The Sikh community was estimated in 2006 to contain around 70,000 people, most of whom resided in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Pattaya, Phuket and Ubon Ratchathani.

[5] According to Sikhologists Louis E. Fenech and W. H. McLeod, Thailand's Sikhs are unique in the region in that they are mostly descended from Namdhari goldsmiths from the Pothohar.

[7] Sikhs in the Straits Settlements who successfully were granted this certificate migrated further on to areas like Sumatra, Borneo, and Siam.

[3] In 1913 (or the year 2456 according to the Buddhist calendar), with the continuing increase of the Sikh community, a new larger wooden house was leased for a long term at the corner of Phahurat and Chakraphet roads.

After considerable renovation and decoration, the Guru Granth Sahib was installed and religious prayers were conducted on a daily basis.

[11] As time passed, in 1979, the decision was made to renovate the Gurdwara and make it bigger to accommodate the increasing number of Sikhs.

Together the committee of Siri Guru Singh Sabha and the other Thai-Sikhs decided to construct a new Gurdwara at the same location.

In 1907, this group of Sikhs decided to set up a Gurdwara in Charoenrat Road, which still stands at the location and now occupies a space of about 240 square meters.

In 1933, a Sikh named Wariaam Singh, donated a piece of land and started construction of the Gurdwara.

On September 24, 1992 the foundation stone of the new Gurdwara was laid, gathering a large number of Sikh people from nearby provinces and Bangkok to witness the event.

On December 23, 1984, there was a parade held by the Sikh community through the town of Korat, to celebrate the opening ceremony of this Gurdwara.

These groups of Sikhs were also involved in the Indian National Army (INA) during the World War II.

During the colonial British period in Kelantan, which is adjacent to Thailand, many Sikh men living there married local Siamese women.
