This year marks the 175th anniversary of the establishment of formal relations between the United States and Thailand. This special griendship goes back to March 20, 1833 when the United States and Thailand, then, Siam, signed the Treaty of Amity and Commerce. The Treaty of 1833 was the United States' first treaty with a country in Asia, making Thailand truly our oldest friend in the region.
