Plural of thai, referring to people from Thailand or relating to Thailand's culture, language, or traditions.
From 'Thai,' which comes from the Thai language word 'ไทย' (Thai) meaning 'free.' The word entered English through French colonial contact with Southeast Asia in the 19th century.
The word 'Thai' literally means 'free' in the Thai language itself, and Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country that was never colonized—its name is basically the nation's declaration of independence built right into it.
