times the prime minister of thailand from august 1944 to 1945 from january to may 1946 and from november 1947 to april 1948 early life and political career edit khuang was born in battambang a city in cambodia a son of the siamese governor chao phraya abhayabhubet the aphaiwongs were of royal khmer lineage 1 khuang attended debsirin school and assumption college bangkok later studying engineering at the ecole centrale de lyon in france on his return to thailand he worked in the telegraph department finally becoming director of the department this earned him the feudal title luang kowit aphaiwong he married lekha kunadilok goone tilleke daughter of ceylon born lawyer william alfred goone tilleke founder of the law firm tilleke gibbins 2 promoter of regime change and minister edit khuang was a member of the civil faction of khana ratsadon people s party the group that promoted the siamese revolution of 1932 that brought a regime change from absolute to constitutional monarchy afterwards he served as minister without portfolio in the cabinets of phraya phahon phonphayuhasena and plaek phibunsongkhram phibun during world war ii he was commissioned a major and joined the king s guard as such he was at the head of the mission to battambang which in july 1941 took control of the cambodian territories occupied during the franco thai war to be renamed phra tabong province his father had been governor of part of this region before it was ceded to france 1907 3 better source needed later he became minister of commerce and communications despite holding positions in the government khuang was largely apolitical and held technical posts such as director general of the post and telegraph department and minister of communications 4 prime minister of thailand edit first premiership 1944 1945 edit on 24 july 1944 phibun submitted his resignation to the council of regency over the national assembly s refusal to accept two bills concerning the construction of a new capital city at phetchabun and a buddhist city near saraburi which were defeated on july 20 and july 22 respectively whether this was a planned conspiracy to oust phibun is unclear with khuang stating that pridi banomyong phibun s rival since the 1930s had sent agents to get in touch with assembly members the council accepted phibun s resignation on july 26 in an emergency session the assembly elected khuang as prime minister who was the vice president of the assembly at the time 4 he was a compromise candidate standing between the phibun supporters and the opposition free thai movement 5 khuang attributed his success to pridi s influence his appointment was opposed by prince aditya dibabha head of the council of regency who refused to sign the decree appointing khuang as pm after failing to persuade khuang against becoming pm aditya resigned from the council on july 31 pridi was named the sole regent by the assembly and appointed khuang pm on august 1 4 khuang s cabinet was mainly made of civilians and pridi supporters sindhu songkhramchai of the navy was persuaded to become the minister of defence after khuang had difficulties finding someone who would take the post phahon joined the cabinet as a minister without portfolio to balance phibun s influence over the army after his resignation phibun had been at the military complex he built in lopburi and rumours circulated that phibun would launce a coup against khuang to end tensions the two men met in lopburi and phibun wrote a statement promising he had no intentions to oust khuang however as long as phibun maintained a role in the military there was always the possibility of a coup in another meeting khuang sought to get phibun to resign from his role as supreme commander of the armed forces phibun refused once back in bangkok khuang secretly abolished phibun s post and named phahon as commander in chief military units were then instructed to follow only phahon s orders giving that the navy was largely loyal to pridi khuang and phahon sought refuge at the naval headquarters in thonburi in anticipation of a response from phibun phibun however accepted the change and retired to bangkok 4 in regards to world war ii khuang made the re establishment of good relations with the japanese his priority even if it was superficial in the first policy announcement of his government khuang reaffirmed that thai foreign policy would align with the japanese matters relating to the free thai movement were left to pridi and thawi bunyaket 4 additionally he shielded the free thai who collaborated with the allies 6 249 after the defeat of the japanese in august 1945 khuang resigned on 31 august 1945 to make way for a new administration by the free thai forces thawi succeeded khuang in a caretaker role until senj pramoj was appointed pm on september 17 6 251 second premiership january march 1946 edit in 1946 he was one of the founders of the conservative democrat party and became its first leader the fourth national elections on 6 january 1946 were won by the democrat party which gained him a second term as prime minister starting on 31 january only 45 days later on 24 march his government lost a vote of no confidence in parliament and he resigned third premiership and later life november 1947 april 1948 edit khuang became prime minister a third time on 10 november 1947

representatives although all members ran as independents khuang s government spent the next three months preparing to draft a new constitution to replace the 1946 constitution 6 the new constitution would further limit the military s role the coup leaders were not pleased and forced khuang to resign on 8 april 1948 this enabled phibun to become prime minister again khuang continued in politics as
