		Vajiravudh (January 1, 1880 – November 25, 1925) (also known as Rama VI, reigning title Phra Mongkut Klao Chaoyuhua) was King of Siam (now Thailand (Thailand: A country of southeastern Asia that extends southward along the Isthmus of Kra to the Malay peninsula)) from 1910 until his death.

	Vajiravudh -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		Vajiravudh was educated at Oxford University, where he read history and law; he also received military training at Sandhurst and served briefly with the British Army.
		Vajiravudh's long overseas education isolated him from the life of his people; moreover, his uncritical love of English traditions led to such unwise actions as the founding of a royal paramilitary force under his direct command, the Wild Tiger Corps, outside the regular armed forces.
		He frustrated and alienated not only conservatives, who saw his reforms as undermining of traditional society and his personal life as scandalous, but also liberals, who were offended by his refusal to grant a constitution and by his obstinacy in maintaining the primacy of the absolute monarch.

	Vajiravudh College : Public School , BKK Thailand
		Vajiravudh College was modelled on the English public school, which His Majesty had attended.
		Vajiravudh College has been gradually returning to its historical target enrollment of about 800 students, which we consider optimal for the learning environment we seek to provide.
		Rather than measuring a child's attainment in any particular subject, we attempt instead to gauge the child's learning attitudes and skills as an indicator of the likelihood that he will be able to benefit from, and contribute to, the total learning environment at the school.

	SIAM'S POLITICAL FUTURE
		Even when the death of the crown prince in 1895 led to his eldest full brother, Vajiravudh, being made heir, Prajadhipok, the youngest of his mother's nine children (of whom five, all male, survived childhood), still ranked behind his four elder brothers as well as the male children they could be expected to father.
		In 1915 he had been dismissed by Vajiravudh and had spent the remainder of the Sixth Reign outside the circle of royal favor, which was to be a blessing for Thai historiography as removed from high office he turned his considerable talents and energies to cultural and scholarly pursuits.
		It should be noted that the British judged Vajiravudh mainly on his administrative and financial record, which were not his strengths, and were largely unable to appreciate his contributions to Thai literature, arts, and social and political thought.

		Educated in England, he continued the policy of modernization and westernization: irrigation projects, education, calendar reform, reduction of compulsory labor, etc. Vajiravudh was a writer, actor, and playwright, and he promulgated his nationalist ideas in public places and through the emerging public press.
		An early reaction to Vajiravudh's poor political judgment, however, came when a group of young military officers planned a coup.
		They claimed that reform was incomplete, and, influenced by developments in Russia (in 1905) and the Chinese revolution of 1911, they planned a revolution for April.

		There are some deliberately oblique but still explicit references to the financial and administrative problems of the last years of the Sixth Reign, including frank discussion of the favoritism and corruption that were thought to characterize the court clique, and the consequent decline in the prestige of the monarchy.
		His half-brother Vajiravudh was then elevated to the rank of Crown Prince, and succeeded to the throne in 1910.
		Such a step had been considered before, particularly when Vajiravudh was writing of the dangers of a Chinese 'nation within a nation,' but always rejected, largely because of the belief that Siam's economic development was dependent upon Chinese labor.
