He is the ninth king of Chakri (Bangkok dynasty) and the longest-serving head of state in the world. 1950 In April, she married Queen Sirikit and had four sons:

Princess Sirindhorn was born on1April 2, 955;

Princess Chulabhorn was born on1July 4, 957. The early days of King Bhumibol's reign coincided with the dictatorship of Mao Piwen Songgan. King Bhumibol is only a symbol of the country and has no real power. 1957 In August, six months after the parliamentary election, Marshal Sarit Thanarat accused the marshal who was in power at that time of disrespecting the king because he presided over the 2500th celebration of the Buddhist calendar. On September 16 of the same year, Songkan sought support from King Bhumibol, who told him to step down and avoid a coup. Songkan did not accept King Bhumibol's suggestion. That night, Marshal Sarit Thanarat took over the political power. Two hours later, King Bhumibol declared martial law to the whole country, and at the same time, King Bhumibol appointed Marshal Shali as the highest military officer. The order at that time was stated like this.

The current national situation shows that the administration of Marshal Mao Piwen Songkan, the prime minister of the government, cannot be trusted and the government cannot ensure the stability of the country. Marshal Sarit Thanarat will take over the government. Therefore, I appointed Marshal Sarit Thanarat as the highest military officer. From now on, all the people must remain calm and abide by the policies and decrees promulgated by Marshal Sarit Thanarat. September 2500 ad 16 (ad 1957). The monarchy was restored during the dictatorship of Islamic law. King Bhumibol attended various public celebrations, toured provincial capitals and presided over many development projects. During the Shali period, the ceremony of bowing down at the king's reception, which was forbidden during the King Chulalongkorn period, was resumed on specific occasions together with the Thammayut Nikaya decree. After the monarchy was overthrown, the king presented robes to the temple for the first time through the royal fleet of Chao Phraya River.

Other rituals abolished during Chakri dynasty, such as ploughing ceremony (Thai:? ), have also recovered. 65438+1On February 8, 963, Shali passed away, and the nation lost its life in an unprecedented 2 1 heaven. He used five royal roofs above his body. Phraya Srivisarn Vacha, a long-time adviser to the royal family, later recorded that no prime minister was so close to the royal family as Sally.

Contemporary scholars have different views on the relationship between King Bhumibol and Shali. Paul Handley, the author of The King Never Smiles, thinks that Shali is actually a tool of King Bhumibol, while Thak Chaloemtiarana, a political observer, thinks that Shali is using King Bhumibol to build his own credibility. King Bhumibol still retains great power, on the one hand, because many of his actions are widely praised, on the other hand, his power (although clearly stipulated in the Thai Constitution) is often contradictory in fact. This was particularly evident when the appointment of the Minister of Justice Jaruvan Maintaka was controversial. Jaruvan Maintaka clashed with the Prime Minister after being appointed by Thailand's inspection commission. In 2004, the Constitutional Court stated that Jaruvan Maintaka's appointment was unconstitutional. But Jaruwan Maitka refused to resign without receiving a clear order from King Bhumibol. When the Senate meeting agreed to replace Jaruwan Maitka, King Bhumibol made a rare move and vetoed the replacement. Finally, in February 2006, after receiving a memorandum signed by the Chief Secretary of the King to support the appointment of King Bhumibol, the inspection committee reinstated Jaruvan Maintaka.

Senator Kaewsan Atibhodi, a former member of the Constitution Drafting Committee, pointed out that according to Article 7 of Constitution 1997, when there is no provision in this Constitution applicable to any situation, it should be decided according to the constitutional convention in a democratic government system with the king as the head of state. This statement gave King Bhumibol the veto power when appointing Wisut Montriwat to replace Jaruvan Maintaka in the Senate:' As long as the king thinks that what happened is unfavorable and unfair to the people, the king has the veto power'.

King Bhumibol rarely exercised his veto power. 1976, when the parliament voted to extend the democratic election from 149 to 19, King Bhumibol refused to sign the decree. Congress did not vote to override the king's veto. 1954, King Bhumibol vetoed the land reform bill passed by Congress twice before finally agreeing to sign it. The bill limited the maximum area of land owned by individuals to 50 lai (20 acres), when the Royal Assets Administration was the largest landowner in Thailand. The bill was abolished after General Sarit's coup overthrew the elected government.

King Bhumibol's popularity was reflected in the riots in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2003, when hundreds of Thai protesters gathered outside the Cambodian Embassy in Bangkok to protest because the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh was burned down. When Sant Sarutanonda, the police chief, told the protesters that he had received a message from Arsa Sarasin, the secretary of King Beaumont, that King Beaumont called on everyone to calm down, the situation returned to calm, and the protesters dispersed.

King Bhumibol has the constitutional right of amnesty. Amnesty is usually conditional, including age and service time. However, in 2006, several cases of child sexual harassment were pardoned, including an Australian rape and child pornography offender, which caused controversy.
