The 1932 Siamese Revolution supposedly abolished absolutist rule in Thailand and made the nation a constitutional democracy. Though this forced the monarchy to temporarily assume a submissive position to the government, it made many attempts to reclaim its political power. By reconfiguring its means of exerting power, and with the help of opportunists from various sectors of Thai society, the monarchical institution's political influence was revived by the end of the 20th century, despite obstacles. The monarchy's renewed political position now allowed it to practice absolutist-adjacent political rule while claiming to be 'above' politics, a phenomenon encapsulated in Duncan McCargo's phrase, 'Network Monarchy.' This thesis aims to show this all happened over the course of the 20th century and highlight how the Thai monarchical institution became increasingly complex, less focused around just the 'royal family,' and more omnipresent in the daily lives of all Thai citizens.
