A recent fight between a Thai and a Filipino transgender woman leads into a look at where that fighting spirit comes from. Find out how Siam became Thailand in 1948, how Thai schools teach history and national pride, why monuments like Victory Monument matter, and what the lyrics of the Thai national anthem really mean.

Hospitality, Muay Thai and a strong sense of collective identity all shape how Thais respond when they feel their country is threatened.
