Created in february 2020 in preparation of the World Diplomacy Championship 2021 by Chris Sanderson (Battlefield Bangkok), Fabian Weiner (Ninive Game Store) & Lei Saarlainen (WDC Bangkok 2021).

The Bangkok Diplomacy Club aims to organize Diplomacy games and Diplomacy-style board games (Game of Thrones, Dune, ...).

A first game was organised in the Battlefield Bangkok Boardgame cafe in 2016 and won by Chris Sanderson.

Some games were organised by Tom Aikins at the American bar, but any traces of them have been lost.
