Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramenthramaha Mongkut Phra Chom Klao Chao Yu Hua (), or Rama IV, known in foreign countries as King Mongkut ( 18 October 18041 October 1868 ), was the fourth monarch of Siam ( Thailand ) under the House of Chakri, ruling from 1851 – 1868.

Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramentharamaha Vajiravudh Phra Mongkut Klao Chao Yu Hua (), or Phra Bat Somdet Phra Ramathibodi Si Sintharamaha Vajiravudh Phra Mongkut Klao Chao Yu Hua (), or Rama VI ( 1 January 1881 – 25 November 1925 ) was the sixth monarch of Siam under the House of Chakri, ruling from 1910 until his death.

His father was Thong Dee ( later raised as Somdet Phra Prathom Borom Maha Rajchanok – the grand primordial father ) who was " Phra Aksara Sundhornsat " ( Royal Secretary of northern Siam, Keeper of the Royal Seal ).

Taksin ( Royal Institute: Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat ; or The King of the Thonburi Kingdom ; ; ; Teochew: Dên Chao ; Vietnamese: Trịnh Quốc Anh ) ( April 17, 1734 – April 7, 1782 ) was the only King of the Thonburi Kingdom.

His mother, Lady Nok-iang ( Thai: นกเอ ี้ ยง ), was Thai ( and was later awarded the feudal title of Somdet Krom Phra Phithak Thephamat ).

King Taksin statue was unveiled in the middle of Wongwian Yai ( the Big Traffic Circle ) in Thonburi, at the intersection of Prajadhipok / Inthara Phithak / Lat Ya / Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Roads.

Somdet Phra Narai (; 1633 – 11 July 1688 ) or Somdet Phra Ramathibodi III () was the king of Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688 and arguably the most famous Ayutthayan king.

However, minor improvements have been effected after its first erection during Rama I's reign ; wood-work of the temple was replaced by King Rama III and King Chulalongkorn ; during King Mongkut's reign, the elegant doors and windows and the copper plates on the floor were additions, Rama III refurbished the wall painting ( indicative of the universe according to Buddhist cosmology ) and several frescoes that display the various stages of the Buddha's life ; three chambers were added on the western side by King Mongkut ; in the chamber known as ' Phra Kromanusorn ' at the northern end, images of Buddha have been installed in honour of the kings of Ayudya ; and in the 19th century, In Khong, a famous painter executed the wall murals.

All his reforms were dedicated to Siam ’ s insurance of survival in the midst of Western colonialism, so that Chulalongkorn earned the epithet Phra Piya Maharat ( พระป ิ ยมหาราช – The Great Beloved King ).

The name originally comes from a royal consort to King Chulalongkorn, Phra Nangchao Sukumalmarsri Phra Ratchathewi.

He took the name Phra Chom Klao, although foreigners continued to call him King Mongkut.

Other temples of some renown include Wat Phra That Chom Ping and Wat Lai Hin both in the Ko Kha district.

The middle or central peak is a big chedi named Phra That Chom Phet.

Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong () ( also known as Wat Phra That Doi Jom Thong ) is located in Nakhon Chiang Rai, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.

Those relics were originally acquired by Prince Pangkaraj of Yonok Nakpan, who divided them into three parts for the three temples of Wat Phra That Doi Tung, Wat Phra That Chomkitti, and Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong, respectively.

He then ordered the beginning of the construction of the city of Chiang Rai and had Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong restored.

The Kingdom of Lanxang ( ອານາຈ ັ ກລ ້ ານຊ ້ າງ, อาณาจ ั กรล ้ านช ้ าง, ), the Land of One Million Elephants, began in 1354 AD, when Somdej Phra Chao Fa Ngum ( ສ ົ ມເດດພຣະເຈ ົ້ າຝ ້ າງ ູ່ ມ, สมเด ็ จพระเจ ้ าฝ ้ าง ู่ ม ) ( 1354-1373 AD ) returned to Mueang Sua ( ເມ ື ອງຊວາ, เม ื องซวา ), thence renamed Xieng Thong ( ຊຽງທອງ, เซ ี ยงทอง ).

A brief union of the crowns of Lannathai and Lanxang under Phra Chao Sai Sethathirath ( ພຣະເຈ ົ້ າໄຊເສດຖາທ ິ ຣາດ, พระเจ ้ าไชยเชษฐาธ ิ ราช ) ( 1548-1572 AD ) introduced many architectural and artistic developments, in imitation of Lannathai style, but intellectual as well.

Chroniclers mention that Taksin had become senile and consequently he was put to death by Chao Phra Chakri.

Chao Phra Chakri then took over the reins of the Rattanakosin Kingdom.

He adopted the title Rama I and shifted his capital across the Menam Chao Phra river to its present location in Bangkok.
