This article explores the conservative liberalism that took shape in Thailand in response to the degeneration of the 1932 Siamese revolution against the absolute monarchy. Conservative liberalism’s support for a constitutional monarchy shares a family resemblance with Constantian liberalism in its attempt to regulate the exercise of power. The article examines how conservative liberals harnessed regard for the monarchy to advance limited and accountable government, rationality, individuality and liberty. It does this by using Michael Freeden’s morphological approach to study the political discourse of Seni and Kukrit Pramoj, two highly influential Thai politicians. The article concludes that a morphological approach to the study of ideology may help in the recovery of multiple Southeast Asian liberalisms that have been ignored by scholars who employ a narrow conception of what counts as liberalism.
