Boworadet Rebellion

The Boworadet rebellion (Thai: กบฏบวรเดช; RTGS: kabot bowon det; [kà.bòt.bɔ̄ː.wɔ̄ː.rá.dèt]) was a 1933 Thai rebellion (or unsuccessful coup d'état) led by royalist Prince Boworadet, as a result of the conflicts between the previous royalist regime (those loyal to Chakri dynasty rule and King Prajadhipok) and the succeeding constitutional regime led by Khana Ratsadon ('People's Party'), following the Revolution of 1932. The Boworadet rebellion was eventually defeated by the Siamese Government.
