The Chakri Dynasty |
| The Chakri Dynasty of Bangkok was established in 1782. It has carried on much of the tradition of Thai kings as handed down from Ayutthaya. Western influences, however, became more powerful in Southeast Asia during the fourth and fifth reigns of the dynasty, and Thai kings were wise enough to see that some adaptation to Western standards would become necessary in order that Thailand might escape conquest and survive as a sovereign nation. Princes and courtiers began to be sent to study in Europe where democracy was the rule, and in Thailand itself power began to be decentralized as well as divided among capable people outside the immediate circle of the King. In 1932, however, a group of people quickened the process by staging a bloodless revolution, which transformed the country into a constitutional monarchy in the European model. The then King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) continued to reign as a constitutional monarch but only for a few years before he was forced, by ill health, to abdicate. King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) was chosen to ascend the throne at a tender age and spent his life mostly at study abroad. His unfortunate death in 1946 at the age of 20 brought his younger brother, Bhumibol Adulyadej, to the throne. For the past 61 years, it has been left to King Bhumibol Adulyadej to give the meaning to, as well as set the practical standard for the role of a Thai king within a democratic framework. Diagram of royalty in Chakri dynasty The full family tree of Chakri dynasty is complex.Each king and queen, prince and princess is known by several different names and titles. These ranks and titles are explain the exact rank and relationship to the king of the individual prince or princess. The three main ranks are as follows:- The Chao Fa: This title is use to the children of king and queen.The Phra Ong Chao: There are two specific grades within this rank. 1) Phra Chao Vorawongse Ther Phra Ong Chao--Prince or Princess and Royal Highness. 2) Phra Vorawongse Ther Phra Ong Chao--Prince or Princess and Highness.

The Mom Chao are known in English as Prince or Princess and Serene Highness. The great-grandchildren of a king use the title of Mom Rajawongse.
