Chakri Dynasty
Nangklao (Rama III)
Mongkut (Rama IV)
Vajiravudh (Rama VI)
Prajadhipok (Rama VII)
Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII)
after i went to read up on teh kings in chakri dynasty, i was so disappointed. :( i mean i always had a view, and i believe many had to, abt how god-like the thai kings are! how beloved, how special they are! but, i discovered that they are just as human as everyone of us out here are.
yes, kings like mongkut and his son, chulalongkorn are great, they even prevent westerners from conquering siam when most of s.e.a. was under western powers. however, it was shocking news, when i found out taht mongkot had been a monk for 27 years (since he was 20 years old) and he had 39 concubines and 82 children! and his son, chulalongkorn had 77 children! and this was during teh 19th century and early 20th century! even emperors in the qing dynasty did not have so much children! this prove that thai kings are ....ahem.... more fertile!
and even more sadly, Rama VIII died at 20 years old. its wat we call “英年早逝”, and there were rumors that the current king had assainated his biological brother in order to get to the throne! one thing that is true, is that the gun found at the scene of crime was in Ananda's left hand, and he was right-handed!
even worse, Rama IX's son was rumored to have a.i.d.s! but wat is true is that he have a son born in 2005. that means the son is only 4years old! and he was born in the year of 1952 (57 years old), old enough to be his own son's granddad! my mom say that this is simply his own personal stuff, but i strongly feel that he is a royal member, and the public's modern learning, and he himself has a reputation to uphold!
also the royal family is very strict! chulalongkorn's 70th son married a russian and he was denied the throne because his only heir was half-thai!
泰国(暹罗)给人是一种与世无争,世界净土,世间的最后香格里拉!但往往一个人知道得越多,他(她)就会更失望,甚至是绝望!
