphabet song while reciting the English alphabet.\n\nThe full name of the city is listed by Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest place name.\n\n\nAnd Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, with 58 letters, isn't even the longest train station in Brittain. That honour belongs to Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion (I can't write the whole name, click on my second source to confirm that).

It would really help if you gave more information. Were you born to American citizens in Thailand? Are you an Immigrant and need you BC? Were you born in the U.S. to Thai Citizens?\n\nHere is the URL to the Thai Embassy Registrations section. It's the best I can do without more info.

Mu supposedly existed before Atlantis.   I have heard if you cup your palm (one or the other) like you were going to drink water from it and you see a capital M in the creases, you are an old soul and came from the land of Mu.   Lots of interesting stuff out there about Mu and Atlantis.

I remember Peter Withe the scorer of our European cup winning goal went on to work in Asia but i think it was as the Thailand national team coach. I think he has worked over in Asia with other teams but i am not sure which ones.

Thailand is +7 GWT (Greenwich Mean Time also called UTC - Universal Time Coordinated).  Texas is -6 with one hour  for daylight savings time making it -5 currently. That is a current difference of 12 hours.  The rest of the year Thailand is 13 hours ahead. (this is for Central Time Zone)

Thailand- it used to be Siam.  Infact the average alley cats are Siamese in Thailand.
