Initially, the Thai Government tasked the Ambassadors of Thailand in Karachi (Pakistan), and Vienna (Austria), to also be accredited to Turkey.

Also, Ambassador Charun P. Isarangkul na Ayuthaya, who also covered Turkey from Vienna during 1970-1971, went on to become, twice, Thailand's minister of foreign affairs (1971-1972 and 1973-1975) and, later, privy councilor in the Reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

During this time, as a result of apprehension over Soviet intentions[10] toward Vietnam, Thailand maintained close economic and security ties with Turkey.
