- Execution_of_Thai_royalty abstract "The execution of Thai royalty (th: การสำเร็จโทษด้วยท่อนจันทน์; RTGS: kan samret thot duai thon chan; the act of executing royalty by using sandalwood cudgel) was the process of executing Thai royalty by means of one sandalwood cudgel or more upon his or her neck or stomach. It was the ceremony most frequently performed in Thai history from the Ayutthaya period to the initial period of Rattanakosin. This kind of execution has not been performed since the reign of King Mongkut, and has officially been abolished by the first Criminal Code of Thailand promulgated in 1881 by King Chulalongkorn.Prof Nidhi Eoseewong, renowned Thai academician, gave an opinion that: "I don't know how to translate this magnificently elegant ceremony of executing royalty into any foreign language. In the English there exists a term derived from Latin, 'regicide', the literal meaning of which is an act of killing a monarch. The foreigner uses this word in such direct meaning, namely, knifing a monarch to death as being on a par with an act of MacBeth, or decapitating a monarch with guillotine which is not a royal guillotine as it can be used for every kinds of person from prostitute to royalty......therefore, the Thai style of executing monarch can daze and dumbfound foreigners (and the Thai people whom does not understand the Thai history). The execution of Thai royalty is not like that of the foreigner."".
