Framed Print of Taksin (Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat)
Taksin (Somdet Phra Chao Taksin Maharat, Thai: สมเด็จพระเจ้าตากสินมหาราช Chinese: 鄭昭 pinyin: Zheng Zhao, Teochew: Denchao, Vietnamese: Trịnh Quốc Anh), (April 17, 1734 - April 7, 1782) was the only King of the Thonburi Kingdom.
He is greatly revered by the Thai people for his leadership in liberating Siam from Burmese occupation after the Second Fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, and the subsequent unification of Siam after it fell under various warlords. He established the city Thonburi as the new capital, as the city Ayutthaya had been almost completely destroyed by the invaders. His reign was characterized by numerous wars, fought to repel new Burmese invasions and to subjugate the northern Tai kingdom of Lan Na, the Laotian principalities, and Cambodia. He was succeeded by the Chakri dynasty and the Rattanakosin Kingdom under his long time friend King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I).
Although warfare took up most of King Taksin's time, he paid a great deal of attention to politics, administration, economy, and the welfare of the country. He promoted trade and fostered relations with foreign countries including China, Britain, and the Netherlands. He had roads built and canals dug. Apart from restoring and renovating temples, the king attempted to revive literature, and various branches of the arts such as drama, painting, architecture and handicrafts. He also issued regulations for the collection and arrangement of various texts to promote education and religious studies.
In recognition of his achievements for Thailand, he was posthumously awarded the title of Maharaj ('Great King')
