- Please see the result of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Thailand-related articles)#Article names for Thai royals/Thai with honorary titles first. andy 11:49, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I hereby decided to deny that request to move. Arrigo 12:37, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for reading my imcomplete English. I do not think Anna's letting Chulalongkorn read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is an inspiration to liberate slaves. However he knew that his country must be modernised to equalise "unequall" relationship with western countries and thought slaves must be liberated to it. In short, it was a MUST for Chulalongkorn. It is not a Hollywood movie nor Anna's book. Above all, Anna's book is said inconfident because the book has bunds of wrongs or fakes. So please think about the article again.
King Mongkut reigned as Phra Chomklao Chaoyuhua not Phra Mongkut Klao Chaoyuhua. Phra Mongkut Klao Chaoyuhua is a royal name of King Rama VI (Vajiravudh).
- Fixed. Apparently a user misunderstood the disambiguation message at the top and incorporated it into the article. Perhaps a template should be used, but I'm not sure which will confer the same message? --Paul C 02:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Date of Death
Thai sources suggest the correct date of death is October 1 not October 18. Some english sources such as [2] say that he died on his 64th birthday, yes, it's [almost] true but based on the Thai lunar calendar. For reference in english (not mentioning thai lunar calendar), take a look at [3]. This correction also clarify why Chulalongkorn succeeded his father on October 1, 1868 --NaiPiak 07:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
