A benefit claimed by some for the Second Anglo-Burmese War which took place mostly in Thailand(1852)was the doubling of Bangkok sea trade.
One of the keys to an understanding of these Wars is an understanding of the British East India Company. The Company was the major tool of British Capital.
The British were most actively dominating Burmese trade and that of the Siamese by force of arms and control of the seas from about 1820 to nearly the turn of the century.

Brits have their good points.
We want the best for the peoples of SEA.
There are good reasons for the present government of Myanmar. With a variety of strong ethnic groups many with conflicting agendas, neither Burma nor Mayanmar are easy to govern.
