Thailand - The monument of the King Rama 1st. In Bangkok


Thra Phutthayofta Chulalok, born Thong Duang and also known as Rama I, was the founder and the first monarch of the reigning House of Chakri of Siam (now Thailand). He ascended the throne in 1782, after defeating a rebellion which had deposed King Taksin of Thonburi. He was also celebrated as the founder of Rattanakosin (now Bangkok) as the new capital of the reunited kingdom.  Rama I was born from a Mon family where his father served in the royal court in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, and had served King Taksin in wars against the Burmese Konbaung dynasty and helped him in the reunification of Siam. During this time he emerged as Siams most powerful military leader. In 1782 he took control of Siam and crowned himself as the monarch.
