Abstract
This research article aims to explore King Chulalongkorn’s concepts of public health based on 10 royal writings. The findings reveal the concepts related to western medicine, traditional Thai medicine and alternative medicine, medical treatments using both western and traditional Thai approaches, and disease prevention. These four concepts of public health were presented holistically in careful and thorough thinking. This has enabled Thailand to establish a strong foundation of public health, to make steady progress and to be ranked as the world’s sixth strongest health security.
