Thailand Date in the current year: December 10, 2019 Constitution Day
is a public holiday in Thailand. It's observed on December 10 to
celebrate the anniversary of adoption of the first Constitution of
Thailand in 1932. In June 1932 a group of military and civilians
staged a bloodless revolution, that lead to the end of the absolute
monarchy in Siam (present-day Thailand). These people formed the
People's Party (Khana Ratsadon), that drafted the provisional
constitution, also known as Temporary Charter. King Prajadhipok was
given an ultimatum and he signed the charter, that limited his power.
This charter paved the way for the first constitution, that
established constitutional monarchy in Siam. The constitution was
promulgated on December 10, 1932. It stated, that the sovereign power
belonged to the people of Siam, but the executive body would be the
king, rather than the government. The royal power would be exercised
with the advice of the People's Assembly, the State Council and the
Courts. Constitution Day is a public holiday in Thailand, people have
an additional day off to enjoy free festive events and concerts.
