ABSTRACT
Sikhs are the largest single community amongst Indians in Thailand. They are devout Sikhs maintaining their Sikh identity and are well-respected in the country. They are generous in their contribution to social causes and maintain good relations with the king of Thailand and the Royal household. The Thai Princess visited the Gurdwara during the tercentenary celebrations of the Khalsa. When Giani Arjan Singh, who had been the Chief Priest of the local Gurdwara for forty-two years, died in December 1993, he was honoured by a Royal salute at his cremation. This is one indication of high esteem in which the Sikh community is held in Thailand.
