Timeline

1928

Somdet Kiaw (3 March 1928 – 10 August 2013) was a Thai Buddhist monk who served as the abbot of Wat Saket and the acting Supreme Patriarch of Thailand.

Somdet Kiaw (สมเด็จเกี่ยว; ) was born Kiaw Chokchai (เกี่ยว โชคชัย).

His Dhamma name, in the Pali language, was Upaseṇo (อุปเสโณ), and his highest monastic title was Somdet Phra Buḍhācārya (สมเด็จพระพุฒาจารย์; ).

His previous monastic titles were as follows:

2005

Somdet Kiaw was appointed acting Supreme Patriarch in 2005 due to the failing health of the incumbent Supreme Patriarch Nyanasamvara Suvaddhana.

He was a monk of the Mahanikaya order, and was of Thai Chinese descent.

His appointment provoked severe criticism from Luang Ta Maha Bua (of the Dhammayuttika Nikaya order) and Sondhi Limthongkul, who claimed that the appointment created two Supreme Patriarchs and contravened the royal prerogative of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

On 4 March 2005, Maha Bua even petitioned King Bhumibol Adulyadej to remove all of Kiaw's royal titles.
