Prince Chulalongkorn, the son of King Rama IV, became the fifth king of the Chakri Dynasty when he was only 15 years old. During his reign, he initiated many important social reforms.
The king abolished serfdom and the conscription of commoners for slave labour. He also reformed the government by applying the nation-state policy.
