Omani traders, as part of Arab traders, developed healthy tie with the Siamese and even facilitated to the establishment of a Persian/Arab Muslim community that would remain in Thailand for centuries.[1] This resulted with both Oman and Thailand became commonly prosperous in their medieval histories, respectively, attracted other Muslim traders to Thailand as well.[2]

Oman and Thailand would soon establish relations with the ascend of Qaboos bin Said al Said as Sultan of Oman in 1980.

Being two similar royal states, Oman and Thailand have sought to take advantages from this link. Since 1980s, trade between two countries increased.[3] Two countries have engaged in political consultation since 2017.[4]
