Back: King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX, 1927–2016), the ninth monarch of the Chakri dynasty, who reigned from 1946 to 2016 as the longest-serving head of state in the world. He appears in formal military dress uniform with decorations. On the left is a traditional Thai guardian statue (yaksha). This portrait design was used throughout the 9th Series issued during his reign.

The story

Background & history

This note belongs to Thailand's 9th Series, issued from 1969 to 1978 during the reign of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). The series was printed by Thomas De La Rue and featured King Taksin the Great on the 10 baht denomination, honoring his role in restoring Thai independence. The reverse consistently depicted King Bhumibol across all denominations of this series. The note bears serial number 2D9178611 / ๒ ก ๕๒๘๕๖๖, with Thai numeral serial ๒ ก ๕๒๘๕๖๖ on the back. Governor Puey Ungphakorn served as Governor of the Bank of Thailand from 1959 to 1971, which helps date this note to approximately 1969–1971. The 9th Series was replaced by the 10th Series beginning in 1978.
