Khana Ratsadon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khana Ratsadon (คณะราษฎร), or the People's Party, frequently mistakenly written as Khana Rat (คณะราษฎร์), was the group of Thai people staging the bloodless coup in the reign of Phra Bat Somdet Phra Poramin Maha Prajadhipok and transferring the Thai administration from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy on 24 June 1932.

Khana Ratsadon consisted of 91 members, those from the Royal Thai Army were headed by General Phahon Phonphayuhasena (Phot Phahonyothin), the Royal Thai Navy, Group Commander Luang Sinthusongkhramchai (Sin Kamonlanawin) and the Civil Servant, Major Minister Luang Praditmanutham (Pridi Phanomyong).

In the first meeting held in Paris, February 1927, the Party determined the sixfold objective which was later called the "Six Principles", as follows:

1. To maintain the sovereignty of the Thai people.

2. To maintain the national security.

3. To maintain the economic welfare of the Thai people in accordance to the National Economical Project.

4. To protect the equality of the Thai people.

5. To maintain the people's rights and liberties insofar as they are not inconsistent any of the above-mentioned principles.

6. To provide the public the education.
