This office is the official office which represents the Government of Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC) in the Kingdom of Thailand. Due to political factor, namely “One China” policy that the People’s Republic of China had forced Thailand to adopt, the ROC and Thailand could not continue diplomatic ties since 1st July 1975. However, because of the traditional friendship between the Thais and the people in Taiwan, and to keep substantial relations including granting visas and so forth, both sides agreed to set up offices at Bangkok and Taipei respectively.
