the words Isan received this name in 1893.... this is when the land of the royal million elephants (modern Laos) was given to France by Siam (modern Thailand) on the left side of the Mekong River!!!! the words isan - this translates as “have pity” - it’s like a prodigal son from another country became another country...usually the older generations are earlier, if people are from Laos, then they say “Thai Isan”, and for Thais they say “Lao Isan”
Wow. That’s very interesting to learn thank you. I’ll see if my wife is old enough to know this. I knew parts of Lao had been turned into Thailand (around the Nong Khai area) but I never learned more about it.
@@Tyler_Thailand you have visited Laos, but you have not visited the ancient walled city of Vientiane which they pass through the Xiseng Mai region (now Thailand) opposite Vientiane, which used to be the city of Vientiane!!!! Now outside of Chiang Mai (Thailand) there are still borders between the Royal Lan Xang (Royal Million of Elephants or Laos) and Siam (Thailand)...... Laos used to be bigger than Thailand, and the land of Laos was round and Vientiane was the very center, and not the border with Thailand as it is now!!!! they moved the capital from Luang Prabang to Vientiane due to fear of invasion from Burma!!! At school I studied history well and I like the subject of history...!!!!
@@Tyler_Thailand Many people ask the question why Vientiane has such a small population, although Vientiane has been the capital of Laos for more than 460 years...because Vientiane was burned 3 times by Siam and every time they burned the city of Vientiane, they evacuated the entire population of Vientiane to Siam (Thailand), so that the city would no longer rebel. and the modern population of Vientiane are emigrants from other provinces of Laos....
@@vientianetv7384 wow. Yeah I did not know that. History is usually dark in every country. The people of Vientiane were so polite and welcoming though. I’m glad the people of Laos are so warm hearted even with a dark past
@@vientianetv7384 I hated history when I was a student, but now as I’m older it’s probably my favorite thing to learn about life. So many things happened, that help create the world we live in today
