Editing Thai language (section)

=== Portuguese-origin ===
The Portuguese were the first Western nation to arrive in what is modern-day Thailand in the 16th century during the [[Ayutthaya Kingdom|Ayutthaya period]]. Their influence in trade, especially weaponry, allowed them to establish a community just outside the capital and practise their faith, as well as exposing and converting the locals to [[Christianity]]. Thus, Portuguese words involving trade and religion were introduced and used by the locals.
