The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand (Chinese: 駐泰國台北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Tàiguó Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshì Chù) (Thai: สำนักงานเศรษฐกิจและวัฒนธรรมไทเปประจำประเทศไทย RTGS: Samnakngan Setthakit Lae Wattanatham Taipe Pracham Prathet Thai) is the representative office of Taiwan in Thailand, which functions as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations.
The Office has joint responsibility for Bangladesh with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India in New Delhi.
[6] Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Thailand Trade and Economic Office in Taipei.
[7] Until 1975, Taiwan, as the Republic of China, had an embassy in Bangkok, but this was closed after Thailand established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, leading to its replacement in September of that year by the Office of the Representative of China Airlines in Thailand.
[2] The office was upgraded in 1991, and renamed the Taipei Economic and Trade Center, before being renamed again as the Taipei Economic and Trade Office in 1992.
