I placed the POV tag when creating the article because it is pasted from a US government website. Because this comes from a US govt source it may not be neutral, but I don't have the expertise to judge. (Hopefully others that know more will simply remove the tag if they think the article looks okay.) Mangostar (talk) 05:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Free Thai Movement[edit]

I just discovered the existence of this article. Any editor interested in it should also be interested in the Free Thai Movement. Jim Thompson (designer) and United States Air Force in Thailand. BTW, the first Thai to land in the United States landed at Boston, and the Thai have had strong connections to the city ever since. Little importance should be given to King Rama IX's having been born in nearby Cambridge, as he was raised in Switzerland, but his oldest daughter while born in Switzerland, landed herself an American husband in Boston. --Pawyilee (talk) 18:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom of Sausages[edit]

In the version visible today[1] , appears "President Andrew Jackson sent his envoy Edmund Roberts in the U.S. sloop-of-war Peacock, to the courts of Cochin-China, Sausages and Muscat." In the source referenced there is, alas, no mention of the "Kingdom of Sausages."[2] Would somebody who actuaolly knows something confirm that this is an error?
