In my childhood, amidst the grandeur of the Royal Palace, I, King Chulalongkorn, embarked upon a journey of discovery that would shape the course of my reign. Born into a lineage steeped in tradition and reverence for our kingdom's rich heritage, my earliest memoriesf my revered father, King Mongkut. From the tender embrace of my mother, Queen Sri Bajarindra, I gleaned the virtues of compassion and empathy, virtues that would become the cornerstone of my leadership.
On the day of my coronation, amidst the grandeur of the Grand Palace, I ascended the throne with humility, surrounded by dignitaries and nobles. As sacred rituals unfolded, I pledged to serve my people with justice and compassion, mindful of our history and the hopes of our nation. With the crown upon my brow, I embraced the solemn duty of leadership, guided by the wisdom of our ancestors and the enduring spirit of our land.
As King, I chose abolish slavery within my kingdom. The liberation of our people from the shackles of servitude was imperative. Witnessing the resilience and inherent dignity of every individual, regardless of their background or station in life, has been a profound revelation. Through this transformative act, we have not only bestowed upon our citizens the gift of freedom but also affirmed the intrinsic worth of every human soul. It is my fervent hope that this legacy of liberation will continue to resonate through the annals of time, serving as a testament to the enduring power of justice, compassion, and enlightenment within the great nation of Siam
On my wedding day, amidst colorful celebrations, I stood with my beloved bride, exchanging vows amidst family and tradition. Bound by love and respect, our union marked the beginning of a shared journey, fortified by the promise of enduring companionship and mutual support in the duties of life and kingship.
In my final moments, surrounded by loved ones, I took my journey to the next life with dignity and humility. I was grateful to serve my people well across my reign and improve the quality of their lives. I hope Siam to thrive after my death, farwell to my family and my beloved citizens
