Embassy Library

The library of the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington DC is one of “specialization”, with emphasis on collections of books, magazines andother printed and digital materials relating to Thailand and Thai- US relations.

These books have been gathered gradually over a long period of time, some of which came in as early as pre-World War II.  However, at the beginning, they had not been sorted and classified as “library” materials. Hence, they were not easily accessible for the public at the time.

 In 2008, on the occasion of the celebration of the 175th Anniversary of Thai – US relations, the Embassy initiated a project to set up an Embassy’s library, with a goal to have a proper library that will serve as decent depository of books on Thailand and Thai – US relations, for the benefits of the Embassy’s officials, researcher and other individuals, who may be interested in the subjects.

The Embassy’s chancery building, located at 1024 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20007.  Among its 1,400 books and records, most of them are related to Thai history, Thai arts and literature, Buddhism, Monarchy and Thai – US relations, some of which could be classified as rare and of great historical and literary values.
