Answer:

Thailand

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the nations of the Southeast Asia, Thailand alone remained independent continuously among Philippines, Cambodia and Burma (Myanmar).

Philippines was colonized by Spain from the year 1565 to 1898 and then by the United States of America from 1898 to 1946.

Cambodia was colonized by France and Burma was colonized by the British.

Only Thailand had only survived the threat of the European colonization by the centralizing reforms made by the King Chulalongkorn. And also the USA and France decided that it Thailand will be neutral country so that it does not form a conflict between them.
