Thonburi Kingdom
After the execution, Phraya Chakri assumed the throne of Siam as King Ramathibodi, or Rama I, and founded the royal house of Chakri, the present Thai ruling dynasty. Rama I moved his royal seat across the Chao Phraya river to the village of Bang-Koh (meaning "place of the island") which he had built. The new capital was established in 1782, named Rattanakosin, which marked the end of the 14-year-old Thonburi Kingdom and the start of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, the fourth and present-day kingdom of Thailand.
