Abstract

This article attempts to put into perspective significant turns, as well as critical issues, in Thailand's foreign policy towards the Indochinese states, particularly Vietnam. It argues that Thai foreign policy towards Indochina has always been a reaction to the in volvement of major powers ? first, the colonial powers, then the United States during the Vietnam War, and then China during the war in Cambodia. Given its intimate interests in the region, and its historical role on mainland Southeast Asia, Thailand, in the post-Cold War period, is trying to formulate a more independent policy towards its eastern neighbours, only to be faced with an increasingly complicated international environment. With more players and different agendas in Indochina, Bangkok's "traditional" role is likely to be marginalized.
