Years: 1684 - 1827
The Dutch had used force in 1664, however, to exact a treaty granting them extraterritorial rights as well as freer access to trade.

At the urging of his foreign minister, the Greek adventurer Constantine Phaulkon, Narai turns to France for assistance.

French engineers construct fortifications for the Thai and build a new palace at Lop Buri for Narai.

In addition, French missionaries engage in education and medicine and bring the first printing press into the country.

Louis XIV's personal interest is aroused by reports from missionaries suggesting that Narai might be converted to Christianity.
