National Anthem

English version

Thailand embraces in its bosom
All people of Thai blood.
Every inch of Thailand
belongs to the Thais.
It has long maintained its sovereignty
because the Thais have always been united.
The Thai people are peace-loving
But the are no cowards at war.
They shall allow no-one
To rob them of their independence.
Nor shall they suffer tyranny.
All Thais are ready to give up
Every drop of blood for the nation's
Safety, freedom and progress.



The King's Anthem (Thai Version)

Kha wora Phutta Chao
Ao mano lae sira kran
Nop Phra-pumi ban boonya direk
Ek barroma Chakarin
Phra Sayamin
Phra Yodsa ying yong
Yen sira pruo Phra bariban
Pon Phra kunta raksa
Praung pracha pen sooksarn
Khor bandarn
Ta prasong dai
Jong sarit
Dang, wang, wora hareutai
Dutja tawai chai chaiyo.



The King's Anthem (English version)

I, slave of the Lord Buddha
Prostrate my heart and head
To pay homage and give great blessings
To the protector of the land,
One of the Great Chakri Dynasty
Head of the Thai people
Supreme in rank
I know comfort from your protection.
Because of your gracious care
All the people are happy and peaceful.
We pray that whatever you wish for
Fate will grant you
According to your heart's desire
To bring you prosperity.
We salute you.
