The constitutional monarchy of Thailand (Thai ประเทศไทย, Kingdom of Thailand) in Southeast Asia with its capital Bangkok covers 513,115 km² including around 500 islands. Until 1939, the country, which was located roughly on the territory of today's state, was known as Siam. The state extends south-east of the last foothills of the Himalayas to the Malay Peninsula and surrounds the Gulf of Thailand, a marginal sea of the South China Sea. It borders Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Andaman Sea (part of the Indian Ocean) and the Gulf of Thailand.
