Pridi Phanomyong was born in 1900 to a wealthy farming family in Ayutthaya.
Pridi refused to sign the declaration of war against Britain and the United States in 1942 and, as a result, was kicked upstairs by Phibun to take on the figurehead role of Regent.
Pridi was quickly associated with anti-royalist sentiments and was held responsible for the King's death by the public.

 Pridi: demonisation to reconciliation
Pridi Banomyong was just 27 when he called six friends together in Paris to plan the overthrow of the absolute monarchy and the modernisation of Siam.
Pridi has a lot in his past to make him acceptable to the communists, including the regicide case which is like his certificate." Phra Phinit, who led the police investigation of the regicide, was later found to have bribed a witness to implicate Pridi.
He called Pridi a "cold-blooded fanatic" who had headed a "regime of the iron fist" under which "many innocent people who had the courage to speak out their sincere opinion were liquidated." Pridi was cast as a monarchy-destroying communist, a demon designed to frighten off anyone who might be tempted by liberal ideas.

The king, a quasi-fictitious ruler in Pridi Banomyong's pro-peace epic from the 1941, also passes on many other lessons on how to govern a nation in turmoil _ and all of them should be carefully heeded by our political leaders.
Pridi, who later formed the Free Thai Movement that led to the liberation of Siam after the war, based his narrative on the history of Ayutthaya, though obviously his intention was to send a message about peace and patriotism of the people on his side of the world to the West.
During the war, the negative print of the film was lost, and Pridi took the sole remaining copy to register at the Library of Congress in the US, a wise move that guaranteed the survival of his work.

Rather, Pridi stated that his policies were a mixture of socialism and liberalism." The Draft Plan guarantees private ownership in Sections 1 and 5 and calls for the establishment of a Central Bank (Section 7) which are elements in every liberal economic system.
We can thus see that legislation concerning elections is not an insignificant matter." Pridi was one of the pioneers ind advancing the rights of women to vote and encouraging their participation in the House of Representatives so that they may enjoy equal rights as men.
In Pridi's view, until an Administrative Court is established in the judicial system, the rights, liberties and equality of the ordinary citizen will not be realised in practice.
