THAILAND
    Thailand had a Europeanizing king at the end of the 19th century.  That was Rama V, Chulalongkorn, esteemed as the George Washington of Thailand, despite the 5000 years of previous history.  It is figured that if he had no succeeded in dragging his country toward the modern paradigm Thailand would have ended up a colony like Vietnam, Laos, etc.
