Thailand has been a quiet but faithful ally in the war on Terror

Thailand has been a quiet but faithful ally since the end of WWII,
(except for a brief period in the early 70's when communist lead students took over.)

Thailand has an interesting history, and is one of the few Asian nations never to be conquered by another local or foreign power, if I recall correctly.

They live in a tough neighborhood and value their freedom. Who else are they going to cast their cards in with? The Chinese? The Russians? The French?
