In the late 1880s, King Chulalongkorn of Siam initiated a major programme of internal reform. These reforms - the objectives that were being sought and the success that was achieved - have had a major influence in shaping the character of the modern Thai state. Using Thai-language archival material, this book examines a crucial element in the dismantling of the traditional government structure and the installation of a Western-style administration - the creation of a modern Ministry of Finance.
