Talk:Thai royal ranks and titles

message: Do the titles Khun, Luang, Phra, Phraya, Chao Phraya, and Somdet Chao Phraya fit into this article as well? andy 12:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I have seen many press articles where the title is anglacised to serene highness princess X (where I assume they are not high enough to be a royal highness).  Where would this fit in the scheme of things as no mention is made in the article?
HSH give to royalties in Mom Chao rank. HH for Mom Ratchawong.--Pudtipong Nawasornyuttana 02:35, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think this soravij site does explain it correct. According to this site the child of a Chao Fa and his Royal wife is a Pra Ong Chao with the style "His/Her Highness" (Phra Worawong Ther Phra Ong Chao). But that's rather strange and incorrect. For example, the children of the Crown prince (a Chao Fa) and his legal wives (all made a royal princess or Phra Ong Chao) are all Pra Ong Chao with the style "His/Her Royal Highness" (Phra 'Chao Worawongse Ther Phra Ong Chao). I still don't understand the use of the style "His/Her Highness" for Thai royals. Is this style also commonly used and in general for princes/princesses who are of Phra Ong Chao rank by birth (with the exception of the use for Children of a Somdej Chao Fa)?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.211.40.7 (talk) 09:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't know much about this subject, but looking at http://www.soravij.com/rama9.html it seems that the current Crown Prince has four HSH/"Mom Chao" sons that are not mentioned in this article. His last son (Teepangkara Rasmichoti, b. 2005) is the child of the Royal Consort and is HRH.

thread_title:  Thai styles other than royal or noble  

message: This is a touchy subject. For over a century, the term retreated from polite discourse into dictionaires, to emerge only to slight or to insult, until recently. Due to Internet censorship, it is difficult for editors in Thailand to run down its reemergence, but it was first applied in 2010 to Nai Thaksin's supporters by Nai Abihist, according to this thai-language.com forum.

Chao Nai de-linked from Boss as the DAB page does a poor job of explaining what it means to be a boss or bossy. My 'puter recently crashed and lost me my cheatsheet for linking to Wiktionary, or I'd link 'boss' to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/boss#Etymology_3 as that closely parallels the Thai phrase. --Pawyilee (talk) 02:25, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prai 

message: Chao has nothing on Thai usage that closely parallels English usage of lord, but I'm at a loss for references or etymology. And there are alternate transliterations such as Čhao and Jao, and confusion with Chinese Zhao, which may also be translated Chao. 
Simple Chao refers to a minor king or prince, such as Chao Anouvong, whose father was a higher ranking Phraya Chao before he fell under Siamese sway and had to give up his son as a hostage. 
Pra Chao means Supreme Being; Pra Chao Yu Hua, His representative on earth; Chao Chiwit, lord of life; chao ban, the person listed first on a household register; chao khong, an everyday term for owner. --Pawyilee (talk) 02:24, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orphaned links 

message: Changes introduced since 14:34, 16 September 2013‎, by unregistered user Bongsevm, broke all links to these terms as used in other articles, and yet fail to explain them. Bongsevm has made no attempts to improve this mish-mash of subsections to be expanded since 08:50, 29 September 2013‎, so absent a good reason not to, I will restore it to
previous version. --Pawyilee (talk) 03:31, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
