Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawongse (Thai: สมเด็จเจ้าพระยาบรมมหาประยูรวงศ์; RTGS: Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong; 1788 – 26 April 1855), also known as Dit Bunnag (Thai: ดิศ บุนนาค; RTGS: Dit Bunnak), was a prominent Siamese statesman of the mid-19th century and served as regent for King Mongkut throughout the kingdom. He rose to the exalted rank of Somdet Chao Phraya — the highest noble title attainable during the Rattanakosin Era, carrying a prestige comparable to royalty. He was widely referred to as Somdet Chao Phraya Ong Yai (Thai: สมเด็จเจ้าพระยาองค์ใหญ่). Earlier in his career, he was known as Chao Phraya Phraklang (Thai: เจ้าพระยาพระคลัง), Minister of Trade, and became the dominant figure in Siam's Western and foreign affairs during the reign of King Rama III. He later held the office of Samuha Kalahom (Thai: สมุหกลาโหม), the chief minister responsible for the southern half of the kingdom, from 1830 until his death in 1855.
