===Front Palaces=== {{main|Front Palace}} The '''[[Uparaja|Maha Uparat]]''' (มหาอุปราช) or the '''Krom Phrarajawang Boworn Sathan Mongkol''' (Vice or Second King of Siam/Viceroy of Siam) (กรมพระราชวังบวรสถานมงคล) was an office that was bestowed on the highest ranking prince, frequently the monarch's younger brother or son. Until 1885 every Chakri monarch had appointed a prince to this office. The ''Uprarat'' and his miniature court would reside at the [[Front Palace, Bangkok|Front Palace]] (วังหน้า) (a palace complex to the north of the [[Grand Palace]], now the site of the [[Bangkok National Museum]]). By tradition the Uparat was designated the heir to the throne, however only Prince Itsarasunthon was able to ascend the throne as King [[Phutthaloetla Naphalai]]. The office was extremely prestigious and carried with it almost equal status to the king, this can be seen in Prince Chutamani (younger brother of King [[Mongkut]]), who was elevated to Vice King [[Pinklao]] in 1851 (he carried with him the styles and titles of a King). The office was abolished by King Chulalongkorn when his Uparat and cousin Prince [[Wichaichan]] died. He then declared his oldest son the [[crown prince]] of Siam, but not Uparat.<ref>{{cite book | last= Terwiel | first= B.J. | url= https://books.google.com/books?id=81OQuAAACAAJ | title= Thailand's Political History: From the 13th Century to Recent Times | publisher= River Books | year= 2011 | location= Thailand | isbn= 978-9749863961 | page= 39 | access-date= 28 November 2021 | archive-date= 6 February 2023 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230206051711/https://books.google.com/books?id=81OQuAAACAAJ | url-status= live }}</ref> {|style="text-align:center; width:100%" class="wikitable" |- ! width="80" |Portrait!!width=27%|Name!!width=15%|Birth!!width=15%|Relationship to Monarch!!width=15%|Reign!!width=15%|Coronation!!width=15%|Death!!width=15%|Monarch |- |[[File:Maha Sura Singhanat.jpg|100px|Maha Sura Singhanat]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|His Royal Highness Prince <br />[[Maha Sura Singhanat]] ||1 November 1744<br />[[Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province|Ayutthaya]] ||Younger brother ||1782<br />{{ndash}}<br />3 November 1803 ||1782 ||3 November 1803<br />Burapha Phimuk Hall, [[Front Palace (Bangkok)|Front Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1744|11|1|1803|11|3}}) | rowspan=2 |[[Rama I]] |- |[[File:King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai.jpg|100px|Rama II]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|His Royal Highness Prince Krommaluang [[Rama II|Itsarasunthon]] ||24 February 1767<br />[[Amphawa District|Amphawa]] ||Second son ||15 March 1807<br />{{ndash}}<br />7 September 1809<br />''(acceded to throne as '''Rama II''')''<hr />({{ayd|1807|3|15|1809|9|7}}) ||15 March 1807 ||21 July 1824<br />Phaisan Thaksin Hall, [[Grand Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1767|2|24|1824|7|21}}) |- |[[File:Emblem of the House of Chakri (variant).svg|100px|House of Chakri]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|His Majesty Royal Highness Prince <br />[[Maha Senanurak]] ||29 March 1773<br />[[Thonburi Kingdom|Thonburi]] ||Younger brother ||22 September 1809<br />{{ndash}}<br />16 July 1817<br /><hr />({{ayd|1809|9|22|1817|7|16}}) ||22 September 1809 ||16 July 1817<br />Wayusathan Amaret Hall, [[Front Palace (Bangkok)|Front Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1773|3|29|1817|7|16}}) ||[[Rama II]] |- |[[File:วัดไพชยนต์พลเสพย์ราชวรวิหาร อ.พระประแดง จ.สมุทรปราการ (17).jpg|100px|Sakdiphonlasep]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|His Majesty Royal Prince <br />[[Sakdiphonlasep]] ||21 October 1785<br />[[Grand Palace]] ||Uncle ||1824<br />{{ndash}}<br />1 May 1832 ||13 September 1824 ||1 May 1832<br />[[Front Palace (Bangkok)|Front Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1785|10|21|1832|5|1}}) ||[[Rama III]] |- |[[File:King Pinklao.jpg|100px|Pinklao]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|His Majesty King <br />[[Pinklao]] ||4 September 1808<br />[[Thonburi Palace]] ||Younger brother ||2 April 1851<br />{{ndash}}<br />7 January 1866<br /><hr />({{ayd|1851|4|2|1866|1|7}}) ||25 May 1851 ||7 January 1866<br />Wongchan Hall, [[Front Palace (Bangkok)|Front Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1808|9|4|1866|1|7}}) ||[[Rama IV]] |- |[[File:Wichaichan.jpg|100px|Wichaichan]] | style="background:#fffaf0;"|Krom Phrarajawang<br />Bowon [[Wichaichan]] ||6 September 1838<br />[[Thonburi Palace]] ||First cousin ||2 October 1868<br />{{ndash}}<br />28 August 1885<br /><hr />({{ayd|1868|10|2|1885|8|28}}) ||25 November 1868 ||28 August 1885<br />Bowon Boriwat Hall, [[Front Palace (Bangkok)|Front Palace]]<br />(aged {{ayd|1838|9|6|1885|8|28}}) ||[[Rama V]] |}
