ISO 3166-1 - two-letter system, has many applications, most notably for Internet top-level domains. Standards derived from this code are: ISO 3166-2, codes for subdivisions such as states and provinces. ISO 3166-3, codes to replace obsolete alpha-2 codes. ISO 4217, codes for monetary units. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, a three-letter system. ISO 3166-1 numeric, a three-digit numerical system, is identical to that defined by the United Nations Statistical Division. A country or territory generally gets new alpha codes if its name changes, whereas a new numeric code is associated with a change of boundaries. Some codes in each series are reserved, for various reasons. ISO 3166-1 is not the only standard for country codes. The following is intended to be a complete ISO 3166-1 code list in alphabetical order by country name (encoding list). 004.

The first part of the code is the ISO 3166-1 country code TH for Thailand, the second part is two-digit-numeric (with trailing zeros). A special non-numeric code is used for Phatthaya. The purpose of this family of standards is to establish a worldwide series of short abbreviations for places, for use on package labels, containers and such. Anywhere where a short alphanumeric code can serve to clearly indicate a location in a more convenient and less ambiguous form than the full place name. US readers may wish to consider them as the equivalent of worldwide zip or postal codes. Within the Wikipedia, the codes from the country pages link to the pages for the locations they identify. The numbers are.
History of Cambodia - Southeast Asia to adopt religious ideas and political institutions from India and to establish centralized kingdoms encompassing large territories. The earliest known kingdom in the area, Funan, flourished from around the first to the sixth century A.D. It was succeeded by Chenla, which controlled large areas of modern Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The golden age of Khmer civilization, however, was the period from the ninth to the thirteenth century, when the kingdom of Kambuja, which gave Kampuchea, or Cambodia, its name, ruled large territories from its capital in the region of Angkor in western Cambodia. Under Jayavarman VII (1181-ca. 1218), Kambuja reached its zenith of political power and cultural creativity. Following Jayavarman VII's death, Kambuja experienced gradual decline. Important factors were the aggressiveness of neighboring peoples (especially the Thai, or.

Early History of Laos - notably the southern Silk Road. Culturally, this polyethnic, hierarchical, and militarized state was to have a great influence on later societies in Indochina, transmitting the Tantric Buddhism of Bengal to Laos, Thailand, and the Shan state, and possibly Cambodia, and the political ideology of the Dhammaraja (protector of Buddhism). Nan-chao was organized administratively into ten prefectures called kien. This term seems to be the origin of place-names keng (for example, Kengtung), chiang (for example, Chiang Mai), and xieng (for example, Xieng Khouang). Moreover, the population and army of Nan-chao were organized in units of 100, 1,000, and 10,000, a form later found in Indochina. Also, the title chao (prince), appears to have been of Nan-chao origin. Another branch of this same migration began at the headwaters of the Nam Ou and.
