During his reign, many transformative changes occurred in the country, bringing progress that equaled that of various civilized nations. One of his most important reforms was the gradual abolition of slavery without bloodshed or violent resistance, accomplished through legal measures and his remarkable wisdom, resulting in the end of slavery in Thailand over more than 30 years.
