Thai names are indeed a swamp of confusion for ignorant farangs. The problem here is that "Rama" is not a name, it is a description. As I understand it is a contraction of "Raja Maha," which means "great king" in Sanscrit. Thus, the current king's name is Bhumipol Adulyadej, and he is the ninth Great King (Rama) of the Chakri dynasty. Thus although he is conventionally called "King Rama IX" this is not cognate with "King Louis IX." My prefered article title would be Bhumipol Adulyadej, King of Thailand.

- Not really. RAMA is a word in its own right, meaning Loard Rama, a hero of the classical Indian epic RAMAYANA, and an incarnation of the God Vishnu.
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. Dragons flight 04:43, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
