The Royal Standard of the King of Thailand.
Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami (Thai เพลงสรรเสริญพระบารมี) is the royal anthem of Thailand. The music was composed by a Russian composer named Pyotr Schurovsky. The lyics were composed by Prince Narisaranuvadtivongs, around 1913, and were later revised by King Rama VI. Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami was the national anthem of Siam until 1932, when it was replaced by Phleng Chat. The royal anthem is performed during state occasions, as well as when a high-ranking member of the royal family is present for a function. In addition, the royal anthem is still played before the beginning of each film in movie theatres, as well as before the commencement of the first act in plays, musicals, concerts, and most other live performances of music or theatre in Thailand.
In April, 2008, it was reported that a Thai citizen was facing criminal charges of "Lèse majesté" for failing to stand for the playing of the Royal Anthem at a movie theatre in Bangkok.[1]
