Thailand first participated at the Olympic Games in 1952, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Thailand has also participated in the Winter Olympic Games since 2002. To date, only one person, Prawat Nagvajara, was allowed to represented Thailand at the Winter Olympics. Although they have had many winter sport athletes qualify for their respective sports..the NOC has chosen not to send them at this time.
Thai athletes have won a total of twenty-one medals, mostly in boxing. Thailand's most successful Games to date were the 2004 Games in Athens, where they won eight medals.
The National Olympic Committee for Thailand was created in 1948 and recognized in 1950.
