Overview
The Australian Embassy in Bangkok is Australia's diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Thailand, located on Wireless Road in the Lumphini district — the same diplomatic quarter as the US Embassy. Australia and Thailand maintain a multifaceted bilateral relationship spanning trade, education, development cooperation, and defence. Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for Australian travellers and a major hub for Australian expatriates in Southeast Asia. The embassy is complemented by the Australian Consulate-General in Phuket, which serves the large number of Australian visitors to southern Thailand, and provides consular outreach services in Chiang Mai by appointment.Read moreRead less
