Statue of King
Phra Nang Klao,
who was born as
Chetsadabodin.
He
introduced the use of crown titles in the
Chakri
dynasty, assuming the crown title
Rama III
for himself. He was the first son of
Rama II,
but because he was born to a non-royal concubine he was denied the title of
Chao Fah, 'Lord of the Skies'.
