  • The Royal Thai Armed Forces is the name of the military of the Kingdom of Thailand. It consists of the following branches: Royal Thai Army (กองทัพบกไทย) Royal Thai Navy (กองทัพเรือไทย, ราชนาวีไทย) Royal Thai Marine Corps (นาวิกโยธินไทย) Royal Thai Air Force (กองทัพอากาศไทย) Other Paramilitary Forces Created in 1852, the Royal Thai Armed Forces came into existence as permanent force at the behest of King Mongkut, who needed a European trained military force in order to thwart any western threat and any attempts at colonialization. By 1887 during the next reign, King Chulalongkorn a permanent military command in the Kalahom Department was established. However the office of Kalahom and the military of Siam had existed since the days of the Sukhothai Kingdom in the 13th Century. In fact the history of the Kings of Siam is teeming with tales of military conquest and power. However since 1932, when the military, with the help of civilians, decided to overthrow the system of absolute monarchy and instead created a constitutional system, the military has dominated and been in control of Thai politics, providing it with many Prime Ministers and carrying out many Coup d'états, the most recent being in 2006. Today the Royal Thai Armed Forces comprises about 306,600 personnel. The Head of the Thai Armed Forces is His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), however this position is only nominal. The Armed Forces is managed by the Ministry of Defence of Thailand, which is headed by the Minister of Defence (a member of the Cabinet of Thailand) and commanded by the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters, which in turn is headed by the Chief of Defence Forces of Thailand. According to the Constitution of the Kingdom, serving in the Armed Forces is a duty of all Thai citizens. However only males over the age of 21, who has not gone through reserve training are subjected to a random draft. Those chosen randomly are subjected to twenty-four months fulltime service. While volunteers are subjected to eighteen months service, depending on their education. The Royal Thai Armed Forces Day is celebrated on January 18th to commemorate the victory of King Naresuan the Great in battle against the Vice-King of Burma in 1593.

  • 泰国皇家军队(กองทัพไทย)是泰國的軍隊。 泰國皇家軍隊與20世紀以來的泰國政治有密不可分的關係。自1932年開始頒布第一部憲法實施君主立憲後,發生至少三十幾起以上的軍事政變,距離最近的政變發生於1991年及2006年。 從1932年至1973年,除了戰後平民政治家比里·帕侬荣短暫的掌權外,其餘時間都由軍事強人鑾披汶·頌堪、沙立·他那叻和他侬·吉滴卡宗掌權。軍人統治在1973年10月14日的民主示威下結束,這場屠殺導致超過1500名學生死亡,他侬被迫辭職。 1973年革命後,泰國經歷一段短暫而不穩定的民主期,1976年的血腥政變後,泰國又重回軍事統治。1980年代,傾民主的軍人總理炳·廷素拉暖與國王合作,恢復國會政治,結束之前暴力的軍人干政。之後泰國除了1991年及2006年的兩次軍事政變外,大致上維持民主政治。
