The Russo-Siamese Relations in the Reign of King Chulalongkorn

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to explore the origins of the relationship between the two royal courts of Russia and Siam as well as the legacy of the Russo-Siamese relations with regard to the Russification process and Siamification process.
Through primary records from the Thailand’s National Archives, books, and journals, this research will lead to the new discoveries of the history of Russo-Siamese relations which still remain reserved for over one-hundred and twelve years since the two great
Kings met.
