Chulalongkorn
(redirected from King Rama V)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.29 sec.

Chulalongkorn (1853-1910)

King of Siam (modern Thailand) from 1868. He studied Western administrative practices and launched an ambitious modernization programme after reaching his majority in 1873. He protected Siam from colonization by astutely playing off French and British interests.

Chulalongkorn was partly educated by English tutors and travelled to Europe in 1897. His wide-ranging reforms included the abolition of slavery, centralization of administration to check the power of local chiefs, and reorganization of court and educational systems.
