The Embassy in Washington began its operation in 1901 as the Legation of Siam (then the official name of Thailand) with Minister Plenipotentiary as Chief of Mission. Its first office was located in Arlington, Virginia, before moving to Washington, D.C., in 1913.

This year marks the 50^th anniversary of the joining of Washington, DC and Bangkok, Thailand as sister cities.  The sister city agreement was signed on February 19, 1962, the first such relationship for both Washington, DC and Bangkok.
