1914

Thanat Khoman (also Thanad; ถนัด คอมันตร์;, 9 May 1914 – 3 March 2016) was a Thai diplomat and politician.

1939

Supplied with a scholarship from the Thai foreign ministry, he continued his studies in Bordeaux and Paris, earning degrees from the Institute of Higher International Studies (IHEI) and Sciences Po in 1939, as well as a doctor of law degree from the University of Paris in 1940.

After his return to Thailand, Thanat was obliged to join the diplomatic service, as the foreign ministry had financed his studies.

However, Thanat disagreed with what was perceived as a virtual Japanese occupation of Thailand and joined the Seri Thai ("Free Thai") resistance movement that was supported by the British Force 136 and the American OSS.

1945

1967

The choice of Bangkok as the founding place of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on 8 August 1967 was an expression of respect for his active role in the formation of this institution.
