French in the east, Brits in the west & south. Siamese King let his his country as buffer.
Korea wasn't colonized by western, either.
Siam's diplomatic efforts. They made England and France fight each other.
Nepal and Mongol were also independent. Those countries were a buffer between two western forces. Just like Thailand. To not be colonized, you have to be modernized like Japan or being a buffer.

Japan avoided colonization initially by being a fuck out of the way place. As did Korea.
It only faced the threat of colonization when America came knocking in as USA was cockblocked from the East Asian trading scene by European monopolies in Chinese markets.
Thankfully for Japan, a bunch of Southern Rednecks rebelled and the Civil War strangled US colonial ambitions for 50 years.
And Tom Cruise became the last Samurai.

Western people were more interested in seeing the country out of the hands of other Western people
>>898931
It was a buffer zone, they played it well.
>>898931
superior to whites
>>898931
Fear of ladyboys and giving up the useful bits of land in treaties/playing the French and British off each other
Why did no country try to colonize Japan? They had poor military then.

Even more humiliatingly, they got colonized by other Asians.
Literally how shit do you have to be for that to happen

It's an archipelago that isn't on any trade routes and doesn't have much exploitable natural resources. Why fight for that when there are spice islands down south you can make a killing off?
Why didn't the Norwegians colonise Antartica?
>>899820
Korea had been a dependency of China just like Mongol.

Thailand has been thoroughly colonized, just not in the traditional sense. Millions of foreign dicks have passed in and out of Thai women, more so than any other Asian nation save for maybe the Philippines.
