Prince of chumphon Shrine of Surat Thani Province: Prince of
Chumpon or “Royal Father” has been widely respected by southern
Thai people, especially fishermen who strongly believe that he

Admiral Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, Prince of
Chumphon (19 December 1880 – 19 May 1923)
was the 28th child of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V). He was
commonly revered as "The Father of the Thai Navy".
As the
founder of the Thai Navy (then known as the 'Royal Siamese
Navy'), Abhakara was highly praised by many Thais as "Sadej Tia"
(Lord Father), "Mor Phon" (Doctor Phon). The Thai Royal Navy
officially granted him the title of "the Father of the Thai
Navy" in 1993.
There are at least 217 shrines and memorials
built to honour him around Thailand. |
