Lyrics

เพลงชาติไทย

ประเทศไทยรวมเลือดเนื้อชาติเชื้อไทย
เป็นประชารัฐ ไผทของไทยทุกส่วน
อยู่ดำรงคงไว้ได้ทั้งมวล
ด้วยไทยล้วนหมาย รักสามัคคี

ไทยนี้รักสงบ แต่ถึงรบไม่ขลาด
เอกราชจะไม่ให้ใครข่มขี่
สละเลือดทุกหยาดเป็นชาติพลี
เถลิงประเทศชาติไทยทวีมีชัย ชโย

Prathet Thai ruam lueat nuea chat chuea Thai
Pen pracha rat, phathai khong Thai thuk suan
Yu damrong khong wai dai thang muan
Duai Thai luan mai rak samakkhi

Thai ni rak sa-ngop, tae thueng rop mai khlat
Ekkarat cha mai hai khrai khom khi
Sala lueat thuk yat pen chat phli
Thaloeng prathet chat Thai thawi mi chai chayo

English translation

Thailand unites the flesh and blood of all Thais.
The nation belongs to the people of Thailand.
It maintains its independence enduringly.
Because the Thai people are united in harmony.

Thai people are peace-loving,
But are not cowards in war.
They shall allow no one to oppress their independence.
All are ready to sacrifice every drop of blood
For the nation’s safety, freedom, and progress. Victory!
