The Journal of the Royal Institute of Thailand Volume IV - 2012 21  Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan and the King of Malaya, His Majesty King Yang di-Pertuan Agong Syed Putra Jamalullail and Her Majesty Queen Raja Permaisuri Agong, in a magni fi cent and digni fi ed ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. With these state visits, Thailand had tied the friendship with all neighboring countries and attached a condition of alliance to fi ght against the communists in South East Asia. The policy of establishing a balance of power, in the time of King Chulalongkorn, by making alliances with Russia and Germany, to balance the two powers of Europe, England and France, turned out to be a policy of friendship with the whole ‘western democratic world’ in the 20 th century. The result was to balance and protect Thailand from the power of two major ‘socialist-communist countries’, Soviet Union and the People Republic of China.
