It was on this exact day, December 10, in 1621, that a Danish merchant ship arrived in Siam and made the first recorded contact between Denmark and Thailand.

Ever since the historic relations between the two countries have stood the test of time and after 400 years of close friendship and cooperation, a new chapter is beginning with a shared goal of building economies and societies that are healthier, greener, and more inclusive.

From the Danish seafarers, and the Siamese who warmly welcomed them 400 years ago to today’s decision-makers, there has been a singular shared vision: To contribute to richer and more fruitful commercial and personal relations to further a relationship to the benefit of both nations – ????????????????????, ???????????????????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????????????.

This day also concludes the Danish Embassy’s 400-year celebration campaigns; “On this day” and “Did you know”.

We hope you have enjoyed the many stories about Thai-Danish cooperation from the last 400 years and we would like to thank the many organizations and individuals who have contributed to these campaigns.
