History
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 Queen", which is a song in honour of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom to Siam. 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 Siam dialect to the poetics of the poem, Quite by naming the new song "Chom Rat Chong Charoen".

Happiness and wealth,
Brilliance in health and wit, Our King haves. May he reign long, Counted and is centuries, Honour for his majesty, there is; Brighter than the Moon when full. |
