Dutch East India Company Merchants at the Court of Ayutthaya: Dutch Perceptions of the Thai Kingdom, c. 1604-1765
Bhawan Ruangsilp
This study focuses on the perceptions of the merchants of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) of the Thai royal court during their extended residence in Ayutthaya. Basing herself on a wealth of Dutch primary sources, the author shows how trade, politics and diplomacy shaped a unique relationship based on 'partnership' and a 'sense of differences'. The book contributes to expanding the study of Ayutthaya's history-known for its scarcity of indigenous sources- with the help of contemporary Dutch views.
