Phraya Si Sitthisongkhram
Thai general (1891-1933)
Phraya Si Sitthisongkhram (Thai: พระยาศรีสิทธิสงคราม) or birth name Din Tharap (Thai: ดิ่น ท่าราบ; 10 May 1891–23 October 1933) was a Siamese career army officer. He became chief of staff of the First Army under the absolute monarchy, and was chief of operations of the army briefly during the post-1932 constitutional monarchy. He served as deputy commander of the royalist troops during the failed Boworadet Rebellion of 1933.
Biography
Din Tharab studied at a military academy in Imperial Germany where he was a classmate with Phot Phahonyothin and Thep Phanthumasen. He received several royal titles, eventually becoming Phraya[1] Sitthisongkhram. He was invited by his two classmates to join the Khana Ratsadon (People's Party) to revolutionize Siam, but he refused. He knew the whole plan but did not oppose it. An outspoken royalist, on 11 October 1933, he joined Prince Boworadet in a rebellion to restore power to King Rama VII, who had surrendered it the previous year to the People's Party after its successful coup. Initially, the Rebellion positioned itself at Don Mueang and Bang Khen, on the northern outskirts of Bangkok. After a week-long fight, however, rebel forces were driven away from Bangkok.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Phraya Si Sitthisongkhram” as thai general (1891-1933). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as thai general (1891-1933). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6581493. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1891, 1933 and 1932.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
