The first references to Armenians in Thailand date back to the 17th century. According to the written sources of King Nara of Siam (1656-1688), a considerable number of Armenians settled in Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam in 1350-1767.

References to local Armenians are also found in the pages of Adrienne Lune's monograph "History of the French Representation in Siam 1662-1811,” as well as in the book "The History of the Siamese Prime Minister Constantine and the Last Siam Revolution."

In 2003 there were 40-50 Armenians living in Thailand, concentrated in Bangkok. In 2013 their number increased to 120-130. They are mainly engaged in the jewelry, textile and construction industries.

There is no Armenian church or national institution in Thailand. Armenians are united around the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Armenia, which is active in preserving and promoting the Armenian culture and collaborating with the Armenian communities of China, Singapore and Malaysia.

To meet the spiritual needs of local Armenians, the Diocese of Australia and New Zealand visits the community twice a year. Bangkok Evangelical Churches are used for religious ceremonies.
