Political aspect

  • summarize
During his reign of 70 years, King Bhumibol Adulyadej greatly improved the status of the Thai royal family in the political arena and in the eyes of the people through a series of superb political means, so that the royal family stood firm in all the vicious political struggles, and gradually entered the center of national political power in Thailand until he mastered the real power of the military and government of the country. Bhumibol established the authority of the king of Thailand under the constitutional monarchy, realized the maximization of the royal power under the constitutional monarchy, and made the king become the final mediator and arbiter of national political disputes and the real master of Thai politics.
  • figurehead
Bhumibol began his reign as a virtual head of state with little real power. Shortly after he took the throne, he went to study at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. In less than two years, Thailand was in political turmoil. Biri Panonron , Luantholong Nawashava and Kuan Apaiwan He became Prime Minister and then military strongman after two military coups in November 1947 and April 1948 Luang Piboon Somkan Although overseas, Bhumibol kept a close eye on the vagaries of Thailand's domestic politics. In order to achieve a personal dictatorship, Somkan demanded that King Bhumibol give up some of the actual powers granted to the monarch in the 1949 Siam Constitution in exchange for the military government's recognition of the King as head of state, which King Bhumibol refused to do. When the soldiers led by Luanpiboon Somkan learned that King Bhumibol had completed his university studies and was on his way back home and was about to arrive in Thailand, they launched a military coup, set up a "Provisional Executive Council", announced the abolition of the 1949 version of the Siamese Constitution and dissolved the upper and lower houses of parliament. His language repeatedly revealed his displeasure with Luang Piboon Somkan; After Bhumibol arrived in Thailand, in view of the powerful Luanphi Boon Songkan, King Bhumibol chose to cooperate with the military government led by Luanphi Boon Songkan, and hoped to fight for power and interests of the royal family through negotiations, but the military government was tough and refused to give way, in order to preserve the political strength of the royal family, Bhumibol to the military government of Luanphi Boon Songkan temporarily compromise; On February 26, 1952, Thailand held a parliamentary election, and Luanpiboorn Somkan won a landslide victory and was re-elected as Prime Minister, after which Bhumibol signed a decree confirming Luanpiboorn Somkan's re-election as Prime Minister, and on March 8, King Bhumibol signed a decree at the suggestion of Luanpiboorn Somkan. The Constitution of Siam, adopted after the Constitutional Revolution of 1932, was reinstated, and at the same time the Constitutional Amendment was passed, establishing the 1952 version of the Constitution of the Royal Thai State. The constitution, the first signed by Bhumibol himself as king and the sixth in Thailand's history, provides for a unicameral parliament that limits most of the monarchy's political power while stripping it of vast tracts of land and making it little more than a puppet.
In 1956, when King Bhumibol was a monk, he met with Prime Minister Luanpiboorn Somkan
King Bhumibol and Prime Minister Somkan have never had a close working relationship, and at one point the military banned the king from making public political statements. Bhumibol later recalled the situation, saying: "When I tried to open my mouth and give some advice, the generals always said I didn't know anything about the country, they said to me 'Your Majesty, you don't know anything! 'But I know. They won't let me, so I won't." Despite his grievance, the king expressed his resolve in a letter to his American friend Francis Boyce Sale, a long-time Thai government official: "I will try not to be discouraged." I know I have to stand up for what I think is the right thing to do, and I promise you I will do my best."
Although King Bhumibol was marginalized by the military government in politics and economy during this period and did not have actual power, the king did not lose his heart because of this, he still tried every means to maintain communication and contact with the people, King Bhumibol personally visited the counties and mountains. Thai people also often see the king talking to the crowd in front of the statue of Chulalongkorn in Royal Field Square; Although Luanphi Boonn Somkan can use the military to maintain his dictatorship, he still needs the king's recognition of the legitimate status of the military government, King Bhumibol also knows the role of royal power for the legitimacy of the military government, he seized the weakness of Luanphi Boonn Somkan afraid to conflict with the king, and constantly tried to find a breakthrough in the blockade of the military regime. To restore the royal family to its former position of authority.
  • Real monarch
In January 1956, King Bhumibol gave a speech in which he publicly stated that the army should not interfere in politics, and he took direct aim at the military government led by Luanpiboorn Somkan,
King Bhumibol and his wife and Marshal Sari Thanarat
On February 26, 1957, Thailand held a new parliamentary election, which was won by the Malangkassi Freedom Party of Luanpiboon Somkan through vote rigging, causing discontent among the royal family, some soldiers and the general public, and in August and September, Thailand broke out in opposition Luang Piboon Somkan On 16 September, Field Marshal Luanpiboorn Somkan sought the support of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who advised him to step down to avoid a coup.

EDITOR

boyhood

  • Teacher-student friendship
Swiss lawyer Klein Seradaris served as a tutor in Bhumibol's home from 1936 to 1945. During his teaching period, Klein was extremely concerned about Bhumibol and Ananta's learning condition. He often tutorized the two brothers in their homework and helped them establish correct learning methods, which made the two brothers maintain excellent academic performance in school for a long time. The relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious, when the homework is finished, they always play and talk together; Cline's love for the two princes, his daily care for the brothers and teaching them the right way to behave, which in part compensates for the lack of fatherly love in the brothers' childhood.
Bhumibol, Ananta and their Swiss tutor, Cline Seradaris
After the succession of Bhumibol, still maintain close correspondence with the tutor Klein, King Bhumibol visited the home of Klein many times during his visit to Switzerland and local holidays, the joy of the two teachers and students in the meeting was overwhelming, they talked as usual, Klein Seradaris visited Bangkok, Thailand in 1988, Upon learning this, King Bhumibol personally invited his former teacher to visit Tarada Palace.
  • Strict upbringing
Bhumibol and his brothers and sisters were brought up strictly by their mother, Sinakarin, from childhood, and Bhumibol recalled that their mother was strict with them, never allowing them to be arrogant and act according to the rules. She also instilled responsibility in their minds, requiring them to follow the Buddhist spirit of sacrifice and devotion. Even if there are servants at home, they still need to do housework by themselves every day, they need to tidy their bedrooms and clean the house regularly. Mothers often teach their children to spend all their time working for the good of others. When children get pocket money, they must put 1% in a box. If one of them makes a mistake, the mother needs to be fined. The fines are also put in boxes and given to the poor." The mother also deducted a tenth of each child's pocket money each week, and at the end of each month, the Bhumibol family held a family meeting to decide which foundation or charity to give the money to.
Ms. Sinakarin has a house rule for her children: No gifts are to be accepted except on New Year's Day and her own birthday. One day, neither the New Year nor the birthday, she saw Bhumibol running out of the tutor Cleon Seradaris with a brand new toy car in his arms, and immediately went to ask the teacher where the car had come from, Cleon teacher immediately explained to Sinekarin that it was not a gift, but because Bhumibol had repaired the sewing machine to get the payment. That is why Bhumibol was not criticized by his mother.
As a child, Bhumibol was once taken by his mother to watch the film Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves The fickle lights and the ghastly robber's mask frightened him so much that he pulled his mother to leave the theatre in terror. His mother gently taught him that one must learn self-control, that one should carry on no matter what difficulties he encountered, and finish what he started, so that he could make a difference, which kept Bhumibol through the game.
World War II During the war, the Bhumibol family of four lived a frugal and simple life in Switzerland, and the young royals often helped their mother grow fruits and vegetables in the garden of the villa, and gradually learned to be independent, to observe discipline, and to take the initiative to help people in need.
Because Bhumibol grew up in Europe and lived away from Thailand for a long time, Bhumibol once lamented that he "knew nothing about what happened to the country and its people" at the beginning of his return.

He took a large number of photos every day, and asked the guards to number the photos according to his requirements so that they could be found.

If pictures and photos of some kinds of warships could not be collected, he would make models himself; As an adult, Bhumibol continued to have a keen interest in making model ships. [70]
As a teenager, Prince Bhumibol and his older brother Ananta Mahidol were so close that they cycled to and from school every day, and when school was off, the two brothers would enjoy themselves together, collecting pictures of tanks and ships, raising pets, cycling, picnics, hiking and skiing in the Alps.

Diligently govern and love the people

After King Bhumibol ascended the throne, he made full use of his prestige, power and talent to implement benevolent policies and act well with the people. He was approachable, good at communicating with the people and maintaining close contact with the people everywhere. He summed up the governance of the previous Kings of the Checkri dynasty, governing the country with the "Ten Commandments of the king" (namely, giving, abdicating, correcting, loving, diligent, forbearance, harmony, benevolence, and obedience), and often taught and guided the people tirelessly.

From 1953 to late 1954, King Bhumibol traveled to central Thailand Suphan , Hongtongfu and Shinburi Province And other places to visit people. [2]
In 1955, King Bhumibol's family traveled to northeastern Thailand in a jeep Ethan He toured the region, one of the most backward parts of Thailand, and Bhumibol became the first king of the Chakri dynasty to visit the region. The royal couple made several days of investigation and inspection in the Isan area, visiting 14 provinces and covering more than 2,000 kilometers. On the way, Bhumibol kept stopping to talk with ordinary people and monks, and every time he went to a place, Bhumibol always went to understand the people first, he talked with his subjects affectionately: "Please tell me, what are your requirements?" What can I do for you?" The people were moved by the king's sincere attitude, and they poured out all the questions that were piling up in their minds, from small personal problems to big national affairs, and the King patiently answered them. Back in Bangkok, when King Bhumibol was asked why he was spending so much time and energy in the region, his response was emphagic: "The peasants are the backbone of Thailand."

In 1981, at a seminar on agriculture, Bhumibol criticized the government and experts for ignoring the simplest and most economical solutions to farmers' problems. He said the government's approach was "ineffective" and their data was vague because they never listened to farmers. He pointed out that a water problem in a small village can be solved in a few days by the palace with a few thousand baht, but the government needs to spend more than a year and 10 times the money.
In November 1983, Bhumibol visited the Pakanon and Lapa districts, which had been flooded for two months, and the king suggested dredging the river and drainage pipes, ordered the local government to repair the water pipes in the streets as soon as possible, and suggested the construction of sluice gates at the conjunction of the Shantsai and Pangabi rivers, and the heads of the local government complied.
In 1992, King Bhumibol visited the mountains of Pattani Province, and in the rugged mountains where vehicles could not travel, the king and other staff walked more than 1,000 meters, stepping on mud and deep mountain roads full of leechns, and finally determined that the local conditions for building a dam were available.
During the 1995 floods in Thailand, Bhumibol came to the aid of the victims and urged the government to take measures to solve the long-term problems.
From the early 1950s to the late 1990s, King Bhumibol often toured the country in civilian clothes to understand the real life conditions of the people, he sometimes by helicopter, sometimes by boat, sometimes on foot through muddy paths, but more often personally drove a jeep to visit the site; King Bhumibol never minded walking, telling his daughter Princess Sirindhorn, who serves as his assistant, that it would give him a better understanding of the local culture and people; During the helicopter ride to the inspection site, King Bhumibol would do paperwork and talk to his entourage in the helicopter, and if they fell asleep in the helicopter, the king would be furious. "Taking a helicopter and using public funds to buy gasoline is a privilege," Mr. Bhumibol said. "We must make the most of it and not fall asleep listening to the roar of the engine."
King Bhumibol visited every province, district and district in Thailand, and nearly traveled the countryside of Thailand, traveling more than 48,000 kilometers a year, and in some years he spent more time in the countryside than in Bangkok. In the 1980s, Bhumibol spent four to six months in the countryside almost every year.

Thai media have reported that when King Bhumibol went on numerous Tours, he always carried a thick stacked map, a 1:50,000 scale map above, dense numbers marked the altitude line, which can determine the elevation of the terrain and the construction of water conservancy. The map, which King Bhumibol himself stitched together several maps, later included almost all the places he had visited. King Bhumibol was able to fold the map down to a portable size and quickly find the place he wanted to see without opening the whole piece. A map that successfully reflects King Bhumibol's rich and outstanding geographical and hydraulic expertise, as well as his love for his people. When Thais talk about their king, they often say, "His Majesty has traveled to every corner of Thailand and spread the blessings of this golden land." [71]

King Bhumibol mentioned that in other constitutional democracies, monarchs are criticized, saying, "It is the king who suffers, and I want to criticize." I have to know if people agree or disagree with what I'm doing." Bhumibol said: "In fact, I also deserve criticism. I'm not afraid of being criticized for what I did wrong, because I know I was wrong after I was criticized. If you say that Kings cannot be criticized, Kings are not human beings... To say that a king can do no wrong is to despise him, to treat him less than a human being. Kings make mistakes, and when you say a king doesn't make mistakes, you make mistakes."

EDITOR
  • Royal status
Foreign scholars, politicians and some business people believe that Thailand's incomplete constitutional monarchy has led to the weakness of political parties in the constitutional development of Thailand, and it is difficult to carry out the heavy responsibility of promoting Thailand's constitutional government. This system relies excessively on the royal power and the military to manage the country, and inevitably requires the king to make up for the lack of party politics to some extent through his role. Since the army believes that the King of Thailand is the supreme commander of the armed forces, the army needs to justify its intervention in politics by declaring that it respects the King of Thailand. Therefore, when the forces of the military and civilian politicians have serious conflicts of interest leading to confrontation and stalemate, the military will launch a coup d 'etat in the name of "protecting the royal family", repeal the constitution and dissolve the parliament, which also leads to frequent military coups since the establishment of the constitutional monarchy in 1932, and the final decision of politics often falls to the king, so that the king can arbitrarily influence the political situation. [72]
King Bhumibol rejects this view, arguing that politicians are in a race for power and never truly defend the public interest. Bhumibol himself never interferes in the specific affairs of the government, he has repeatedly stated that he maintains strict political neutrality and does not want to participate in any political struggle, Bhumibol once told the" live "I became king very young, at 18, and very suddenly I learned that politics is a dirty business."

Bhumibol stressed that the military government is right Developing country There is no need to support the opposition in Burma. Aung SAN Suu Kyi is a troublemaker." The king's remarks surprised the guests who were seated. [72]

Public opinion evaluation

After taking office as king, Bhumibol promoted a series of political, economic, social and cultural system reforms and made amazing achievements. He transformed a traditional backward agricultural country into a modern service country. During his time in office, Thailand has not only achieved economic transformation, but also undergone earth-shaking changes in the political situation. After the Second World War, King Bhumibol cleverly relied on the power of the United States to consolidate and expand Thailand's influence in Southeast Asia and consolidate his ruling position. When the political situation in Thailand is in turmoil, the Thai king can always resolve various political contradictions in time, so that Thailand can constantly move forward in the chaotic political environment. It can be said that the King of Thailand relies on his personal charm to not only win the love of the Thai people, but also win the trust of Asian countries, especially Southeast Asian countries. ( " People's Daily review ) [86]
King Bhumibol on the cover of Time magazine
After decades of political turmoil, King Bhumibol won the title of "Great" and the image of "loving father" for himself with his diligent administration and love for the people, and was even semi-deified and worshipped by the people. In the eyes of many Thais, they have been used to three or five years or even one or two years of change of government, but only King Bhumibol's leadership style is the constant national driving force, because "the king is the compass." ( Xinhuanet Evaluation of ) [87]

Although the king is not in politics, he has a strong political influence, and the historic royal class has exerted a significant influence on today's thriving democratic system. ( " Asia Weekly review )
Beloved by the Thai people, Bhumibol was a force for stability in Thailand, repeatedly intervening in political battles at critical moments to stop the bloodshed. Nevertheless, he sometimes supported the military in order to preserve the status of the royal family, and even acquiesced in the overthrow of elected governments by the military. He is to blame for Thailand's continuing failure to stabilise democracy. ( Ming Pao Evaluation of ) [88]
He was a cornerstone of Thai identity and a major unifying force in the country. ( The United States New York Times review )
Bhumibol does not occupy magazine covers like other members of the royal family, and his name and image are not particularly familiar to Europeans.

The experience of 68 years of history seems to show that Thailand cannot live without Rama IX. ( Duan Lisheng Write" General history of Thailand review ) [30]
