Siam is a formable nation that can be formed by any nation is in the Siamese culture group. Ayutthaya can form Siam with the mission Royal Absolutism if the Leviathan DLC is enabled, however, this takes exceptionally long - deep into the 1600s - as it requires development of 500 and absolutism of 75. A materially faster alternative is to form Siam starting as Lan Xang, a process which could take as little as 10 years, as it requires only five additional provinces three of which are required cores.

Having an Eastern religion means Siam may have tributaries from which it can earn monarch power, ducats or manpower. One of the biggest benefits of such tributaries is that they take no aggressive expansion and act as safe harbours for one's fleet during wars (assuming they are not in the same war).

As Ayuthaya better do mission tree: Puppeting Khmer, Mallaca, Lan Ma. That will boost economy, mostly trade. Stay being a Tributary of Ming: There will be a lot of AE and all neighbors are also Tributary of Ming. When Lan Xang dissolves, if gone far in the mission tree, will get Subjigation CB on all Lao countries. If not, just attack them by claims. Now need to swipe culture to form Lan Xang, who can create Siam. If there's posibiity, earn all bonuses, that gives this tag. After all, you form Siam. Be cautious: This makes you no longer a Tributary of Ming.
