The Diplomatic Correspondence between The Kingdom of <strong>Siam</strong> and The Castle of Batavia during the 17 th and 18 th centuries Foreword The diplomatic relations between Thailand, Indonesia and the Netherlands date back to the seventeenth century. After establishing a Dutch factory in Ayutthaya the <strong>Siam</strong>ese ruler Ekathotsarot sent an ambassador to Holland in September 1606. This remarkable event was highlighted in Dutch newspapers at the time. Following this, a treaty was signed in 1617. Looking at the archives from this early modern era, new documents and stories are slowly being unlocked and will shed new light on our past and the shared heritage between the three nations. The encounters between Asia and the West become more visible with a large and unique database, with references to more than eight thousand diplomatic letters from the 17 th and 18 th century archives of the Arsip Nasional Republik Indonesia (ANRI) (see figure 1). This database has been accessible on the internet since 2015 1 . The archival series called The Daily Journals of Batavia Castle contains a goldmine of historical information about the diplomatic relationships between the Dutch and numerous kings and rulers throughout the South East Asian region. This database publication is the result of a research project supported by ANRI, The Corts Foundation (TCF), Leiden University and several sponsorships. Diplomatic letters found in these archives are mostly translations of incoming and outgoing correspondence between the Castle and regional rulers, kings and sultans, emperors and other high officials.
