Mongkut, the King of Siam from 1851 to 1868, promoted a form of Buddhism that emphasized rational thought and the compatibility of Buddhist teachings with modern science. By encouraging a critical examination of religious texts and integrating Western concepts, he facilitated a dialogue between traditional Siamese beliefs and Western ideas. This approach helped Siam adopt Western technological and educational advancements while maintaining its cultural identity, ultimately leading to a more progressive society. His efforts played a crucial role in modernizing Siam and fostering diplomatic relations with Western powers.
