Chaophraya Phrasadet Surentharathibodi

 * ... that Chaophraya Phrasadet Surentharathibodi (pictured) wrote a manual on etiquette in order to teach Siam's newly educated class proper behaviour? Source: "From the late nineteenth century, however, another genre of literature on manners began to appear, written to instruct students in the newly established modern education system about the personal qualities necessary for a career in the expanding royal bureaucracy. This article examines the most famous of these didactic texts, Qualities of a Gentleman, written by the prominent educational reformer Chaophraya Phrasadet Surentharathibodi (1867–1916)."
 * ALT1:... that Chaophraya Phrasadet Surentharathibodi (pictured) wrote the lyrics to the Thai patriotic song "Samakkhi Chumnum", which is set to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne"? Cited to a Thai source in the article, but also covered by this press release: "... he wrote textbooks for instilling discipline in Thai people and wrote a Thai version of the Scottish song “Auld Lang Syne” song in order to build a sense of unity in the people of Thailand."

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and a good illustration. - I wonder if we should mention his official function in education, rather than just lyrics for one song? - Please consider to explain "ordination" in the article by a link. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I wasn't quite sure how to include his official role while keeping the hook succinct; his title is already quite long, and so is the name of his post, which I don't think is that critical. Please just strike Alt1 if you don't find it interesting; I don't feel too strongly about it anyway. I've reworded the bit around ordination; I think it's now clear enough to negate the need for a link. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:14, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
