Talk:Uthumphon

Uthumphon's birth date? Birth date of 1722 in Thai article source?

In the Thai article for Uthumphon, it lists his birth year as 1722. Where is the source for that? None of my English-language sources say anything on the monarchs' birth dates. At 1:14:06 of a series of lectures regarding the 250 year anniversary of the Fall of Ayutthaya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7pcdSJL_7s, I think the Professor says that Uthumphon was born the same year as the civil war between Boromakot and, according to the professor, when translated into English, a "son of King Thai Sa", so Uthumphon was born in 1733? Can someone look into this, preferably someone who knows Thai and is an expert at this?Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 06:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Was Uthumphon reappointed a Viceory when he came out of the monkhood one time?

In WAR Wood's "History of Siam", it mentions something along the lines of Ekkathat stepping down and letting Uthumphon come out of the monkhood (the first out of two times I believe, the second time for the final war with Burma), but I think it's more likely that since there's the instance of Mongkut and Pinklao being co-rulers, perhaps Uthumphon was reappointed Front Palace? Can anyone help clarify or is the source wrong in that instance, which is possible given how old that book is. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 05:10, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
