The reason that this topic came up is because the conflict in the south.
Thailand means land of Thai.
Which represent to the race of Thai only.
While nowadays Thailand has many ethnicities besides Thai.
There are Chinese, Khmer, Melayu, etc.
The name "Siam" in the past conclude all races in the kingdom. (Mon, Laos, Khmer, Melayu, etc.)
So if it is changed back to be Siam then it would represent all races and ethnics in the country.
My own opinion as Thai people ( Thai race), it does not matter to me which name to use. It does not change anything.
Because in my idea the conflict in the south is deeper than just solve by changing the name.
