พระราชบัญญัติ

Thai

Alternative forms

Etymology

พระราช (prefix for royal persons and things relating to them, literally divine and royal) + บัญญัติ (ban-yàt, commandment; definition; determination; enactment; regulation). Compare Khmer ព្រះរាជបញ្ញត្តិ (preăhréachbânhnhôttĕ).

The first sense was probably first used on 27 June 1932, when an interim charter of Thailand was enacted following the overthrow of the absolute monarchy.
