Thais in Japan consist of Thai migrants that come to Japan, as well as their descendants. In December 2023, there were 61,771 Thais living in Japan. [2]
There were some contacts between the Ryūkyū Kingdom and the Ayutthaya Kingdom which dates far as the 15th century. Some trade between the two countries were successfully done during the 17th century, as the Japanese community in Ayutthaya began. However, when Japan made a policy of sakoku in 1639, the Japanese community began to fade out. In 1887, Japan and Siam began a new history with the Declaration of Amity and Commerce. [3]
