| Trade with Spain |
| During the reign of King Naresuan, Spain sent its diplomats to develop friendly relations concerning trade with Ayuddhaya in 2137 B.E. (1594 A.D.) with the purpose of trading and propagating religious beliefs. King Naresuan was interested in trading with Spain, especially concerning weapons and fire guns used in warfare. He therefore granted an order to send a letter to the Spanish Commissioner in the Philippines for trade concessions. Later, the commercial relations deteriorated because Spain interfered with the conflicts between Ayuddhaya and Cambodia, and this caused great displeasure to King Naresuan. Furthermore, since profits received from trading with Spain were not very high, Thai-Spanish trade eventually came to a halt. |
