    Now I'm thinking. That isn't the answer I have but is it possible that my answer could be wrong?

    It was a bit of an educated guess tbh. I think it's around that time seeing as the war ended then. BUT, Thailand has never been colonised by any other country, so I could be wrong.

    I still think it's sometime during the period when maps were being re-drawn in Asia and Africa, so between 1939 and 1949.

    I'd go for later in the period...

    It is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It is significant because it is the longest place name in Britain. NB: It is not the longest place name in the world.
