General Prayut Chan-ocha as the Prime-minister of Thailand and at the same time the Head of the Reformation Constituency, proposed as his justification for a reformation that his Exemplary Good Governance would emphasize the 6 qualities, namely Legality, Morality, Transparency, Participation, Responsibility, and Effectivity, thus fulfilling the King’ Wisdom (Sastra Pra Raja) The researcher as a member of the Royal Academy of Thailand for Philosophy and Religion, and at the same time, Head of the School of Philosophy and Ethics in Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, always tries to show that His Majesty Bhumibol Rama IX, the late King of Thailand, during His long reign had promoted the prosperity of the country through His Philosophy of Good Governance, starting from the first Proclamation in the ceremony of Enthronement: “ We will govern by Dharma for the authentic happiness of the Great People of Siam.” This research took the accomplishment of the Egyptian Civilization as a case study to find out how it is possible to imply King Rama IX’ Philosophy to action for the effective outcome therewith.
