Uthumphon's birth date? Birth date of 1722 in Thai article source?[edit]

In the Thai article for Uthumphon, it lists his birth year as 1722. Where is the source for that? None of my English-language sources say anything on the monarchs' birth dates. At 1:14:06 of a series of lectures regarding the 250 year anniversary of the Fall of Ayutthaya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7pcdSJL_7s, I think the Professor says that Uthumphon was born the same year as the civil war between Boromakot and, according to the professor, when translated into English, a "son of King Thai Sa", so Uthumphon was born in 1733? Can someone look into this, preferably someone who knows Thai and is an expert at this?Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 06:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was Uthumphon reappointed a Viceory when he came out of the monkhood one time?[edit]

In WAR Wood's "History of Siam", it mentions something along the lines of Ekkathat stepping down and letting Uthumphon come out of the monkhood (the first out of two times I believe, the second time for the final war with Burma), but I think it's more likely that since there's the instance of Mongkut and Pinklao being co-rulers, perhaps Uthumphon was reappointed Front Palace? Can anyone help clarify or is the source wrong in that instance, which is possible given how old that book is. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 05:10, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
