King Rama V, aka Chulalongkorn the Great

King Rama V, aka Chulalongkorn the Great (1853-1910), was the son of King Monkut (whose story is told in “The King and I”) and the fifth monarch of Siam. Crowned at the age of 15 in 1868, King Rama V was largely responsible for modernizing Siam and fending off western colonization. (Notice the Siamese cat to his right.)
