		One of history's tragic figures, ''Somdej Chao Pha Prajadhipok Sakdidej'' (Prince Prachadhipok Sakdidej) was born November 8, 1893 in Bangkok as the last and youngest son of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and Queen Sri Patcharindra.
		Unprepared for his new responsibilities, all Prajadhipok had in his favor was a lively intelligence, a certain diplomacy in his dealings with others, a modesty and industrious willingness to learn, and the somewhat tarnished, but still potent, magic of the crown.
		The initial legacy that Prajadhipok received from his elder brother was problems, of the sort that had become chronic in the Vajiravhud Sixth Reign.

		However, when King Prajadhipok's abdication appeared imminent, the Prince's mother was approached by a member of government, asking for her opinion about Ananda Mahidol becoming the next Thai monarch.
		In fact, it was an interesting turn in the history of succession when King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) abdicated in 1934 due to political quarrels with the new quasi-democratic government as well as health problems, and abstained from exercising his right to name a successor.
		When King Prajadhipok later abdicated, since he was the last remaining son of Queen Sri Pacharindra, the crown went back to the sons of the Queen whose rank was next to hers: Queen Savang Vadhana, mother of the late Crown Prince Vajirunahis.

		One of history's tragic figures, Prajadhipok was born November 8, 1893 in Bangkok as the last and youngest son of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) and Queen Sri Patcharindra.
		On the one hand, the short history of this reign is the story of the movement of great historical forces---of political aspirations, public opinion, social and political mobilisation, economic modenisation, and so on---while, on the other hand, it is very much the story of individuals and personalities and their effect upon historical events.
		Unprepared for his new responsibilities, all Prajadhipok had in favour of him was a lively intelligence, a certain diplomacy in his dealings with others, a modesty and industrious willingness to learn, and the somewhat tarnished but still potent magic of the crown.

	SIAM'S POLITICAL FUTURE
		Not only had Prajadhipok never expected to be king, he appears not to have particularly wanted to be king, and, citing his youth and lack of experience, when Vajiravudh died he offered to step aside in favor of Boriphat or another senior member of the royal family (see I).
		Prajadhipok's accession in 1925 was to be the last time that the accession of a new king led to immediate major changes in government policy.
		If Prajadhipok had several handicaps in fulfilling the demanding duties of his office, he also had a number of assets, perhaps the most important of which were his extreme conscientiousness and diligence and his devotion to the welfare of Siam and the Thai people.

	SIAM'S POLITICAL FUTURE
		At the same time that this denunciation of the king and his administration was being circulated the coup leaders were inviting Prajadhipok to remain on the throne under a constitution, adding that should he refuse he would be replaced by another member of the royal family or Siam would become a republic.
		[7] Prajadhipok was the first Thai king to abdicate since the mid-eighteenth century, when the next to last king of the Ayutthayan line gave up the throne;[8] paradoxically, this last absolute monarch abdicated because he considered the government not to be sufficiently democratic.
		The history of Thai democracy in the succeeding forty years has been one of vicissitudes, and in recent years Prajadhipok's abdication statement, with its strongly democratic flavor, has been frequently cited and quoted by proponents of democracy in Siam,[9] and Prajadhipok himself has received belated recognition as a central figure in modern Thai political history.

		To some, this demand was premature, but fortunately with the far-sightedness of King Prajadhipok and his predecessors in particular King Chulalongkorn the Great (Rama V) and King Vajiravudh (Rama VGI), Thailand was not unprepared for this transition.
		While continuing the process launched by the two previous kings, King Prajadhipok had every intention of accustoming the Thais to the Western system of constitutional monarchy and had considered the eventuality of altering such form of government to the people at an appropriate moment.
		Despite the number of successive constitutions that followed in the span of just over half a century, the basic concepts of constitutional government and monarchy laid down in the 1932 constitution have remained unaltered.
