The history of Pakistanis in Thailand is based much before the independence when hundreds of people from regions of current-day Pakistan left for Thailand, then known as Siam.[3]
Most are concentrated in and around areas of Bangkok. Along with Indians, they are part of the much larger South Asian community in the country.
