TheChakri dynasty[a] is the current reigningdynasty of theKingdom of Thailand. The head of the house is theking, who ishead of state. The family has ruled Thailand since the founding of theRattanakosin era and the city ofBangkok in 1782; following the end ofTaksin's reign, when the capital of Siam shifted to Bangkok. The royal house was founded byRama I, anAyutthaya military leader.[1]
Prior to his accession to the throne, Rama I held for years the titleChakri, the civil chancellor. In founding the dynasty, the king himself chose "Chakri" as the name for it. The emblem of the house is composed of the discus (Chakra) and the trident (Trishula), the celestial weapons of the godsVishnu andShiva, of whom the Thai sovereign is seen as an incarnation.
In terms of lineage, KingRama IV stated in his royal correspondence that the ancestry of the Chakri dynasty was not purely Thai but of mixedMon andChinese descent.[2] According to historian Edward van Roy,Kosa Pan was the son of Phraya Kiat, a Mon noble who supportedNaresuan during thefourth Burmese–Siamese War, andChao Mae Wat Dusit [th], said to be a daughter of KingEkathotsarot and the wet nurse ofPhetracha and PrinceNarai, both future kings of Siam.[3][4] Through his son Khunthong, Kosa Pan was a great-great-grandfather of King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty. His elder brother,Lek, held the post of foreign minister before him. Somdet Phra Pathom Boromma Mahachanok (Thongdee), meanwhile, was the father of KingPhutthayotfa Chulalok.[5] Some theories further propose that the dynasty may descend from KingNaresuan the Great of Ayutthaya, which—if correct—would link it by blood to thePhra Ruang dynasty of theSukhothai.[5]
The current head of the house isVajiralongkorn who was proclaimed king on 1 December 2016, but has reigned with retroactive effect since 13 October 2016 after the death of his fatherBhumibol Adulyadej. The house's current seat is theGrand Palace. On Saturday, 4 May 2019, the coronation of Vajiralongkorn, with the traditional ceremony, occurred in Bangkok.[6]
The present royal family of Thailand belongs to theHouse of Mahidol (Thai:ราชสกุลมหิดล;RTGS: Ratchasakun Mahidon), acadet branch of the Chakri dynasty. The House was founded by PrinceMahidol Adulyadej (1891–1929) and PrincessSrinagarindra (1900–1995). The Prince was a son of KingChulalongkorn and his wife QueenSavang Vadhana. The Prince was also the half-brother of both KingVajiravudh and KingPrajadhipok. After the death of KingAnanda Mahidol (Prince Mahidol's elder son), KingBhumibol Adulyadej (the Prince's younger son) ascended the throne in 1946. In 1949 the King married hisfirst cousin once removed, Mom RajawongseSirikit Kitiyakara (a daughter of Mom ChaoNakkhatra Mangala Kitiyakara, a grandson of King Chulalongkorn). Bhumibol was succeeded by his sonVajiralongkorn officially on 13 October 2016, but was proclaimed King on 1 December 2016.

TheMaha Uparat (มหาอุปราช) or theKrom Phrarajawang Boworn Sathan Mongkol (Vice or Second King of Siam/Viceroy of Siam) (กรมพระราชวังบวรสถานมงคล) was an office that was bestowed on the highest ranking prince, frequently the monarch's younger brother or son. Until 1885 every Chakri monarch had appointed a prince to this office. TheUprarat and his miniature court would reside at theFront Palace (วังหน้า) (a palace complex to the north of theGrand Palace, now the site of theBangkok National Museum). By tradition the Uparat was designated the heir to the throne, however only Prince Itsarasunthon was able to ascend the throne as KingPhutthaloetla Naphalai. The office was extremely prestigious and carried with it almost equal status to the king, this can be seen in Prince Chutamani (younger brother of KingMongkut), who was elevated to Vice KingPinklao in 1851 (he carried with him the styles and titles of a King). The office was abolished by King Chulalongkorn when his Uparat and cousin PrinceWichaichan died. He then declared his oldest son thecrown prince of Siam, but not Uparat.[8]

Krom Phrarajawang Boworn Sathan Phimuk (กรมพระราชวังบวรสถานพิมุข), or theRear Palace, was another office inherited from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. However, since the founding of the dynasty there has only been one rear palace.

TheCrown Prince of Thailand orSayam Makutrajakuman (สยามมกุฎราชกุมาร) is the designated andheir apparent to the throne and headship of the dynasty. The title was created in 1886 when King Chulalongkorn appointed his eldest son by Princess Consort Savang Vadhana, PrinceVajirunhis as Sayam Makutrajakuman. The title was copied directly from the Western tradition. Since then, there have only been three crown princes. The most recent crown prince, MahaVajiralongkorn, was invested with the title in 1972 and became King in 2016. The succession is governed by the1924 Palace Law of Succession passed by King Vajiravudh.
