Embassy of Indonesia, Bangkok (Indonesian: Kedutaan Besar Republik Indonesia di Bangkok; Thai: สถานเอกอัครราชทูตประเทศอินโดนีเซียประจำประเทศไทย), a diplomatic mission of the Republic of Indonesia to the Kingdom of Thailand and concurrently accredited to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), is located at 600-602 Petchburi Road, Ratchadapisek, Ratchathewi District of Bangkok. The first Indonesian overseas mission in Bangkok was opened as the Indonesian Office (INDOFF) in 1947, which was promoted to Legation in 1949, and later Embassy in 1956.
Indonesia, formerly the Dutch East Indies, first opened its representative mission in Bangkok under the name of INDOFF in 1947, which was located at a small soi beside Si Lom Road and headed by Izak Mahdi. The building of INDOFF acted as a headquarter of Indonesian people's independent movement during the Indonesian National Revolution, and independence activists like Adam Malik, later Vice President of Indonesia, stayed and met here, too. On 27 December, 1949, about 1,000 Indonesians gathered at INDOFF to welcome the formal sovereignty transfer from the Dutch to the newly formed Republic of Indonesia, and INDOFF's status was promoted to Legation that year. Since January 1950 it moved a short distance to 349 Si Lom Road, and Malikuswari Muchtar Prabunegara was appointed as the new head of mission at the same year, whereas Mahdi was assigned to Beijing with the task of opening a new Indonesian mission there.
