Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram (Thai: แปลก พิบูลสงคราม; [plɛ̀ːk pʰí.būːn.sǒŋ.kʰrāːm]; alternatively transcribed as Pibulsongkram or Pibulsonggram; Chinese: 銮披汶·颂堪; 14 July 1897 – 11 June 1964), locally known as Chomphon Por (Thai: จอมพล ป.; [tɕɔ̄ːm.pʰōn.pɔ̄ː]), contemporarily known as Phibun (Pibul) in the West, was the longest serving 3rd Prime Minister of Thailand and fascist leader of Thailand from 1938 to 1944 and 1948 to 1957.

He was born Plaek Khittasangkha (Thai: แปลก ขีตตะสังคะ; [plɛ̀ːk kʰìːt.tà.sǎŋ.kʰá];Chinese: 吴別) in Nonthaburi Province to Keed Khittasangkha (Chinese: 吴杰) and his wife. Keed was of Chinese-Thai heritage; his father was a Cantonese-speaking Chinese immigrant. Plaek's parents owned a durian orchard. He received his given name - meaning "strange" in Thai - because of his unusual appearance as a child. Plaek Khittasangkha studied at Buddhist temple schools, then was appointed to Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy. He graduated in 1914 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the artillery. Following World War I, he was sent to study artillery tactics in France. In 1928, as he rose in rank, he received the noble title of Luang from King Prajadhipok and became known as Luang Phibunsongkhram. He would later drop his title, but adopted Phibunsongkhram as his surname.
