Mongkut the King of Siam abbot low moffat
Mongkut: The King of Siam offers a detailed and scholarly portrait of King Mongkut (Rama IV), one of Thailand’s most influential monarchs and a key figure in the country’s transition toward modernity. Abbot Low Moffat traces Mongkut’s early life as a Buddhist monk, his intellectual curiosity, and his engagement with Western knowledge, emphasizing how these experiences shaped his enlightened leadership. The book examines the political reforms, diplomatic strategies, and scientific interests that characterized Mongkut’s reign, along with his efforts to safeguard Siam’s independence during a period of intense colonial pressure. Rich in historical insight, this work provides a balanced and engaging account of a king whose vision and reformist policies left a lasting legacy on the nation’s cultural and political development.
