King Prajadhipok: Moments in the Life of a Monarch

King Prajadhipok was the seventh king of the current Chakri dynasty. He became king after the original heir to the throne died unexpectedly in 1925. With only a year's experience of statecraft under his belt, he embarked, somewhat precariously, on his career as king of Siam. But King Prajadhipok was never entirely happy being an absolute monarch, upon whose shoulders the success of an entire nation stood. At heart, he was a creative spirit and would dedicate much of his time to reading, composing music, and making amateur movies. These photos show us King Prajadhipok the man: a dedicated husband and educator of children.
