king of thailand

The king of Thailand and the head of state . Currently, the Zhangli dynasty has been continued since 1782 , but has been converted into a constitutional monarchy after the 1932 Siam Revolution . Rama III of the Zhangli dynasty is the current king.

The king of Thailand must be a Buddhist , and non-Buddhists can never inherit the throne.[1] Going to a temple and practicing meditation is an essential rite of passage, and once you complete the long training, you will be crowned king. Even in the 21st century, the King of Thailand is still in the position of living Buddha .

Wangwang Rama 9 years old After dying in October 2016, Bumi Phone, Adunya, was a public state, and the director of the secretary was temporarily regent .

Unlike the former king of Pumi Phone, who had been respected for 70 years, the current king Wachi Lalon braids, and local young people began to have antagonism against the royal family and the military. If you slander, you will be caught in disrespect, so you use an anonymous site like Twitter.

Thai people not only respect the royal family, but also regard it as sacred. Portraits of the king are displayed throughout the country and receive public support.

As the king of King Bhumi Phone has been reigned for a long time, the authority has been greatly in Thailand as the king has been firmly in place while many political forces and coup d'etat. In accordance with Article 112 of the Criminal Code, the crime of blasphemy is 15 years in prison . In fact, diplomatic frictions were held because they arrested foreign tourists who had been graffiti on the signboard that King Bhumi phone smiled and sentenced him to imprisonment. Fortunately, most of them were only deported overseas with the king's 'mercy' decision. The reason why the Thailand Travel Guidebook is a praise is the praise of the king because of the critical corner is for at least three years in prison.

Thai diplomats living abroad are also subject to Thai law as civil servants, so they react sensitively to criticism of the King. This is because if you are accused of neglecting caution, it will be difficult to maintain your status. Joo Seong- ha, a famous North Korean defector- turned-journalist , saw portraits of the king and people bowing to them all over the streets during his trip to Thailand and posted an article comparing them to the idolization of Kim Il-sung . The Thai Embassy sent an official letter saying, 'Our Majesty is not like that!' #

This kind of law is called Lese-Majesty or Lese -Majesty, and it remains in constitutional monarchies in Western Europe and there have been recent rulings. However, in Thailand, the sentences are much harsher than in Europe, and the country is very sensitive to criticism of the king, reaching the level of suppression of freedom of expression. The state monitors the social media of its citizens living abroad, and if they criticize the king, they are sentenced to a harsh sentence of 20 years in prison, almost the same as murder, and simply burning a photo is sentenced to a minimum of 3 years in prison and a maximum of 15 years in prison, seriously threatening freedom of expression. Currently in progress

Nevertheless, the Thai Constitutional Court of Thailand's Constitutional Court of Criminal Court, Article 112 of the Penal Court, who is in prison for blasphemy against the constitution of the King's blasphemy, will violate the constitutional constitution, and Article 112 of the Criminal Court is a provision that specifically specifies Article 8 of the Constitution, which defines the king's security. It has been judged that freedom can be enjoyed within the defined scope.

In fact, regardless of legal issues or politics, it is best not to swear at the king even in private. Because Thai people have deep affection and respect for the royal family, the level of criticism they have for politicians in other countries is different. King Bhumibol was a great elder whom all Thai people respected, as he was reputed to have outstanding ability and great personality. It's not that the law says you can't swear, but he is a person that most Thai people sincerely respect.[2]

The current King Maha Vajiralongkorn has a lower reputation than his predecessor, but even the younger generation, who ate foreign food and did not receive proper help from the royal family, may have critical thoughts, but cannot criticize in public for fear of punishment and disadvantage unless it is a protest. The conservative upper class and some rural residents have benefited greatly from the royal family, so they may try to impose disadvantages on foreigners, especially since the power of the upper class is connected to the royal family. Even in the face of a class of people who are conscious of criticizing the king, some may view swearing at him as denying or insulting Thai culture and tradition itself.

The king's photographs can be found everywhere, including bills , calendars , road billboards, taxis, and buses. If you make a mistake asking, "Who are you to hear ?" And you can step on the bill that you will pick up a bill that falls on the street, and you can be caught as a crime of blasphemy. Even though it is a constitutional monarchy, the political authority given to the king is strong enough to control public opinion. #

Even if the military's coup is successful, the king is not the subject of a coup, and the coup, which has not been approved by the king, fails. Thanks to this, he caused a coup in the military and said that the king did not do it. It is clear that the whole people will happen with the guns. In front of the king, he is almost flat on the floor and greets it, which is the same rules that apply to the prime minister. Even the Korean company that entered the local market kneeled and showed sincerity when the king and the royal family visited.

The photo above was taken on the night of September 20, 1992. At that time, the conflict between Thailand's Sutta Krayun regime, which came to power through a military coup, and the pro-democracy protesters led by former Bangkok mayor Jamrong Srimuang, famous for the Blue White Ritual, intensified , resulting in bloodshed. As the situation worsened , King Bhumibol entered the palace and made both of them kneel down to mediate the situation. When the king motioned for them to come closer, they both crawled on their knees.[4] I didn't even dare to raise my head until permission was given. On the far left is former mayor Jamrong and on the right is Prime Minister Suchinda. Former mayor Jamrong was arrested by armed soldiers of the military regime at the city site on September 18, but was released two days later upon a summons from the king, and the soldiers treated him courteously. On this day, King Bhumibol said, “We must conduct democratic politics for the people.” With those words, he scolded Prime Minister Suchinda, and on that day, Suchinda's government fell from power. This is an incident that shows the king's influence on Thai politics.

Thailand was an absolute monarchy until 1932, and the king was literally a god. However, while the Chakri dynasty was showing temporary incompetence and harshness , the Siamese Revolution succeeded on June 24, 1932, ushering in a new period of change. The ringleaders were mid-level officials Pridi Phanomyong and General Flaek Phibunsongkhram . Due to their revolution, the Chakri dynasty, which had been strong for 150 years, temporarily lost its power, and King Rama VII fled to England and died there. His younger brother , King Bhumibol, who succeeded King Rama VIII, who died mysteriously at a young age, was also initially controlled by the military and his successors, but gradually took power and became the victor.

However, because the king's power is so strong, he is not free from criticism that he cannot speak freely about the royal family or that it hinders democracy. Additionally, there were rumors that King Bhumibol had implicitly agreed to the ouster of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra .[5] If you look at it, the power of the royal family is still enormous.

It may be natural for the Thai people to respect the Thai Dynasty . In the past, when colonization of neighboring countries was carried out due to the expansion of the imperialism of the Western European powers , Thailand had bamboo diplomacy using geographical advantages, especially in Rama V , and eventually maintained independence in Southeast Asia. And socialism in the neighboring countries that were independent from the West during the Cold War after World War II The Communist craze blows, but Thailand maintained a monarchy around the king of Pumi Phone even in the midst of the communist. In this situation where the surrounding situation is dizzy and confused, the royal family has served as a guardian who keeps the independence and identity of the country. Naturally, the Thais support and love for the royal family are enormous. Thus, Rama V and Rama IV , who have served as the same throne, are particularly respected as the title of the Great King .

Although the late king was greatly respected, his successor, Maha Vajiralongkorn, had a bad reputation for being a shabby person and having a violent and impulsive personality with severe mood swings.[6] The US diplomatic ambassador said that there was a high possibility that the situation in Thailand would become unstable. #

In the 2023 Thai House of Representatives election, the Action Forward Party caused a stir by becoming the largest party by promising to abolish the monarchy insult law. However, the Thai Election Commission requested that the Movement Forward Party be dissolved, and the Constitutional Court unanimously decided to dissolve it, saying that the Movement Forward Party's push to revise the royal insult law was considered an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy, showing that the power of the royal insult law still remains. #

The King of Thai inherits five kinds of Legalia , not three kinds , not the triangle. Unlike Japan 's three -sided new flags , you can check the reality .[7] · It is a shoe.

In addition, the Thai royal family has a treasure. Golden Jubilee, the world 's largest diamond . The diamond was discovered in the South African Republic in 1985, which was relatively recent in 1996. In 1996, the Thai chaebol and entrepreneur bought this diamond from Thailand's chaebol and entrepreneur , led by Thailand's jewelry, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 50th anniversary of the crown of Pumi Phone. This diamond is currently on display at the Royal Museum of Thailand.

The color symbolizing the king is yellow . The queen is blue , and the second princess, who has the most solid support among the royal family, is purple .

The royal property of the Thai royal family is private, but is estimated to be from $ 33 billion to $ 70 billion.

As the royal family married, the incest is quite severe. Since the monarch Lord , the only 7th generation from the current king , Lama 10 years old , it is a royal family. If you look closely, all members of the royal family are married to the offspring of Rama V , and from Lama VI , the son who has already married his father's granddaughter .

The problem is that all four members of Rama V were their half -brothers, so their descendants are already very vulnerable to inexperienced with high concentrations of incest. It may be because of this repeated incest, but Lama VI has only a princess, who passed the throne to his brother Lama VII , and Lama VII died without a child and passed the throne to his nephew Lama VIII . As Rama VIII died in an accident, his brother, Lama IV, was crowned.

Afterwards, King Rama IX married his 5th cousin, Queen Sirikit . Queen Sirikit also had a highly consanguineous family, with her grandfather being the son of King Rama V and her grandmother being the granddaughter of King Rama IV . In other words , the current King Rama Afterwards, King Rama X's first wife (currently divorced) was also his maternal cousin and 7th cousin...

​

'Rama (รัชกาล)', given to the kings of the Chakri Dynasty, refers to Ramachandra , the Hindu incarnation of Vishnu , and is not the king's name.

In the past, Thai kings sometimes identified themselves with Rama in terms of deification. As Westernization was achieved, Western kingdoms tried to imitate the title of king as 'XXn years old', but this was a Thai custom that did not call the monarch's name carelessly . It was placed against. At that time, the name of the king was not called directly, but the number was added like the first king, and the addition of a llama, which symbolizes the king of Thailand, settled down in the style of 'Rama X'. It was Rama VI who initiated this custom.
