Thailand: Mom Rajawongse Seni Pramoj (1905-1997), Prime Minister of Thailand September 17, 1945 – January 31, 1946; February 15, 1975 – March 13, 1975; April 20, 1976 – October 6, 1976

Mom Rajawongse Seni Pramoj (May 26, 1905 – July 28, 1997) was Prime Minister of Thailand three times and a politician in the Democrat Party. A member of the Thai royal family, he was a descendant of King Rama II.

Seni's final term was a time of crisis in the nation. A rightwing backlash against leftist student demonstrators culminated in the Thammasat University massacre on October 6, 1976, and the military forced him out of office.

Seni decided to resign as the leader of the Democrat Party and left politics permanently. He worked as a lawyer until his retirement.
