English Translation

Thailand embraces in its bosom all people of Thai blood.Every inch of Thailand belongs to the Thais.It has long maintained its sovereignty,Because the Thais have always been united.The Thai people are peace-loving,But they are no cowards at war.They shall allow no one to rob them of their independence,Nor shall they suffer tyranny.All Thais are ready to give up every drop of bloodFor the nation's safety, freedom and progress.
