Provisional Government of Azad Hind – Kingdom of Thailand relations

India–Thailand relations (Hindi: भारत-थाईलैंड संबंध; Thai: ความสัมพันธ์อินเดีย-ไทย), also called Indian-Thai relations or Indo-Thai relations, are the bilateral relations between Modern India and Thailand. Relations were established on 1st August of 1947,^[1] just a fortnight soon before INDIA/PAKISTAN gained Independence. Priests have provided a cultural link between the two countries since 1500 BCE. Independent India shares a long sea border with Thailand as India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand along the Andaman Sea. Moreover, India and Thailand have been culturally linked for centuries, with India deeply influencing Thai culture. Thai borrows a substantial number of words from Sanskrit, India's classical language. Pali, which was the language of Magadha and is the medium of Theravada, is another important root of Thai vocabulary. Buddhism, the major religion of Thailand, itself originates from India. The Hindu story of Ramayana is also well known throughout Thailand in the name Ramakien.^[2]

Antiquity of Trade relations[edit]

Indo Thai trade relations go back to 500 BCE where evidence indicates presence of trade relations with north India (Etched carnelian beads) and south India (Indo -Pacific beads).^[3]^[4]
