[@joshapple6905]

​​@@NeonAarth Thailand is a constitutional monarchy; meaning that the King has limited power. Most of it I's heled by the Parliment. It is iligal to criticize the king, or step on a Thai Bhat Mark. Furthermore, it is iligal to defame or make a derogatory remark another the total fammily.

Siam, we read it not like "Sayyum" but "Seeyum".

[@WaterShowsProd]

Pronouncing Thai from Romanised spelling is no easy feat, but one thing to note is that a final L gets pronounced as N, so Mahidol is pronounced “Ma-hee-don”, etc. Incidentally it was Rama VI who came up with the Rama title in order to make it easier for westerners. The name Rama of course referring to the Ramakien, or Ramayana, epic. Ayutthaya wasn’t a dynasty, but a kingdom that controlled the other Thai kingdoms. Over the centuries it was ruled by several dynasties. Today it lies about a 2 hours’ drive North of Bangkok, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It's not necessarily in correct. Thailand uses Sanskrit names so it's optional to use Sanskrit pronunciation or Thai Sanskrit pronunciation

It was common in every monarchy from any nation in the past. Most of the Royal families married their cousin or even their sister (Real sister!! like born from the same womb) to keep the blood pure

[@jeans4484]

The two queens were actually full sister with same mother. There was also another queen, the oldest sister who drowned and died in early twenties, 3 of them were full sisters. The last queen was born from another mother, she descended from Bunnak Clan which at the time the most powerful noble house, even more powerful than Chakri Dynasty itself.

Before the establishment of Rattanakosin Kingdom with Bangkok as the capital in 1782, the unified Thai Kingdom was ruled by many Kingdoms and Dynasties. There were also many Kingdoms, both of the Thais and and of other ethnic groups, existed on the area which became Thailand today. Some of those Kingdoms existed before the establishment of the first unified Thai Kingdom, Sukhothai Kingdom, but later were annexed into the Thai Kingdom or the neighboring Kingdoms. The Kingdoms and Dynasties which ruled the unified Thai Kingdom in the past were: 1.Sukothai Kingdom (1238 - 1438) Phra Ruang Dynasty - 9 Kings 2.Ayutthaya Kingdom (1350 - 1767) Uthong Dynasty - 3 Kings Suphannaphum Dynasty - 13 Kings (The number is disputed between 13 and 14.) Sukhothai Dynasty - 7 Kings (This Dynasty descended from Phra Ruang Dynasty.) Prasat Thong Dynasty - 4 Kings Ban Phlu Luang Dynasty - 6 Kings 3.Thonburi Kingdom (1767 - 1782) Thonburi Dynasty - 1 King.

Also he asked the controversial question to the monk that if he could meditate so that he reached the stage of Sodaban. The monk should pay the respect to him.

Good video.

It just depends on how opposed they are to the prospect of a female monarch.

[@jonathanh.4405]

Female monarch is possible however unlikely

[@golf_supa]

This is not likely to happen because Our Succession is Male-preference primogeniture, Our heir-presumptive is Dipangkorn, his youngest Son born to the Royal consort (พระวรชายา) and if he lives well into his 20s he will be make Crown Prince. While in case of his Second wife She hold the title of Mom (หม่อม) which is a generic title of a Commoner that married into the royal family, but not elevate to the royal rank. Her children hold the title "Mom Rajawongse" (หม่อมราชวงศ์: refer to as "The Honourable") which is one of the title for the descendants of the Royal family, They were striped of their title after the divorce. Except for his daughter, Sirivannavari which her grandfather bestowed her a royal, higher rank.

[@ixorafy]

I agree. She should be the next Queen of Thailand since Thailand never had any Queens Regnant. Her mother is his father's cousin so her lineage is undisputedly royal (ignoring incest). Her mother is also very active to attend engagements at her capacity despite being severely ill. Same goes for the King's sisters Princess Chulabhorn and Princess Sirindhorn.

[@prospero021]

His sister Princess Sirindhorn still holds the title Crown Princess, and the law of succession was changed in 1974 to allow female succession.

[@raphaeldavin9642]

For information, in Thailand, if the princess marry a commoner, she will lose her title and status like in Japan. But since the Thai nobility had been abolished in 1942 (although it was repealed two years later, the noble titles are currently no longer granted to the individuals), I think the Thai government also need to amend the law so the princesses can marry without losing their titles.

Overall of Thailand History, from Sukhothai to Rattanakosin, to occupy the throne by royal succession or enthroned, were familiar as other kingdoms. But there is one important point Thailand likes no others, is neither empiricism nor colonialism. From this video, there are documentaries on the internet explaining why Thailand remains the only country in Southeast Asia not colonized by Europeans. Lastly, everything single internal conflicts, just only one word from the king, whole country becomes peaceful as fast as blinking eyes. FYI: generally my surname spelling is "Ittiwattana". But my surname was one of thousands royal given surname, spelling format, Chamberlain Office Announcement in 1917.

I think the best option for the heir to the Thai throne is to take a page out of the UK's book and go for non gender preference primogeniture.

[@kayjayuknowme]

I truly understand it is very hard to pronounce thai names, I’m thai and somehow names can be very hard to say properly. You make a great vdo lol. Something here is new for me. (Because this is not what they taught us.)

[@jandevries1300]

Probebly Prince Dipangkorn. He has Royal blood in his veins. Besides he is a male heir and upon 1000 years of tradition he has the most prominent claim to the throne. Since he is only 14 it would be considered wise to (if anything would happen to King Rama X) install princess Bairakityabha as acting regent on behalve of the then Rama XI until he is able to fulfill his duty when he is of age and able to rule the country as head of state. Please comment I'm interested in other opinions towards the matter.

[@penparnsailarm7094]

I believe that this is the most likely case

[@si91]

How does he have more royal blood than any of Rama X's 4 other sons?

[@โอเด้งืก๋วยเตี๋ยว]

thank you form thailand

[@stirbubiancamarcela9872]

There are a legend that suggest the connection of Rama I to the lineage of King Ekathotsarot, the Ayutthayan king. But the academics suggest it is mostly a later inventions to legitimize the dynasty. About the end of Taksin, there are speculation about the issue of ethnicity of Taksin, as he is a Chinese descent. Both Taksin and Rama I was served in a relatively high position in the Ayutthayan court, and both are close friend, in fact, Taksin and Rama I fought side by side to unify the country after the fall of Ayutthaya by the Burmese. But the people in the court most likely see Taksin as not suitable, or maybe not "Thai" enough to led the country as king. Plus towards the end of Taksin's reign, there are report of him being insane, may be due to PTSD; one report suggested that he ordered that all monks must bow to him, which is a breach to a Buddhist tradition, that monk is superior than the everyone, include the position of the king. At that time Rama I was sent by Taksin to conquer Cambodia, but have to retreat due to instability and insurgences around the capital. So, after defeated the rebellion, he ended up execute Taksin, and reign as king of the new dynasty. Other alternative speculation suggested that he actually abdicate and became a monk, and lived in a monastery in the southern province of Nakhorn Sri Dharmaraj (this mostly due to the fact that Taksin son was appointed as a governor of Nakhorn Sri Dharmaraj during the reign of Rama I)

There was no Ayutthaya Dynasty. Ayutthaya was ruled by 5 dynasties, namely, Uthong, Suphannaphum, Sukhothai, Prasat Thong, and Ban Phlu Luang.

[@t_rippint]

In fact in Thailand history they said King Rama 1 need to killed King Taksin because he was mad king. So finally they need to kill him for country

[@toppz1008]

I might be wrong but I've heard that King Taksin was so obsessed with wars.

[@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901]

The eldest should rule so that queen Elizabeth definitely wins the longest reigning monarch prize

[@naratronic3589]

you nice keep going~~ (from a thai person)

[@LordHRthend]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@toum1]

About the Kingdom of Lane Xang (or Laos in the present day)?

[@isyfanihdaaulia8300]

So basically, Rama V had 77 children?

[@JoseGonzalez-hp9uy]

Yep

[@Alvionalx]

...

[@asrikhalid6391]

Good information. And i hope, you also can make royal Malay family tree, which is related to Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia.

[@dmitrivlad8538]

Dude, do a video on YOUR family tree. After all, this is YOUR channel! 😀

[@krishibhavankuzhuppilli8167]

the eldest of the four sons is the one who I thing is the most rightful person to inherit the throne.

[@1412Bunny]

if the mixed line in the family had been able to inherit then the future king of thailand would have been handsome, and the potential current queen looks very kind

[@afifahsaaid8433]

I adore queen Suthida very much.

[@ancienthistorygaming]

Pepi II of the 6th Dynasty of Egypt would be 1st place in longest reign if the records was for sure accurate but since it over 4000 years since he ruled it is hard to verified how long is reign was.

[@sharp52092]

I think Thailand needs to do something or they might have a war or succession crisis after Vajiralongkorn is gone.

[@TheMokubaCosplayer]

That will be VERY difficult. As stated, the four sons from the second wife are currently disowned and stripped of their titles. With the youngest son being heir presumptive, at this point, it's really anyone's guess. I would hope that they four sons would retain their titles...but with the lives they've built for themselves, they'd have to make a transition and I can only imagine that said transition will be very complicated. That's just my take on it from where I'm standing.

[@sin1996]

Now there is a protest to make the king to be under the law. But the military straight up spanked a emergency law to dismiss the protester

[@แม่ทัพใหญ่ภัคสามก๊ก]

Taksin (King of thonburi)(พระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช) Is my clan but he like to occupy other people's territory Then King Rama I ordered the execution But some say that the person who was executed was someone who had a similar face.

[@wokefromthematrixspreadthe5425]

Checked out your channel and watched a many of your videos which I enjoyed. I am curious though if you could possibly do a chart figuring out the lineages of Atilla? I know his origins are shrouded in mystery but would be nice if it was finally solved. Also, its a long shot but could you find out the lineages of the Leitner family 9 szent míhaly street? Thank you for all the work you put into these great detailed videos!

[@gabrielareis932]

Soo amazing! Thanks for the video!

[@michaeltvuong6968]

Can you please do the Vietnam Monarchy

[@canman5060]

Quite complicated but worth a try.

[@cer3812]

Nepal is one of those few countries who have been still holding their independent pride

[@karakinee]

Right... Only 5 countries in Asia Japan China SouthKorea Napal and Thailand

[@chalatb3402]

Nicely done

[@alexyuarayan1212]

A strong tree must has strong root first,we as thai so being pround of our story and our root.

[@mr.sirapatphattarapornjaro3806]

All correct. But Thai king’s ancestors had a long history before king Rama I. It began after king Ashoka period. Try Singhanavati kingdom, the legend mentioned the king is the descendants of king Ashoka.

[@suethai7359]

We love Chakri Dinasty 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇹🇭

[@Tanat83]

King Rama I Phutthayotfa Chulalok Maharaj was not the father-in-law of Taksin the Great, he was 2 years younger and was a former friend of Taksin.

[@kanchittagong3404]

Tanat Pruett King Taksin married one of Rama I's daughters. In those days, marriages between great families were a means to cement great ties and power. Check it out.
