message: This is NOT the Thai Wikepedia so please make sure you are proficient in the ENGLISH language before you edit this page.  If you're not, then stick to updating the Thai Wikipedia. What the hell is "It subjected to the debate of Westerners and Mongkut finally ended" supposed to mean???  Just because you had a year or two of English in whatever crappy schools you went to in those rice paddies of yours does not mean you're expert enough to edit the English Wikipedia.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.95.148.252 (talk) 15:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Fixed. Apparently a user misunderstood the disambiguation message at the top and incorporated it into the article. Perhaps a template should be used, but I'm not sure which will confer the same message? --Paul C 02:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Thai sources suggest the correct date of death is October 1 not October 18. Some english sources such as  say that he died on his 64th birthday, yes, it's [almost] true but based on the Thai lunar calendar. For reference in english (not mentioning thai lunar calendar), take a look at . This correction also clarify why Chulalongkorn succeeded his father on October 1, 1868 --NaiPiak 07:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I looked for the source that someone requested, for the quote about Lincoln saying that the elephants weren't needed, because the work could be done by steam engines. Although the quote seems plausible, it originates with this "new age" blog:  and therefore I am removing it. --Maybellyne (talk) 06:33, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Not just the British, but ALL British subjects in Siam enjoyed extraterritoriality, and were subject to British law. There were, however, no British courts, judges, lawyers or law offices, so cases were referred to a British consul for disposition. One of them arrived in Siam in about 1898 as an 18-year-old trainee and remained for the rest of his life. I wish I could remember his name, for he wrote in his memoirs what it was like - including the case of a rambunctious British ghost.    
By far the majority of British subjects in Siam were from India, and persons who are or appear to be of Indian origin are called kak แขก guest, visitor. This may or may not be a legacy of the treaty. So Sethaputra's dictionary entry says the word was not restricted to British subjects, per se, but is Pali for stranger. It is used as a racial  epithet for an Indian, Malay, Near or Middle Easterner, North African or negro, and never for Burmese, Cambodian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese or  white man. When not a racial epithet, it merely mean guest or visitor. --Pawyilee (talk) 06:50, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Introducing Western Geography should be changed to something along the lines of Introducing Western Thinking. John Crawfurd's journal notes that he dealt with officials motivated by avarice and utterly lacking in statecraft, but that can be seen as the logical result of the worldview in Mandala (Southeast Asian history), which was also the worldview of Europe until, as that article notes, it gradually changed as an inadvertent byproduct of 15th-century advances in map-making technologies. Royal Thai Survey Department notes that modern map making in Thailand began in 1875 in the reign of Mongkut's son. Mongkut had begun the radical change, but was still a product of his age. I'm asking other editors to help in merging this into the article, and will dig out Crawfurd's reference to avarice later, but meanshile offer as background this quote from Anna Leonowens:

message: According to this article, it was Sir Harry Ord, the British Governor of Straits Settlements from Singapore. But according to this source it was “the Governor of Singapore, Henry Orde”. Which version is correct? --109.85.247.203 (talk) 20:36, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Harry" is a common nickname for "Henry," with some people believing that is always the case. --Pawyilee (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
