From what I know (or remember) during my history classes in school, Thailand was sort of like the Switzerland of the Far East, in terms of its stance on war. It never taken sides in any of the world's biggest wars. I remember for World War 2, it allowed troops free passage within its lands. And not much is heard about the cruelties that the locals suffered under the Japanese as compared to the Chinese, British and Australians.
