Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Saudi Arabia–Thailand relations (Arabic: العلاقات السعودية التايلندية, Thai: ความสัมพันธ์ซาอุดีอาระเบีย–ไทย) refers to the current and historical relations between Saudi Arabia and Thailand. Saudi Arabia has an embassy in Bangkok and Thailand has an embassy in Riyadh but representation is at the chargé d'affaires rather than ambassadorial level. However Saudi Arabia and Thailand aim to restore the relations between their two nations.[1] Relations between the two countries were established in 1957 and hundreds of thousands of Thais went to Saudi Arabia to work.[2] The historically friendly and strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and Thailand has deteriorated significantly following the Blue Diamond Affair. Although regardless of relation status, Saudi Arabia and Thailand have high trade between two nations (see § Economic Relations). In recent years Saudi Arabia and Thailand have shown intent to repair the relations between the two kingdoms.[1] On 26 January 2022, both countries announced they restored full diplomatic relations and would appoint ambassadors.[3]
