It is 1824 and I have just become a Buddhist Monk. My father died but I hope to find enlightenment with this new religion
I have arrived in Vajirayan. The date is 1836 but my bones are feeling like it is 1850. My pain grows as I age but I will continue to rule with a mighty fist. I am studying Western education with Latin, English, and astronomy.
1851: I Have done it! I am the new King and I will take the name Phra Chom Klao. My power friends in Britain and in the noble circles are to thank for this victory. Now my life can truly begin.
1868 marked a pivotal moment in my reign because this was the year that I abolished slavery in SIam. This impacted the country’s social status forever.
It is 1868, September 31st. I feel terrible. I am sick. I think this is the end. The doctor tells me this is is Malaria. I will see my father in the afterlife soon.
