However, the Parliament of Netherland consist of the private company groups, the capitalists and the merchants didn’t satisfied about the monopoly trade of Portuguese. Then, they assembled together and asked the concession to be permitted from the government to setup this group in terms of having enough power to trade in monopoly way with archipelago in East Asia and South East Asia including with colonialism this area too.

In B.E 2147, The United East India of Dutch had contacted with Ayutthaya through Pattani State or the upcountry of Ayutthaya Colony. On the other hand, the original trade base was in India and Chawa Erchipelago. However, Dutch still went forward to colonialism of the country groups in terms of tradingthe vital spices, such as peppers, cadamons, cloves and nutmegs. Thus, this country desired to expand its trade base to China and Japan by using the trade channel of Siam to pass by.

However, at that time the relationship pattern between Ayutthaya and Dutch was in uncertain way with conflicts of interests and monopoly trade of Ayutthaya. Moreover, it had the conflict until bringing the ships to close the mouth of water in Chao Praya river. Then, the King of Ayutthaya had sent the first team of ambassador to visit Europe. After that, Dutch has begun to setup the trade station in Ayutthaya in permanent way with the excellent leading system consisting of goods warehouse and large parking habour in B.E. 2176.

On the other hand, after it had determined the company policy, this company had been developed without having the problem of politics anymore. Finally, Dutch can remove Portuguese trade out South East Asia successfully, and it has the most influenced power in the world. Unfortunately, the trade role of Dutch had been finished with the politics problem inside Ayutthaya and economics problem of trade in Asia and Europe with a lot changing. Later, after Dutch has been seized by France, it took turn to depend on England until selling its businesses including of trade stations, and finally it has been out of the trade role in Asia.
