Royal titles (mainly titles held by members of the royal family at birth)

The title of the royal family after birth depends on his own affinity with the king.

Anyone born in the royal family, whether prince, daughter or grandson, is called Zhao (? Prince). Zhao is divided into Zhao Fa (), Paweng Zhao () and (). The three parts are carried out in turn, as follows:

1. Zhaofa is the title of a member of the Gao royal family after birth, which is divided into two grades: the first grade is the children born to the queen or the queen of the East Palace. For example, Prince Valennahi, born to the queen of King Rama V, was awarded the title of Zhaofa after his birth. Valenachi (). The first category is the children born to the Queen of Nishinomiya.

2. Pa Weng Zhao is a title after the birth of the royal family, which is divided into three grades: children born to the first princess. The second father is Zhao Fa and the mother is Sun. The third father is the first Zhao Fa, and the mother is not Zhao's grandson.

Zhao Meng is a royal title second only to Paeonzhao, and his children call him Zhao Meng. The above three titles are used to address the first, second and third generations of the king. They are all Zhao and princes. When Rama IV was king, they were called descendants of Zhao Meng ();

For example, former Thai Prime Minister Kerry? Ba Maw (? ) is a descendant, so the full name should be: Meng? Wang keli? Ba Maw (? ) 。 Montague's descendants are Luan Meng (? )。

These two titles are for the descendants of the fourth and fifth generations of kings. Although they are princes, they are no longer qualified as "princes", so when others talk to them, they can use secular language instead of royal language. The descendants after the fifth generation no longer enjoy the title of royal family.

Noble title

The feudal nobles in Thailand are prepared to grant certain titles, and the titles of the nobles are divided into us according to their grades, namely, Zhao Piye (? ), Pierre (? ), pa (), Luan (), Kun (). These titles are equivalent to the titles of male, hou, bo, zi and male in China feudal dynasty. The title of nobility was conferred by the king. Besides knighthood, the king also gives knighthood.

For example, former Thai Prime Minister Biri? Send Yi Rong (? When the king named him "Luan" (), he also named him "Billy? Agent Manu "() So, his full name is Luan Bili? Manu agent (? )。

During the reign of King Rama VIII (1935~ 1946), the titles of feudal nobles were abolished, but titles could be used as surnames. It was later announced that anyone with a title could still use the old title. So there are three situations:

One is to use his original name instead of the old title and title. For example, the aforementioned Thai Prime Minister Bi Li used his original name instead of the old title and title "Tou Bilimanutan". Pai Yi Rong;

One is to use the past title as his surname, such as another former Thai prime minister, whose title and title are "Luan Phibul-Songkhram".

(), formerly known as Bei? Kenda Shanko (? ) After taking the title as the surname, the name becomes Bei? Phibul-Songkhram()。

The third is to still use the past titles and titles, such as the collection of former Thai speakers? That songkhla (? ), the past title and title is "Zhao Pi"? Explore Marty Bay in the west "(? ) I have been using this title and title since then. ?
