**Chom Rat Chong Charoen** ([Thai](/source/Thai_language): จอมราชจงเจริญ, lit. 'Long live the great king') was the royal and national anthem of the [Rattanakosin Kingdom](/source/Rattanakosin_Kingdom).

## History

In 1855, there were two captains, [Thomas George Knox](/source/Thomas_George_Knox) and Captain Impey. They both arrived in [Rattanakosin](/source/Rattanakosin_Kingdom_(1782%E2%80%931932)) and both brought the song "[God Save the King](/source/God_Save_the_King)", which is a song in honour of [Queen Victoria](/source/Queen_Victoria) of the [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) to Siam.[1] New lyrics were written in English in honour of the [King Rama V](/source/Chulalongkorn), which has shown significant evidence in the Siam Recorder.[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*]

Later, [Phraya Sisunthonwohan](/source/Phraya_Sisunthonwohan) changed the lyrics in [Siamese](/source/Thai_language) to the poetics of the poem, Quite by naming the new song "Chom Rat Chong Charoen".[2][3]

### Relinquishment

When King Rama V visited [British Singapore](/source/British_Singapore) in 1871, '[God Save the King](/source/God_Save_the_King)' was played and it was realised that the song is both the [national anthem](/source/National_anthem) of Britain and [Siam](/source/Siam). After he returned back to Siam, he invited [Khru Mi Khaek](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khru_Mi_Khaek&action=edit&redlink=1) [[th](https://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B0%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%90%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%9E%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%B0_(%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%B5_%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%A3))] to discuss about changing the [royal](/source/Royal_anthem) and national anthem. Khru Mi Khaek decided to bring "[Bulan Loi Luean](/source/Bulan_Loi_Luean)", a piece composed by a former King, [Rama II](/source/Rama_II) and decided to add a part to the song.[4]
