Titles
Another term for prime minister is "Akeak Moha Sena Padey" or Aggamaha Senapati in Pali. If you want the break down: Agga = premiere, maha= great, Senapati = commander.PJC wrote:"Samdech Akak Moha Sena Padey Decho" - what do they actually mean? What's the cultural background?
The rank of Samdech is usually reserved for royalty or supreme monks. I can't explain the use of "Decho" here; It means power/authority. All this fluff for someone who thought they deserved a fancier title than Neayouk Rott Montrey.
I would guess a lot of this styling comes from Siamese court influence and Theravada literature too.
