Siamese embassy to France (1686)

Kosa Pan was accompanied by two other Siamese ambassadors, Ok-luang Kanlaya Ratchamaitri and Ok-khun Si Wisan Wacha,[3] and by the Jesuit Father Guy Tachard.

The mission landed at Brest, France before continuing its journey to Versailles, constantly surrounded by crowds of curious onlookers.

Kosa Pan's great interest in French maps and images was noted in a contemporary issue of the Mercure Galant.

[4] The embassy brought many gifts to present to Louis XIV, including gold, tortoise shells, fabrics, carpets, more than 1,500 pieces of porcelain, and lacquer furniture.

[8] After the French Revolution and its repudiation of foreign luxury, the textiles were named "Toiles des Charentes" or cottons of Provence.
