Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok (Шаблон:Lang-sv; Шаблон:Lang-th) is Sweden's diplomatic mission in Thailand. The ambassador is also accredited to Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. Sweden also has four honorary consulates in Thailand: in Phuket, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Hua Hin.[1]
History
Diplomatic relations between Sweden and Thailand were established in 1868.[2] Between 1931 and 1959, Sweden had a non-resident envoy accredited to Thailand from Japan and China. In July 1959, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Thai governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. In connection with this, Tord Hagen was appointed Sweden's first ambassador in Bangkok.[3]
