Question

Which of the following eminent personalities was the ninth monarch of Thailand from the Chakri Dynasty as Rama IX?

• A. Sirikit Kitiyakara
• B. Vajiralongkorn
• C. Ananda Mahidol
• D. Bhumibol Adulyadej

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To answer the question of which eminent personality was the ninth monarch of Thailand from the Chakri Dynasty as Rama IX, we need to consider the historical and biographical details of each option provided.

1. Sirikit Kitiyakara: She was the Queen consort of Thailand and the wife of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, but she was not a monarch.
2. Vajiralongkorn: He is King Bhumibol Adulyadej's son and became King Rama X, succeeding Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016.
3. Ananda Mahidol: He was the eighth monarch of Thailand, Rama VIII, and the elder brother of Bhumibol Adulyadej.
4. Bhumibol Adulyadej: He was the ninth monarch of Thailand from the Chakri Dynasty and reigned as Rama IX. Bhumibol Adulyadej was the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history, serving from 9 June 1946 until his passing on 13 October 2016.

Based on this logic:

• The correct answer is Bhumibol Adulyadej, as he was indeed the ninth monarch, serving as Rama IX.
• The other options either refer to individuals who did not serve as monarchs or held different positions in succession.

Therefore, the answer is justified as all historical evidence points to Bhumibol Adulyadej being the ninth monarch of Thailand from the Chakri Dynasty, known as Rama IX.
