GOSPEL OPPORTUNITY IN THE
HEART OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

Thailand, which means “land of the free,” was known as Siam until 1939. It rests in the heart of Southeast Asia
and is the only country in that region never taken over by a European power. A revolution in 1932 led to a
constitutional monarchy. The king is the leader of the country and also appoints a Prime Minister picked from
among the members of the House of Representatives.
