Phleng Chat ( Thai เพลง ชาติ , pronunciation: [ Plen t͡ɕʰâːt ]) means " national anthem ", or more precisely Phleng Chat Thai ( เพลง ชาติ ไท ยิ [ Plen t͡ɕʰâːt Ta ]) is the national anthem of Thailand . It was introduced after the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932 . Before that, the royal anthem Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami served as the national anthem. It was composed by Phra Chenduriyang (Peter Veit; 1883–1968).

Like the national anthems of many other countries, it is written in C major . The meter follows a four-quarter time ; the performance title is Allegro maestoso .

On the occasion of the renaming of Siam in Thailand in 1939, the government announced a competition to replace the original text by Khun Wichitmatra . The winner was Luang Saranupraphan (1896–1954), one of the most important Thai writers of his time. The text reflects the nationalist and militarist ideology of the then government of Plaek Phibunsongkhram .

According to the decree of the nationalist government of Phibunsongkhram of 1939, which is still in force today, the national anthem is played daily at 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Thai television and radio programs. The same is true in public buildings and parks, where you usually get up from your seats or, if you are moving on foot, stop. In Thai schools, the national anthem is sung every morning before class starts at a roll call. Not stopping while the national anthem is playing is an administrative offense and can be punished with a fine.

Translated the text means:

Thailand is the embodiment of all blood and flesh of the Thai race.
Thailand to the Thais.
It stays that way, because all Thais are united with one another.
We Thais are a peace-loving people,
but when we have to fight we have no fear.
We will never allow the suppression of our independence,
sacrifice every drop of blood for our country
and increase the prosperity of Thailand. Hooray!
