		Ayutthaya was friendly towards foreign traders, including the Chinese, Indians, Japanese and Persians (for contacts between Safavid Iran and Ayutthaya see Christoph Marcinkowski), and later the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, British and French, permitting them to set up villages outside the city walls.
