Admiral Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak (1880-1923) is
considered to be the father of the Royal Thai Navy. He was the
28th son of the prominent Thai King Rama V, and he showed an
early interest and ability in nautical matters. He spent six
years in the UK studying in the Royal Naval Academy. Upon his
return to Thailand (Siam) he held a number of important
positions in the Royal Thai navy. He is noted for modernising
the navy and creating a professional officer corps. He became
the Commander of the Navy in 1922.
In addition to his
naval studies the Prince is also known as a herbal doctor, a
boxer, and artistic painting. He is well remembered in Thailand.
The anniversary of his death, May 19, is the Royal Thai Navy
Day.
He is also known as Admiral Prince Abhakara
Kiartivongse. The simplest means of ensuring a correct
designation is to refer to him as Admiral Chumphon.
