Front: King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) (1927–2016), the ninth monarch of Thailand's Chakri dynasty who reigned from 1946 to 2016, making him the longest-reigning monarch in Thai history. His portrait shows him in formal military uniform with glasses, representing his role as a modernizing force who promoted agricultural development, rural infrastructure, and sustainable resource management throughout his reign. The Garuda emblem, Thailand's national symbol, appears at upper left and right.

Back: The Royal Ploughing Ceremony (Raek Na Khwan), an ancient Brahmin ritual marking the beginning of the rice-growing season, conducted annually in Thailand since the Sukhothai period. The scene depicts the ceremonial first ploughing with sacred white oxen, a tradition presided over by the king or his representative to ensure agricultural prosperity. This ceremony reflects Thailand's agrarian heritage and the monarchy's historic role as guarantor of the kingdom's fertility and abundance.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to Thailand's 10th series, issued during the reign of King Rama IX. The series was introduced in 1969 and circulated through the 1970s, featuring the young king who had ascended the throne in 1946. The 10 baht denomination was a mid-value note in this series. The Royal Ploughing Ceremony motif emphasizes the monarch's traditional role in ensuring agricultural success, a theme that resonated strongly during this period of Thailand's development. The serial number format with Thai numerals (๙ ๗ ๑๔๖๕๖๐๖) and prefix '๙ ง' is characteristic of Bank of Thailand notes from this era. No known public serial-year encoding has been documented for this issuer's 10th series.
