Pinklao not Mongkut

edit

I think this is a photograph of Pinklao and not of Mongkut (King Rama IV). Pinklao was the younger brother of Mongkut and they were said to look very much alike. I won't correct the Lisbon Geographic Society, however I will just leave my thoughts and the evidence on this talk page.

Mongkut was the King of Siam, while Pinklao was the Second King or Viceroy of Siam. Pinklao was very much interested in naval affairs, hence the naval uniforms worn by him in both photographs. --Sodacan (talk) 01:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
