History
[
edit
]
In 1855, there were two captains,
Thomas George Knox
and Captain Impey. They both arrived in
Rattanakosin
and both brought the song "
God Save the King
", which is a song in honour of
Queen Victoria
of the
United Kingdom
to Siam.
[1]
New lyrics were written in English in honour of the
King Rama V
, which has shown significant evidence in
the Siam Recorder
.
Later,
Phraya Sisunthonwohan
changed the lyrics in
Siamese
to the poetics of the poem, Quite by naming the new song "Chom Rat Chong Charoen".

Relinquishment

When King Rama V visited
British Singapore
in 1871, '
God Save the King
' was played and it was realised that the song is both the
national anthem
of Britain and
Siam
. After he returned back to Siam, he invited
Khru Mi Khaek
[
th
]
to discuss about changing the
royal
and national anthem. Khru Mi Khaek decided to bring "
Bulan Loi Luean
", a piece composed by a former King,
Rama II
and decided to add a part to the song.

Thou happiness and wealth,
Attain bravery,
Ever be pure.
May his majesty reign long,
To a hundred years
With elegant honour for him,
Shines brighter than the moon when full.
